Change the Size and Appearance of Tag Icons in Photoshop Album

Customize Your Tag & Collection Icons

By , About.com Guide

This tip also applies to the free Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition.

If you go to View > Tag Viewing Options (Tag > Tag Viewing Options in Starter Edition) , you have a choice of three sizes for your tag icons. If you have a lot of tags, you can reduce scrolling by selecting the smallest size, but it's not nearly as fun! When you choose the medium or large tag size, your tags will display a photo from your collection as the icon in the tags pane.

To edit the photo icon, right click the tag name and choose the edit tag command. Then click the edit icon button. Use the arrows or the find button to choose the best photo to represent your tag, then adjust the blinking crop area in the preview to define the area of the photo that will be used as the icon. You can edit the icons used in the Collections pane (Album 2.0 only) in the same way.
