Overview

TagFlo is a Windows application that helps you organize your collection of photos. Digital photos already have a lot of useful information embedded in them, such as what sort of zoom was used. TagFlo also lets you add information to photos, which helps make them easier to find and sort later.

  • Tags
    One of the easiest way to do this is by adding Tags (some programs call them keywords). Tags act as descriptors of the photo, it could be who or what is in the phot, where it was taken, or even just the mood of the photo. Once you tag the photos in your collection, you are able to pull up all of the photos with the same tags.
    Suppose you have a dog named Fred. After you have gone through your photos and added the Tag “Fred” to the photos with him in them, you can pull those photos up later by selecting the “Fred” Tag.
  • Tag Sets
    Tag Sets make it easy to assign Tags that you use a lot. Tag Sets group together commonly used tags and assign them to the function keys.
  • Photo Sets
    Photos Sets allow for the easy grouping of photos. You can easily add photos into a Photo Set by dragging them into the Photo Set box. Photo Sets can be pulled up later for further work.
  • Smart Sets
    Smart Sets are “smart” Photo Sets that get built dynamically based upon parameters you provide. Smart Sets allow you to combine multiple searches to automatically create a group of photos. These groups get updated as you add more photos or update the information on existing photos.
  • Title, Subject & Comments
    Digital photos have spots in the files for Title, Subject and Comments. These fields allow you to include more information about the photos. This information makes it easier to find photos later and can be pulled up by other photo management programs.
  • MetaData
    All of the photo information used by TagFlo comes standardized fields in the photo files. The big standards here are XMP, EXIF, IPTC. TagFlo uses a Microsoft Library to access these standards. Lots of other Photo Management programs use these standardized fields in the photo files to load and save information about the photos. This means that information you add to photos in TagFlo should also appear in other programs. I will work on creating a chart that list out compatibility with other programs.
