Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
I'm very curious how many tags I have in all of my photos, and I am having a hard time finding out a tool that will just simply show you a summary of how many tags exist in the files. Best Case scenario would be one that showed a count of each tag i.e
Directory A
Christmas 1,334
Birthdays 4,041
Chicago 344
Vacations 2,398

Sortof how "Word Count" does in Microsoft Word. Basically just the statistics of your IPTC tags
 
I haven't used it in a while, but I am fairly certain that Lightroom can do that.

I was hoping the same, but I can't seem to find anywhere in Lightroom that shows this info. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction if it does.
 
Open Lightroom to the Library module. With the Library module in Grid View, display the Filter Bar by selecting 'Show Filter Bar' in the Metadata menu or by pressing the \ key (not the / key).

The filter bar has several filtering methods to choose from. you would want to select 'Text'.

Remember, Lightroom can only open 1 catalog at a time. If you have your images in more than one catalog, Lightroom's primary function is essentially lost to you.

You will want to search your entire catalog becuase the filter is a 'local' feature and won't carryover if you filter collection by collection:
