Tagging images
It is easy to take hundreds of photos at an important event like a wedding or a marathon. After you
have transferred those photos to your computer, you will want to review them and select the best
photos. Tagging is a fast and easy way to identify your best photos or to separate them for editing or
review.
The tagging checkbox is at the bottom right corner of the thumbnails. Click the checkbox to tag or un-
tag photos. Photos remain tagged until you clear the checkmark from the checkbox.
You can display all your tagged photos with one click. Tagging, like categories and ratings, is a way to
set aside, organize, and group your photos without moving the files into different folders.
To tag a photo in the Browser or Viewer:
• In the Browser, click the checkbox in the bottom right corner of the thumbnail.
• In the Viewer, click the Tagging icon in the bottom right corner of the status bar.
• In the Viewer, click View | Properties to display the Properties pane, click the Database tab, then
click the Tagged checkbox.
