Greetings All-

I've looked...and looked, and I don't think this has been requested yet...if it has, my most sincere apologizes.

Is it possible to add "user defined"  tags to the keyword metadata field of an image (jpeg and/or raw)?  I'm a .net developer and part time photographer trying to get into high volume photography (think youth sports, schools, etc...)

Here would be my ideal workflow...

1) Have a companion android app that has a list of all the subjects that i would be photographing (Ben, Jane, Joe)...
2) tether a tablet to camera running ML...
3) open android app and select "Ben" (say Ben has a unique ID - "12345")...
4) take pictures of Ben...
with each picture taken, "12345" is added to the the keyword field by ML...
5) select new subject in andriod app (Jane  ID - "67890")
6) take pictures of Jane
now, "67890" will be added to each picture taken by ML...

Rinse and Repeat.  :)

Now, in post processing, i can write a simple c#/.net app that will read the metadata for each image and sort them, by subject, automatically!  viola!!!!!!!! 1000's of photos sorted in seconds :D  :D

The key....adding/tagging the metadata to the images WHEN i shoot....

Really looking forward to finding out if this is even possible....

Thank you all in advance!
