Adding keywords to photos?

Hey Gage
Held cursor over the picture and nothing happened, but at least I did see the picture.

It works in Explorer, but doesn't work with Netscape (v7)

I apologize in advance for being pedantic, but I love to teach, even when the student doesn't want to learn, so you can skip this if you want...but, it could be helpful.

I found that discipline and planning can help you organize files and photos so you can find them quickly. I keep all of my files, whether photos or documents, organized by creating sub folders with meaningful names, dates, etc. We used this method where I worked in creating proposals, organizing by creating folders with the proposal name, then sub folders with section and sub section names.

I start by using the standard sub folders under My Documents, such as Word or Excel, or create new ones as needed such as Photos or Web Files. I have a lot of sub folders under both Excel and Word.

I created another subfolder Photos, and have many subfolders under that one. The example shown below is a sub folder Camper Photos where I keep all of my photos of my build and plans. The first 12 subfolder names have numbers that correspond to the chapters of my plans document. My sub folder Photos for all of my other photos (scanned or digital) contains 61 sub folders with over 1900 photos in them and there are over 900 photos in my Camper Photos sub folders, and all are easily found by locating the correct sub folder names in Explorer.

Here is a view of part of my sub folder Camper Photos. I had to cut off several of the sub folders at the bottom in order to make the image 480 pixels high to keep the resolution sharp.



I hope this helps some of you with your file organizing.

I think Ifranview or Exifer can do what you want. Adds keywords description, I dunno what else. I add the keywords (under the IPTC tab) to a picture then I am able to search for a picture with the windows search function.
