There have been several folks in the Microsoft Answers Forums complaining about not being able to add keywords, or other information using the Photos App in Windows 8\/Windows RT. In fact, you can\u2019t even display this info in the Photos App. The Photos App is a light consumption app and other than being a place to consolidate images from various sources, has no other functionality. If you want to VIEW existing metadata like tags, and have a little more control, there\u2019s a great app called Gallery HD in the Windows Store that works on Windows 8\/RT. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want to edit\/add metadata like tags, author, subject, etc., this can be done from the classic desktop libraries explorer interface. For Windows RT, there are not a lot of other options to manipulate meta data, but for x86 versions of Windows 8\/Pro, there are third party programs you can download and install. <\/p>\n

For anyone looking for a simple built-in way to add this kid of information, this is pretty simple.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. From the classic desktop, navigate to the Library.<\/p>\n

2. Select the View tab<\/p>\n

3. Insure that the details pane is selected (if you don\u2019t see the ribbon and menus, hit the ALT key on your keyboard and enable the items you need).<\/p>\n

\"images1\"<\/p>\n

4. Navigate to your Pictures library<\/p>\n

5. Extra Large Icons and Details Pane should be selected in the View tab (select if needed)<\/p>\n

\"images2\"<\/p>\n

6. Click or Tap an individual image.<\/p>\n

7. The details pane will display all the metadata and allow editing\/adding of tags, author, subject, etc..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
