Adding keyword tags to images

Keyword tags let you assign descriptive, natural-language terms to images. By creating tags such as “family,” “children,” or “birthday,” you can identify specific photos, and then simply click a tag from the list to view thumbnails of photos associated with the tag. You can create and assign as many tags as you like to an image. The Manage workspace provides several ways to create and assign tags.
