00:00:06,439 --> 00:00:08,408
As your photo library grows

3
00:00:08,408 --> 00:00:10,377
there are several ways you can mark your photos

4
00:00:10,377 --> 00:00:13,413
to make them easier to organize, find and use:

5
00:00:13,413 --> 00:00:16,483
Keywords, Ratings and Flags.

6
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:21,454
A Keyword is like a note that you add
to a specific photo.

7
00:00:22,155 --> 00:00:24,057
For example you can tag photos

8
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:26,626
with the keyword like birthday or vacation

9
00:00:26,626 --> 00:00:30,663
and later instantly find all the photos
with those keywords.

10
00:00:30,663 --> 00:00:33,733
To start choose "View",

11
00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:36,236
"Keywords".

12
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:38,371
The keywords associated with each photo

13
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:41,141
will appear below the photos title.

14
00:00:41,141 --> 00:00:42,809
If you want add keywords

15
00:00:42,809 --> 00:00:44,778
just move your pointer under a photo

16
00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:48,114
click the text and typing your keyword.

17
00:00:48,114 --> 00:00:50,316
As you type, iPhoto shows you

18
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:52,819
other key words that begin with those letters

19
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:55,488
so if you already added
a keyword to another photo

20
00:00:55,522 --> 00:00:57,924
you can simply select it from the list.

21
00:00:57,924 --> 00:00:59,859
Add as many keywords as you like

22
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:02,495
pressing return after each one.

23
00:01:02,495 --> 00:01:06,966
To rename a keyword, double click to select it

24
00:01:06,966 --> 00:01:10,770
and then type your new name.

25
00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:15,842
To delete a keyword, select it
and press the delete key.

26
00:01:17,477 --> 00:01:19,646
You can speed up the process
of adding keywords

27
00:01:19,646 --> 00:01:22,482
by adding them to several photos at once.

28
00:01:22,482 --> 00:01:24,217
Choose "Window",

29
00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:25,885

00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:46,005
an animation appears to let you know

38
00:01:46,005 --> 00:01:48,741
that the keyword is being removed.

39
00:01:48,741 --> 00:01:53,346
It's a snap to find photos by keyword
anywhere in your library.

40
00:01:53,346 --> 00:01:56,149

Just click the dots and drag

51
00:02:28,681 --> 00:02:31,851
to assign the number of stars that you want.
