Hello everyone, I am trying to organize my digital media with Media Player
11. It seems to work great with my music files. However, I am having trouble
getting any organization features to work with my photos.

Does anyone know how to get the Tags to work with photos? I've tried right
clicking on Tags and the File menu, but I cant figure out how to create new
tags. Viewing the properties on the photos from within Media Player does not
present tagging options either.

Then I created Tags for all of my photos in the Windows Photo Gallery
program (which worked fine) and then launched Media Player to see if it
would pick up on the tags there... but it doesn't!

I don't think you can, can you?

Windows Media Player is for Music and Video
Windows Photo Gallery and the Pictures folder handle images

You should be able to add meta data information by indivdually selecting
each file and click the Edit Properties link on the Properties bar.

WMP has Photo Gallery features since v10, which are still in v11. They
just happen to be AWFUL since there isn't a way to manage the images
separate to your music/video files. So, for instance, my interesting
photos are completely swamped by thousands of album art files for CDs
and stationery-type gifs etc for web-pages.
