In-Depth Information
If you want to assign people, places, or events tags, in the Tags panel, click the green +
sign to the right of the kind of tag you want to create. If you click the + sign to the right
of “Places Tags,” for example, a map appears so that you can associate the photo with its
location (see
Tagging Places
for details).
No matter which method you use, Elements automatically assigns the first photo to which
you apply the tag as the tag's icon image, but you can edit the tag's icon, as explained in
Fig-
ure 2-13
. To assign the tag to a photo, simply drag the tag's icon from the Tags panel onto the
photo's thumbnail. You can rearrange tags by dragging them to different categories in the
Tags panel, and change tags to categories and categories to tags by right-clicking/Control-
clicking them and choosing from the pop-up menu.
TIP
To see all the photos that have a certain tag assigned, in the Tags panel, just turn on the
checkbox to the left of its name. To get back to all your photos, turn off the checkbox or
click the Back button at the top of the window.
To remove a tag you've assigned:
▪
From a single photo
. Right-click/Control-click the photo's thumbnail and select Re-
move Keyword Tag→[name of tag].
▪
From a group of photos
. Select the photos, right-click/Control-click one of them, select
“Remove Keyword Tag from Selected Items,” and then choose the tag you want to re-
move.
