Chapter 28. Tagging and Sorting Digital Photographs in iPhoto

The iPhoto program is handy for storing and organizing pictures, but it can also sort pictures. You can tag images with titles, keywords, or ratings so you'll be able to search and find any image stored in your collection of digital photographs.

For example, you can tag a picture of your dog with the keyword Rover so whenever you want to find a picture of Rover, you can just search for the keyword.
