SharePoint 2010 - Basics

How to Manage Image Metadata

Another powerful, new SharePoint 2010 feature is metadata. Since not all people search for data in the same way, this feature will ultimately improve the user experience.
You can edit the metadata form an image by viewing the image properties and editing them.

  7. Fill out the desired fields on the image metadata form. Entering in keywords here is important if you want your image to be searchable. Images by default have no text and without keywords they will not show up in search results.
