Attach keyword tags to media files
Once you have created a keyword tag, you can attach it to media files associated with the tag. You can attach multiple
keyword tags to a media file. If you attach three keywords tags to a media file, you can see all the keyword tags on that
media file. If you attach more than three keyword tags, keyword tag icon
is displayed. The first time you attach a
tag to a media file, that photo becomes the icon for that tag. If you drag multiple media files to a keyword tag, the first
media file you selected becomes the icon for that tag.
1 In the Media Browser, select the media files to which you want to attach the tag. (To select more than one photo,
Ctrl-click/Cmd-click the media files.)
