Write keyword tag information into your files
When you e-mail or export tagged JPEG, TIFF, or PSD files from Elements
Organizer, tag information is automatically
included as an IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) keyword in these output files so that when the
recipient imports the media file and is prompted to import the associated tags, the tags are attached in their version of
Elements
Organizer.
If you want to e-mail or share a media file without using the Elements
Organizer e-mail or export features, you can
manually write the tag information into the IPTC Keyword section in the header of the file.
❖
In the Media Browser, select one or more files and choose File
> Write Keyword Tag And Properties Info To Photo.
Import and export keyword tags
Importing and exporting keyword tags can help you share media files with others of similar interests. For example,
suppose you have created a set of keyword tags for media files related to your hobby. If you save your tag set, your
friends with the same hobby can import those tags into their Keyword Tags panel and apply them to their own media
files. Alternately, you can import your friends’ keyword tags and apply them to your own media files. You and your
friends could then use keywords you have in common to search for media files related to the hobby you share.

Export keyword tags
You can save your current set of keyword tags, including the entire hierarchy of categories and subcategories in your
Keyword Tags panel and the tag icons, so that you can share it with someone else. The exported tags file is saved as an
XML (Extensible Markup Language) file.
