Adding Your Own Info to Photos


Although your digital camera automatically embeds information into your photos, you can also add your own info from right within the Organizer. This includes simple things like a photo caption (that can appear onscreen when you display your photos in a slide show), or you can add notes to your photos for your personal use, either of which can be used to help you search for photos later.

Step One

First, click on the photo in the Photo Browser window you want to add your own info to and click the Show or Hide Properties button at the bottom left of the Organizer, or you can also use the keyboard shortcut by pressing Alt-Enter.

Step Two

This brings up the Properties palette along the bottom-right corner of the Organizer. At the top of the palette are four buttons for the four different sections of your photo's properties. By default, the General section is selected. In the General section, the first field is for adding captions (I know, that's pretty self-explanatory), and then the photo's file name appears below that. It's the third field downNoteswhere you add your own personal notes about the photo.

Step Three

If you want to see other info about your photo (for example, which tags have been added to your photos; the date when you imported the photo or when you last printed, emailed, or posted the photo on the Web; or the info embedded into the photo by your digital camera), just click on the various buttons at the top of the palette.
