How to tag your pictures

You think tagging is just too much work? Please read my post "5 reasons why you should start tagging your images now"

What to tag:

• names of persons 
• place
• prominent colors and shapes
• everything else you can think of 

A good software for tagging pictures

• gives you an easy way of tagging multiple pictures at once
• lets you organize your tags in categories
• stores the tags inside the picture, not in an external database (this way the tags follow the picture when you copy it)

I personally use Adobe Bridge, and I'm very pleased with it.
