Finding photos with Keyword Tags or those in an Album

panel.

Locating file with the Organizer Search box
Photoshop Elements also contains a special search box that can be used to quickly locate
photos with different tags. It is located in the main Organizer space at the top of the window
in the Shortcuts bar. Typing a search term here will create a live list of all the keywords that
match in a popup menu. Selecting one of the list entries will display just those images associ-
ated with the keyword.
Find by details (metadata)
As we have already seen in passing, the Find option is designed to allow users to search the
details or metadata that are attached to their picture files. Most digital cameras automati-
cally store shooting details from the time of capture within the photo document itself. Called
metadata, you can view this information by clicking the Metadata button inside the Proper-
ties palette.
