Organizing your photos with tags
Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 automatically organizes your photos in the Photo Well based on when they
were taken. However, you can enhance the organization, sorting, previewing, and finding of photos by using tags.
Tags are like keywords that you can attach to your photos, video clips, and audio clips. They don’t change the items
to which they’re attached. They simply give you additional and more flexible ways of finding and organizing them.
Tags also free you from having to file your items in folders by subject or renaming files. For example, you can create
a tag called “Dad” and attach it to every photo featuring your father, and then instantly find all photos with that tag,
regardless of where the photos are stored on your system.
Moreover, you can attach more than one tag to an item. For instance, you might have tags with the names of
individual people, places, and events in your life. By attaching multiple tags to your photos, you could search for
these tags to find a particular person at a particular place and event.
You create and work with tags with the Tags pane of the Photo Well. By default, there are four categories of tags in
the Tags pane: People, Places, Events, and Other. You can organize tags under these categories, as well as create your
own categories and multiple levels of subcategories. In addition, two special kinds of tags are displayed at the top of
the Tags pane:
•
Favorites.
Photos with the Favorites tag have a star icon attached to them to make it easy to quickly find your
favorite photos.
•
Hidden.
Items with a Hidden tag attached don’t appear in the Photo Well unless you specifically select the Hidden
tag as one of the search criteria. You might apply a Hidden tag to items that you want to keep but generally don’t
want to see.
