 ====== Descriptors ======
-Descriptors are used to store your descriptive information in different categories.  Descriptors can be printed below their images, included in emails, or added to web galleries.  They also help the search engine in grouping images that match a common theme.  Additionally, they can be used for sorting.

-Once you load an image into the Image Archive the descriptors “Image Name,” “Description,” and “File Date and Time” will display below the thumbnail, some will already filled in with information from your camera.
-“Image Name” defaults to the file name of the imported picture.  The same information is also stored in the descriptor “File Name.”  Often, the file name is automatically generated by digital cameras or scanners is rather cryptic (for example “DCF0033”), which makes it entirely unsuitable as an image title in web galleries, emails, or prints.  Therefore, you should immediately give each picture a meaningful image name.  You may even give similar images the same name – there is no need to add numbers in sequence.
+===== Forms =====
-The descriptor “Description” is left empty, inviting you to enter your own text.  The “File Date and Time” are carried over from the creation date of the original file.
-===== Adding or Editing Descriptor Content =====
+For the quick application of frequently-used descriptors of your own choosing, you can create a Form. To create your personalized form, click the “Create Form” button in the button bar of the Descriptors window.
+Type in a name for your form and click “OK”.  The new name will appear in the Form list.
+The window “Edit Form" opens. By selecting descriptors in the left panel and clicking the right-arrow button in the center, you can put together a customized list of descriptors.
+You can always edit your Form by clicking on the “Edit Form” button located in the button bar of the Descriptors window. To remove a descriptor from your list, select it and use the left-arrow button.
-To add or edit text, simply click on the specific Descriptor Line below the image and a window “Descriptors” will open.  Alternatively, you can right click on the thumbnail picture and choose “Descriptors” from the context menu to open the Descriptors window.
