Thanks Phil ... of course that answer just brought up another question: when using exiftool "-keywords<regionpersondisplayname" people.jpg how can I prefix each of the keywords with text of my choosing? I tried exiftool "-kewords<person $regionpersondisplayname" people.jpg but that resulted in the two keywords being combined into one: person Fred Flintstone, Patriarch, Betty Boop when what I was looking for is the two original keywords each prefixed with the text 'person': person Fred Flintsonte, Patriarch person Betty Boop Thanks, Dan Schless
