ORGANISING PHOTOS
O
ver the previous pages we demonstrated how to
tag photos according to who is in them (Add
People) or where they were captured (Add Places).
These tags enable you to search for shots by
browsing through the pictures in the People or Places panels.
You can also type a person’s name into the Search field at the
top right of the Organizer’s workspace and reveal all photos
tagged with that name. By placing a shot in an Album you
also add a tag to it.
The Organizer automatically attaches the People, Place
and Album tags to a shot’s metadata. This metadata also
describes properties such as when the shot was taken, the
camera model used and so on. When you share a photovia email, any tags will remain attached, such as copyright
information you might have assigned when importing the
images with the Photo Downloader (see chapter 2).
Up until Elements 12, you can get the Organizer to
automatically generate and assign tags to your whole
collection, courtesy of the Smart Tags function. Smart Tags
can help you search for specific files more easily in the future- such as over-exposed or out-of-focus photos. This is no
longer available from Elements 13 onwards, however.
As well as People, Places, Album and Smart Tags you can
create customised keywords for any photo. For example, if a
photo contains a cow you can assign the Cow keyword to it,
enabling you find the image in seconds.
