I use the keyword painter to put apply several keywords to a picture.

My question is:

If I have to display a full-screen shot of a photo, can I use the keyword
painter at the same time?
Some photos are so detailed that the thumbnails are too small to see all the
people.

I need the "keyword painter" to float above the full-screen display.

Please help, Frank

=======================================

When you are using the Library Viewer to
display an image full screen...if can left click
the "Properties" button on your tool bar...on
the General tab...you will find an option to:
"Click here to assign keywords to this picture"

Also try the following to enlarge your thumbnails:

Go to...View / Tiles...

Left click / Drag the slider in the upper right of your
screen all the way to the right.

Thank you, this works fine.

But it is a little slow. I have to use 3 or 4 mouse clicks to service each
photo, and so I ask:

1/ Are there any keystrokes to bring up the 'properties' screen?
2/ Are there any macros available to bring up the 'keyword painter'?
3/Is there any 3rd-party software to help?

So far I have 1800 photos on the computer and the number is increasing fast.

I have enlarged the thumnails to the maximum, but they are still too small
for detailed phiotos.

Regards, Frank

None that I'm aware of.

In that case...you might want to back up your database.

"How to find the Database for Digital Image Library 9"

If you have lots of images cataloged, it would be a
good idea to backup the "Pictures.pod" file on a CD...

Each user's database is located in their Application
Data directory (typically C:\Documents and Settings\
<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\POD). The
database is named Pictures.pod by default (though
if a database corruption has occurred, then we will
create new files with incremented names in that same
location).

The user's Application Data directory is a hidden
directory, so users will have to turn on "show hidden
files" in order to see the directory in Explorer. The
actual location of the directory is also stored by the
system in the %APPDATA% environment variable,
so you can get to the folder by going to Start/Run and
typing:

"%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Pod" (without the quotes)

Sorry Frank...that's the best I can offer.

There is one possibility...if you go to Display
Properties...what is your screen size set on?
Decreasing that would give you larger thumbs
