Best way to tag in iPhoto + Smugmug

volcs0

I want to get better about tagging my photos. But I understand that some of the tagging / keywording in iPhoto is not genuine IPTC tagging. That is, I want my tags to stay with the photos, whether or not I say with iPhoto in years to come - and especially as I transfer the pictures to Smugmug.

What is the most extensible way + easiest way to tag batches of photos, starting hopefully from iPhoto?

Thanks.

Hi,

This help page explains keywording. You can add keywords to your photos and, when you upload them, the keywords will be uploaded as well.

If you use the MacDaddy uploader in the iPhoto mode, it will also keep your iPhoto captions and keywords.

Alternatively, you could also give the iPhoto export plugin a try. You can find it on our tools page.
