E.g., like so: http://sundman.iki.fi/shotwell-tags.png
After selecting both files and invoking "modify tags" the 3 tags that 
the selected pictures have are shown in the (scrollable) list of 
existing tags. The first tag, "bar", is checked (because all selected 
pictures have that tag) and the other two tags had their checkboxes in 
the indeterminate state (because some of the selected pictures have the 
tag and some don't). After that I clicked the "baz" checkbox once to 
make it selected (which would cause all selected files to get that tag) 
and a second time to make it unselected (which will cause all selected 
files to not have that tag). So, if I now were to press the OK button 
the "baz" tag would be removed from the right picture and the other tags 
would remain as they are.

It feels a bit silly to explain this in such detail, since there are 
thousands upon thousands of programs that work like this, and I really 
can't believe there are developers that haven't used this functionality 
many, many times already. Oh, well, there you go anyway. :-)

Regards,
Marcus
