CVKC Keywords Software for Bridge and Lightroom

I recently purchased a version of the controlled vocabulary keywords software from David Rieick’s website (www.controlledvocabulary.com).

The CVKC software for Lightroom is slightly different to the version for Bridge, due to Lightroom allowing synonym designations, which are displayed in the CVKC file in {} brackets.

e.g Bridge format:-

action
>aim
>>aiming
>arm wrestling

Lightroom format:-

action
>aim
>>{aiming}
>arm wrestling

Davids website licenses the software to a single user, so you could download a version of CVKC for both Bridge and Lightroom.

After some experimenting, I would advise just using the Bridge version, which is also compatible with Lightroom. Provided you do not use the Lightroom synonym designation, you will be able to easily transfer the keyword list back and forth between the 2 two programs.
