Image / Photo Tagging

What is Photo or Image Tagging?

Photo tagging is the modern equivalent of hand-writing names, places, years, and events on the back of old photos or around the borders of slides. Tagging lets you store this type of information within the file that contains the digital photo.

Tags are IPTC keywords used to describe digital photos. A keyword or category is something abstract, but a tag is something tangible which you can visualize — like a gift tag, or a price tag.

Standard Tags Include

• Location (GPS): Where the photo was taken
• Time: When the photo was taken
• Keywords: Anything you want to record about the photo (people, event, year, place, etc.)
• Caption or Title: Tagline to go along with the photo

Why Photo or Image Tagging?

The folder concept has significant limitations for digital photo organization — an item can only be in a single folder at a time without duplication. Photo tagging lets you organize, then easily search for the photos you want.

The true power of tags is revealed when it comes time to find your photos later. You no longer need to remember which folder you put something in — you only need to think of some aspect of the photo that you would have used in a tag.

Benefits of Photo Tagging

• Storing key information with the photo: The most important information (who, when, where, what) is embedded into the photo and goes with it
• Better Search Experience: Easily search by keywords in Windows Explorer or Spotlight for the photos you want, irrespective of storage location
