As to Item 2, I really need to get them more suitably labelled than they are right now. Having just bought Photoshop Elements here two days ago I was horrified, but not surprised, by how much cheaper it was there.

Yes, I also have thousands. There is a very good suggestion in your post about a drag-and-drop tagging system. I assume that Adobe PhotoShop Elements will work for organization, without my getting the full blown Adobe PhotoShop. I'm definitely going to look into this.

I had to move everything off my computer to a hard drive and that makes it even harder to find everything. I need to find something that will work with a Mac and let me use multiple tags.<br /><br />TerriThe In-Depth Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12960683665617593367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-51469297302079475152012-08-20T09:37:24.801-04:002012-08-20T09:37:24.801-04:00Kelly,

So, does Lightroom have drag and drop tags? I have Adobe Bridge which I like but it does not have the drag and drop feature which I find a real time saver.<br /><br />So I guess the thing I am not clear on is whether Lighroom tags are in the meta information or whether they are a separate drag and drop like in Elements. Can you clarify that for me?<br /><br />As I mentioned to Sara in the comment below I'm just looking for an organizational system because I already have the full-blown PhotoShop for editing. I've been so frustrated trying to find something simple and effective. When I saw Geoff's webinar it seemed like Elements was the solution I was looking for. But, again, I don't really have enough info on other options.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738104230962644360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-67255994729975550902012-08-20T09:30:35.575-04:002012-08-20T09:30:35.575-04:00Sara,

Nice confirmation. Thank you. I use Adobe Lightroom. I does cost a little more but I look at it as investing in an incredible file cabinet. One can tag each photo on the day of import along with with adding a copyright notice to it. Also the location can be added. These notations can be done to large groups all at once. Lightroom can also modify the photo and enhance the over blown lighting or along with many other corrections. Apperature, a Mac only program, also does these same things.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468949443056312380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-41366507837880331322012-08-19T22:22:33.538-04:002012-08-19T22:22:33.538-04:00Very practical advice Marian.

Copyright issues can hamstring one when trying to complete an interesting article or webinar or other presentation, or even to add to a client report.

I'd like to know how it goes for you. I have a folder system so everything "genealogy" either goes in a family name folder or a location folder. Useful photos for the blog, etc but not very important as genealogy records are in a special folder. Personal stuff like my own holiday or vaca pix have their own section. I don't find Picassa that useful for storage because the disk locations of those "folders" are hard to find from outside the Picassa software.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
