Perhaps you will see an existing Tag hierarchy in your digiKam that was built based on Tags that were found in the images that you already have (those tags may come from your relative, friend or even some software and you are free to use those tags as an example or build your own system). Working with Tags can be as simple as marking the location, who is in the picture and giving 4-5 stars to really nice pictures. Plus remember that you already have photo date, folder name where the photos are located (which is hopefully meaningful) and possibly even geographical coordinates embedded in your image files even before you start adding any tags. All of this needs to be worth it – add data that you will realistically want to search and filter your collection on. In addition, you can mark specific regions on the picture as “Face tags”, add descriptive text, rating from 1 to 5 stars and some more metadata types. Tags in your photo collection work the same as #hashtags on the Internet – they help you to find all your images that belong to the same category that you provided: locations, names of people, events (birthday, national day…) or anything that is meaningful to you (for example pictures that contain Lego your 2nd car sunsets etc.). 4.3 ”The batch-click way” method for quicker taggingĭigiKam is an excellent tool to enrich a private photo collection by use of Tags and other metadata that can be written right inside the image files so the information you add follows the image file and will not get lost if you change computers or software (alternatively digiKam can save metadata in "sidecar" helper files next to your videos or read-only image files).3.7 Author, copyrights and other Metadata.3.3 Comments, Captions Description and Title.1 What is Tagging and why do you want it.
