Tag Updater is a small command-line tool to use with Deep Zoom Composer and a Silverlight 2.0 viewer. It reads the image metadata (Title, Keywords(tags), Description, Rating) from your JPG photos and makes it viewable in a Silverlight 2.0 viewer.

It is BASED ON Kirupa's Tag Sample and a couple of blog posts about building on the tag sample to enable mulitple tags, and adding a Deep Zoom 'tag cloud' that doesn't require WebClient/permissions.

It only works if you:

• Add metadata to your JPG images before you use Deep Zoom Composer, using a program like iTag.
• Create a Deep Zoom Collection using the latest version of Deep Zoom Composer.
• FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS on how to use Tag Updater ».
