Right-click/control-click a subcategory in the Keyword Tags panel, and choose Create new subcategory. The subcategory cannot have

2. Right click and choose Delete, and then click OK to confirm the deletion.

Remove keyword tags from photos

Depending on the view in the Media view, do one of the following:

To remove a keyword tag from one photo in thumbnail view, right-click/control-click the media file and choose Remove Keyword Tag >

[tag name].

To remove a keyword tag from one photo in larger views, right-click/control-click a category icon under the media file and choose

Remove Keyword Tag.

Depending on your view, you can hold the pointer over the category icon to display a list of keyword tags attached to the media file.

To remove a keyword tag from multiple media files in any view, Ctrl-click/Cmd-click to select the media files. Then right-click/control-click

one of the selected media files and choose Remove Keyword Tag from Selected Items> [tag name].

Another way to remove a keyword tag from a photo is select the photo in Media view. The keyword tags appear in the Image Tags panel.

Right-click on a tag and select Remove.

Write keyword tag information into your files

When you e-mail or export tagged JPEG, TIFF, or PSD files from Elements Organizer, tag information is automatically included as an IPTC

(International Press Telecommunications Council) keyword in these output files so that when the recipient imports the media file and is prompted to

import the associated tags, the tags are attached in their version of Elements Organizer.

If you want to e-mail or share a media file without using the Elements Organizer e-mail or export features, you can manually write the tag

information into the IPTC Keyword section in the header of the file.

In the Media view, select one or more files and choose File > Save Metadata to Files.

It also writes the people/places/event tags in addition to the keyword tags to the file.

Import and export keyword tags

Importing and exporting keyword tags can help you share media files with others of similar interests. For example, suppose that you have created

a set of keyword tags for media files related to your hobby. If you save your tag set, your friends with the same hobby can import those tags into

their Keyword Tags panel and apply them to their own media files. Alternately, you can import your friends’ keyword tags and apply them to your

own media files. You and your friends could then use keywords you have in common to search for media files related to the hobby you share.

You can save your current set of keyword tags, including the entire hierarchy of categories and subcategories in your Keyword Tags panel and the

tag icons, so that you can share it with someone else. The exported tags file is saved as an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file.

Exporting tags does not export the photos associated with the tags.
