Question

Adding Place Tags without using the map

  • November 6, 2017

I have a long history of using Photoshop Elements (now using Vn 15) and I have many many

place tags set up using earlier versions.

Every time I try to add a place tag in Vn 15, I get presented with a world map.

Often, the place I want to tag is not included on the map.

How can I go back to the old system of adding a place tag without being restricted to what is on

the map?

getting pretty frustrated!

Thanks for any help

Mike

    Mike,

    Create your own 'My Places' category in the normal media tags like you did before.

    You can create your own tags and your own sub-categories hierarchy.

    Thanks very much for the reply Michel.

    Sounds like just what I'm looking for, but I don't see where I can do this.

    All of my previously created places are listed alphabetically in the Places Tags.

    Can I just add new places in the same place where my old tags are,

    or do I need to create some new place for them?

    Thanks for your help

    Yes, you create a new category under the 'Keywords' section (downpointing triangle sign on the right of the word 'Keywords'), you choose to create a category from the drop-down menu, like 'My Places'. I have personal categories like 'animals', 'food', 'scans'...
