Tagging photos can be every bit and more complicated than music. I can't really recommend a perfect software as free ones can often be limited and aren't very user friendly and others can be quite pricy.
The best bet is to probably test out Picasa by Google first. My mom uses it, but I am not sure it actually saves the tags to files (at least not by default). FastStone Image viewer can work, but I am not sure of its user friendliness. If you have any Adobe products (Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom), you can tag as well. Photoshop and Elements both use the Bridge software. Lightroom will tag on its own. As far as batch processing goes, I believe most programs will do it. But, it also requires the photos to be somewhat organized to begin with. Batch processing is great if you can truly do things in batch. 10 years ago, I had to tag about 5,000 images (when I decided I needed the organization). Occasionally, batching paid off, especially for event type tags. It helps quite a bit if your images are in folders in an organized fashion. I suggest starting with a limited number of images as you test things out and make sure they interact as you expect with your device. There seem to be multiple ways to tag files and not all software will handle all tag formats. Google some info outside these forums... Look for photography forums for guidance. It can get overwhelming very easily, too, so take your time to do it right once. -- emalvick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91918 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
