Copy all tags from one photo to another
If you select two photos and tag them at the same time in Windows Photo Gallery, great! But if you find a similar photo later, you may want a way to copy all tags from one photo to another. After a long and fruitless search online, I finally found a way.
In Windows Photo Gallery, Folder view:
1. Right click a photo icon and select "Properties"
2. Click on the "Details" tab.
3. Across from tab (and right below "Values") hover or click until you see "add a tag." (Oddly, if the photo has no tags, the space is totally blank. No box appears until you hover or click).
4. When the box appears, click to place your cursor, then right click to "select all."
5. "Copy" and close the box.
6. Follow the same path to get to the next photo and "paste" the tags into its box.
Maybe this is a no-brainer, but it sure has been helpful to me in tagging similar photos without re-entering each descriptive tag manually. If anyone has a simpler way, even in another program, please let me know. (I tried it in Windows photo viewer' properties pane, but it kept saying "file error")
Tagging 7,000+ photos & need all the help I can get!
