In-Depth Information
In Media view, if you look at the Tags panel (
Media View
), in the Places category, you see
the place tags assigned to your photos. That's at most four levels of tagging, because that's
all the Organizer's map can do. So you might see something like United States, Georgia, Sa-
vannah, and Historic District-North. These tags are always visible when the Tags panel is on-
screen, so you can see them in Media view and use them in searches.
TIP
If you're upgrading from an older version of Elements where you used the map and now
you have two differently named tags for the same location—like an Elements 9 tag for
“Our House” and an Elements 12 Place tag for the actual address, say—you can combine
them. Just assign the older tag to the exact same location as the new tag (type out the ad-
dress, if possible), and Elements will merge the old tag into the new place tag.
Once your photos have been tagged with locations (by you or your camera), you can see
them on the map again by clicking the Map button at the bottom right of Places view. This
opens as a regular map view, which you can drag around and search to locate your photos.
Click a pin to display a pop-up that says Show Media; click that to make the photos for that
location appear in the image area. There's also a search field at the top of the map where you
can type a place name to find it quickly.
NOTE
When you don't have an Internet connection, the Places map view isn't available.
Places view also includes the Instant Fix button (
The Quick Fix Toolbox
)
so you can make
quick corrections to your photos right there.
Tagging Places in Media View
You don't have to switch to Places view to add place tags to your images. You can create
place tags right in Media view by clicking the Add Places button at the bottom of the win-
dow or by going to the Tags panel's Places Tags section and clicking the green + sign to the
right of the words “Places Tags.” Either way, Elements displays the same map you see in
