Using Help | Contents | Index Back 6 Adobe Photoshop Album Help Addendum: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 Using Help | Contents | Index Back 7 Organizing your photos Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition automatically organizes your photos in the photo well based on when they were taken. However, you can enhance the organization, sorting, previewing, and finding of photos by using tags. You can use keyword tags to find photos based on the people in them, where the photo was taken, the event, and other characteristics of the photo that are important to you. When you tag your photos, you don't have to remember each photo's filename, date, or folder. Using tags also liberates you from filing your photos in folders by subject, and from renaming your photos and videos. To use tags, you first need to open the Tag pane. Attach one or more tags from the Tag pane to a photo in the photo well by dragging and dropping them onto the photo. Tags don't change the photos they are attached to; they simply give you additional and more flexible ways of finding and organizing your photos. To open the Tag pane: Click the Tags button in the shortcuts bar. To create your own tag: 1 Click the New button in the Tag pane and choose New Tag. 2 In the Create Tag dialog box, use the Category menu to choose which category or subcategory you want to list the tag under. 3 In the Name text box, type the name you want to give the tag. 4 In the Note text box, type any information you want to add about the tag. (For example, you could write that Mildred is your mom's elementary school friend who lives in New York.) 5 Click OK. The tag appears in the Tag pane under the category or subcategory you selected. Notice that the tag has a question mark icon . The first time you attach the tag to a photo, it will use that photo as its icon. You can change the icon to a different photo. For more information on changing the icon and for using tags, see the Photoshop Album 2.0 Help. To attach a tag to a photo: Drag the tag from the Tag pane onto the photo in the photo well. Finding your photos It's easy to find photos in Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition. You can use tags to find photos by subject. In the Tag pane, double-click a specific tag; the search will find all photos that have that particular tag attached. Simply select the check boxes next to the tags and you will be able to cross-reference or search using multiple tags. The Best match results will find photos that have all the selected tags in them. The Close match results will find photos that have one or more of the selected tags in them. The timeline lets you narrow the range of photos and jump to a particular month just by clicking a bar.
