A few days ago I mentioned “tagging” when announcing the release or Aperture 3. If you are not already taking the time to add keywords (aka tagging) to your images please take a few moments and think ahead 5 years when you want to find that photo of susie when she was blowing out the candles at her 3rd birthday. I would use the following keywords: susie, susie3, cake, birthday. Iphoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, Picasa and other programs allow you to easily add keywords to your images and once those go online the popular photo sites all allow search and sort by keywords. It is well worth the time invested. You may not consider the amount of photos you have now to be overwhelming but the numbers will only continue to grow, you will only continue to get more forgetful and the technology that will allow searching and sorting based on keywords is only going to get better – No reason not too in my mind. Leave a comment with your thoughts on tagging. Look for a short How-to video on using Lightroom to efficiently tag large groups of images.
