iPhoto | Keywords

iPhoto icon

In Tagging iPhoto, Melvin Rivera provides a quick explanation of how to use keywords in iPhoto:

"Most people I know don’t know that iPhoto can be tagged with keywords. Or if they do they don’t know how to use them. They’re not to blame, iPhoto has always had an awkward implementation of keywords. iPhoto 06 improves on keywords but they are still confusing to most users I know. So here’s a quick tutorial on setting up and managing keywords in iPhoto. This tutorial uses iPhoto 06, but it can be implemented in earlier versions that support keywords."

It's a good thing that I keep checking this site. As it happens I was at a meeting last night where iPhoto was discussed but they didn't touch on that. My computer doesn't want to do that right now but I'll check back later.

I am a new switcher to the Mac. iPhoto '06 has some tremendous features including this keyword tagging ability. I imported my HUGE library from my firewire drive, 23,000 jpegs in all. I now have the task of tagging them for easy searching and smart folders. Thanks for the link to the site. However, the app. for keyword tagging apparently that assists iPhoto is only power pc. I'll be waiting to see if the developer comes out with a patch or new release for the Universal binary. Thanks for a great site!
