Tagging your photos on your camera solves the problem of not being able to find and organize your photos easily. When you upload pictures from your camera to your computer, they show up with unhelpful file names—usually numbers in a sequence. This won’t help you find that one special photo weeks, months, or even years later. And with all the photos you take, giving each one a unique file name can be time consuming. A quick and easy solution is keyword tagging.

Make digital photos easy to find every time


In-camera keyword tagging is an easy way to make sure you find the photos you’re looking for once you’ve saved them to your computer or other storage device.

  • Tagging works in camera—no PC needed.
  • Select HP cameras offer several preloaded tags, but you can always create your own.
  • Tag one photo or several photos at once.
  • Even select a tag before you begin shooting.
  • Using the Favorites tag, you can create custom slide shows and print only those photos tagged as favorites — even have a photo album of your favorite photos right on the camera.

Organizing tagged photos with HP Photosmart Essential


NOTE: Photos tagged using HP digital cameras or HP Photosmart Essential are also easily recognized in Windows Vista.

1. Once you’ve imported your photos into HP Photosmart Essential, navigate to the Find field at the bottom of your screen. Type in the tag you’re searching for.
2. HP Photosmart Essential will lead you right to it. Your search result will show you when you uploaded your photo and what tags you associated with it.
3. You can also add more tags to your photos with HP Photosmart Essential. Just click the tag icon at the top of your screen and click Other. From there, you can choose from a list of other keywords (you can also add to the list of available keywords.)
