Keyword tags are personalized keywords, such as “Dad” or “Florida,” that you attach to photos, PDFs, and photo 
projects so that you can easily organize and find them. When you use keyword tags, there’s no need to manually 
organize your photos in subject-specific folders or rename files with content-specific names. Instead, you simply attach 
one or more keyword tags to each photo and then retrieve the photos you want by selecting one or more keyword tags. 
To apply keywords, use Adobe Bridge.

Stacking files lets you put files together under a single thumbnail. To stack files, use the Stacks menu in Adobe Bridge.
