Tech Tuesday: Easy Photo Tagging “Facebook Style”

Have you ever wanted to tag your genealogy or family photos “Facebook style” to identify people in a group photo? Or maybe you just wanted to add balloon captions to your son’s prom picture. A recent listener of The Genealogy Guys podcast asked about software with this feature, and reminded me that tagging was a pretty fun summer activity.

 

Your dates for the new millennium: Prom 2000.

While not quite “Facebook style,” FotoTagger is a nifty little tool that features labels and balloon-style captions. This free software program allows you to add tags and captions, import/export tags, and email, save, or blog your tagged photos.

Taggers can define a more “Facebook style” look with mouse-over labels using the Passage Express multimedia presentation software. This product builds “projects” and allows the face labels as part of images used in the projects.
