Adding Keywords or Tags

Mombaums wrote on 7/20/2021, 10:53 AM

I am a new user and am having trouble finding instructions on how to add a keyword or tag to photos. I see references to searching by keyword but not how to add it. Can someone tell me how to do that or where to find that information? Can I add multiple keywords to a photo? Eg, I want to be able to tag photos of "Susie" or "dance" so that I can search for them either way. TIA

@Mombaums

The instructions are in the Help file in the program

You can only tag people in images, however I do not think is completely what you are looking for as you have mentioned 'house'.

I suspect that what you are looking for is Categories, you can assign images to the categories that you set up, an image can be placed in several categories.

You can use both tags and categories - there is no duplication of images, the only information stored in the database is where they are located and the tag and/or category they are in.

This is also covered in the Help.

Tip: do backup the database regularly - see under the Database menu.
