I am using adobe elements organizer 12- How do I tag or sort a large number of portrait photos so it is searchable by first and last name of subject?  do i make separate tags for first and last names? is there a better way of doing this?

thank you!

Creating separate tags for first and last name, possibly also by birth name and nickname is the best solution in my opinion. Finally, you create less different keywords, since people share first and last names.

You can also enter the full name in a caption and use the advanced search menu for captions 'containing' a text string. That works even if the caption contains several names for several persons in the picture.
