![]() What if your archived photos were all stored on Dropbox, and after passing, no one could see them ever again, because you took your password with you to the grave? Now that you’ve tagged and perhaps done a better job of labeling your photos, please do me a favor and share your passwords with loved ones. ![]() However, there are several more steps involved, and you’re not assured that the photos of Jack, shown above, would necessarily show up in a search for the “Los Angeles” album if un-tagged. Creating AlbumsĪnother way to find photos on your phone is to create albums in Google Photos or the iPhone Photos app. There are a bunch of hoops to jump through to make it happen, and I’ll let Apple explain. SmugMug subscriptions start at $75 yearly.Īpple Photos lets people share and add to galleries too, but you’ll need to have an iPhone. The photo above is what family members see after they click my link. What’s really cool though is that my gallery of Michael could easily be shared with family members, who could in turn add their photos to the gallery with one-click, easy-to-understand upload tools. This is what family members saw when they were sent a link to share photos on SmugMug. For instance, I have too many “Family Photos 2020” and “Hanukah 2012” galleries that give me a clue but aren’t very specific. Here you need to make sure you label galleries really well. It suggests you use keywords instead of tags. I gathered as many important photos this week I could find of Michael, and created a web gallery on my SmugMug site, which I subscribe to, as both a way to present my photos without an algorithm that follows me everywhere and to archive my backup. Now they’re tagged.įor what it’s worth, Amazon automatically tags photos for its Photos app (unlimited, free photo storage for Prime members) but its search is pretty weak. In the iPhone Camera app, click the info button under the photo, and see the little circle with the untagged face. Click on it, and “Tag with Name” as directed. You’ll see a little circle at the bottom of the image with a face in it. ![]() When you find a face that isn’t tagged, click on the Info tab (the one next to the trash can) at the bottom of the screen and look at the photo again. To add new tags, just open the Library and scroll through your library. In the Photos app, click Albums and scroll down for People & Places to see who already is tagged. Click an un-tagged face, and Google directs you to “Add a Name.” Do so, and he or she is now duly tagged, and easier to find from now on. For the folks outside your circle, you’ll have to do a little work and tag them yourself. Hit the search bar and a bunch of faces will show up, with Google automatically grouping them from your photos. Google Photosįirst, let’s look at tagging in Google Photos. Luckily, the tagging tools on both the iPhone and Android phones are pretty simple. One of the hardest things about being an archivist is finding stuff. What Google Photos looks like before you tag faces. One of the best tools for finding stuff is to either label each photo with a descriptive file name (try that 22,000 times!) or take 30 minutes to tag them for face recognition, which is easy to do if you have an iPhone or Android mobile phone.
