About smart tags
Smart tags enable you to easily find media files (photos and videos) by quality and content. Auto-Analyzer assigns
smart tags to media files automatically. Auto-Analyzer enables:
• Analyzing media files.
• Identifying photographs and scenes based on a quality such as shaky, dark, or bright.
You can find the best media files and eliminate the bad ones. You can use these tags for sorting the assets based on their
quality. To view the media files that have been auto analyzed, select the Smart Tags option in Elements
Organizer
interface.
Important: You cannot create, edit, or delete smart tags. However, you can remove or apply smart tags from the
individual clips.
The content analysis for Auto-Analyzer can be manual or automatic. In the manual mode, you can assign smart tags
to selected assets. In the automatic mode, a background process analyzes and assigns Smart tags to the assets.
Assign smart tags manually
1 In the Media Browser, select the media files to which you want to attach a smart tag. (To select more than one file,
Ctrl-click/Cmd-click the files.)
2 To attach a single tag to a single media file, do one of the following:
• Drag the tag from the Smart Tags panel onto the selected media file.
• Drag the media files onto the tag in the Smart Tags panel.
3 To attach Smart Tags to multiple media files, do one of the following:
• Drag the tag from the Smart Tags panel onto one of the selected media file.
• Select one or more smart tags, and drag the smart tags onto any of the selected media files.
• Select one or more smart tags, and then drag the media files onto one of the selected tags in the Smart Tags panel.
To apply a tag to all the media files in an album, click the album in the Albums panel. Select all the media files in the
Media Browser. Select the smart tag from the Keyword Tags panel, and attach the tag to them.
People recognition
When you use the Find People For Tagging command, Elements Organizer detects and identifies people in photos and
enables tagging them with the person’s name. Tagging makes it easier for you to sort photos efficiently and select the
required photos to create albums quickly. By default, all the new people tags are created in People category of the
Keyword Tags panel. You can reorganize these tags by moving to any other category or subcategory.
Note: By default, Elements Organizer automatically recognizes people. If you would like to run auto analyzer only when
the system is idle, click Edit > Preferences > Media-Analysis options (Windows). In Mac OS, select Adobe Elements 9
Organizer > Preferences > Media-Analysis. Deselect Analyze Photos for People Automatically.
Find people for tagging
1 In the Media Browser, select the photos you want to tag.
2 To start People recognition, do one of the following:
• Select Find > Find People For Tagging.
• Click the Start People Recognition icon in the Keyword Tags panel.
