To tag a photo when you are comparing images:
1 Do one of the following:
• Click the image in the Compare Images Viewer, then click the Tag button in the Image
toolbar.
• In the Comparison List, click the checkbox in the bottom right corner of the image
thumbnails.
2Click OK. The Compare Images Viewer closes. You will see a checkmark in the checkbox of the
images that you tagged.
To display a tagged photo:
In the Browser, click View | Organize to display the Organize pane, then click Tagged. Tagged
photos from all your folders display in the File List pane of the Browser.
It is good practice to apply categories and ratings to tagged photos, then clear the tags from the
photos. Categories and ratings are more effective for organizing and grouping your photos over a
long period of time.
