Tagging with keywords

FotoFusion Enhanced and Extreme users can apply keywords and other tags to their images.
These terms can then be used to search for images and projects more efficiently. Items that have been keyworded or tagged will appear under the MINE tab of search hovers.

This is a particularly useful feature if you have a collection of decorative graphics you wish to make instantly available on the Create screen, such as a collection of background papers.

To add keywords to your images, click on the tab to open the Organizer.

This will open the Organizer.

From the Source tab, select the directory or directories containing the images you wish to catalogue.

Please note that you will need check-mark each subdirectory you wish to include. Check-marking an upper level directory will NOT display the images contained within the subdirectories contained within it. Hold the Control key while checkmarking an upper level category to include all subdirectories beneath it.

Organise source tab

Once your images have displayed, you can:

•	add keywords one at a time: select an individual image, then apply the keywords under the properties tab.

•	add keywords to groups of images: multiple select images (Ctrl-click on each image to add to the group), then apply the keywords.

•	add keywords to pre-sorted groups of images: drag and drop images into the buckets, then add keywords to the entire bucket.

Adding keywords

The Keyword editor allows you to assign:

•	any words or groups of works you want. This includes proper names, adjectives, or labeling information -- the choice is yours.

•	the TYPE of item you are classifying. For instance, add background textures to "Embellishment >> Papers" to make these items appear under the Papers search hover on the Create screen.

•	the Theme: predefined themes which correspond to common photo subjects

•	Ratings: 1-5 stars.

You can leave any of these fields blank.

You can delete keywords, or change Type/Theme/Rating to any item at any time. The information is added immediately to your items (there is no "ok" or "apply" to click). You may, however, need to relaunch to make the changes appear in the Create screen hovers.

Once tagged, you can use the Search hovers to look for your materials, under the Mine tab.
