FastPhotoTagger Screenshots

The Quick Start in the User Guide is essential for getting FastPhotoTagger up and running. After that there are features and settings to get tagging done your way.

Metadata

Choose your favorite metadata tags to appear on the main window and under thumbnails. Customize the screen prompt and text entry size.
Any tags recognized by ExifTool may be used.

View all the metadata in an image file. Print customized reports.

Compare the metadata in several image files. Edit like a spreadsheet.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations put the "Fast" in FastPhotoTagger. Define abbreviations for frequently used values such as names, places, and keyword lists.
With carefully chosen abbreviations you can enter long metadata values with only a few keystrokes in a few seconds.

Tag at lightning speed using the Fast Tagger.
The Fast Tagger is the fastest way to change a single metadata field for a set of images.

The "Use Suggestions" checkbox enables/disables display of suggestions.
The "Use Abbreviations" checkbox enables/disables the expansion of abbreviations.
When entered as metadata, abbreviations must be surrounded by white space to be recognized.
For example, if "a", "b", and "c" are three abbreviations then "a b c" may expand to "apple banana cherry", but "abc" will not be expanded.

Keyword Lists

Don't like to type? Put your keywords into a text file and just check the boxes.

You can even build your keyword list interactively while you tag.

Slideshows

Create custom slideshows with metadata captions for viewing inside or outside of FastPhotoTagger.

Export a slideshow to the file system: each slide becomes a jpeg file.

View an exported slideshow with any image handling program.

Folder Navigation

You can work with the images in one folder at a time or you can open several folders at one time.
To open a new folder or set of folders, click the "Open Image Folder" button.
The "Current Folder" pull down menu provides quick access to the 10 most recent folders.
The folder navigation buttons provide access to the next or previous (alphabetical) folder, or one level up or down in the folder hierarchy.

Larger Image View

You can view larger images during tagging by typing CTRL-O.
This gives you a more detailed view of your image while you change multiple tags.
Tab from the thumbnail to the metadata panel. Then Tab from each metadata field to the next.
This is the fastest way to change multiple metadata tags for a set of images.
(The Fast Tagger is the fastest way to change a single metadata field for a set of images.)
