Then I found out I could do it with Bridge too, and also Lightroom, in an easier, faster way too. Happy with that for now :) Ashley: Sure is a long, tedious process! Especially those years, as I have much more digital/digitized pics there. I definitely think it's worth it, as I already love being able to find/show/share photos by tag on Flickr (locally I'm starting to appreciate it too). Ryan: Ah, no Mac here, so I'll do with LR or Bridge for now then. Face recognition would be very welcome in those apps too (or on Flickr, but that probably won't potentially sync back to the local files, while I imagine Picasa will at some point). Bill:

It’s a long, tedious process, isn’t it?

A more automated tagging system is definitely a step in the right direction. I think we’ll see a lot more of this automation coming soon.

I don't blame you on not wanting to do it twice, that's why I use it for retaining Fotki tags. :) Not sure if this helps, but there’s an ACDSee forum topic on what I think you’re referring to here – [forums.acdsystems.com]

It states:

These are the only keywords Flickr understands for their tags (and I prefer not to do the work twice :P).

In total, I have about 14k photos tagged. Besides all of the advanced features ACDSee has, it offers a few most other photo management apps don't, the ability to do both AND and OR searches, as well as the ability to write your tags to EXIF info or vice versa. It'll let you map what "fields" they go into. I use that so my uploaded photos are tagged when going to Fotki. It'll also let you export all of your tagging work to a standard XML file which should make it easier to switch photo apps if you choose to do so at a later date. I use ACDSee for my tagging needs.
