Web Gallery Captions get lost

Love web gallery - spend time typing in all the captions to inform family and friends, wait for the upload, watch all the "pending" signs disappear, and then see the captions disappear once it's on the Gallery site.
Any ideas?
What am I doing wrong?
Do I need to speak to my machine nicely?
Please help - thanks.

Julian:
Others have had that problem also. A work around is to use this script to write the comments to the Title. The title is displayed in the web galleries. When you want the file names back just use the "Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name" menu option.
NOTE: Before compiling the script in Script Editor remove the one occurrence of the character Å in the script.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Web Gallery captioning

I'm putting together a web gallery.
When I try and select from the Metadata Set drop down menu, Caption and Keywords, I get the Name, Caption and Keyword.
Is this a bug? or am i doing something stupid. I Only want the caption and keyword to appear.
Is there a work around, is it is a bug
Thanks

When published to a web gallery that information is not added to the file but to the slideshow files. The only time that info is written to the files is upon export with the checkbox selected to add Title and Keywords and Comments.
Even if the metadata is written to the files at the time they are imported into iPhoto, the files that get uploaded to the iDisk have that metadata stripped out of the file.

How to add Web Gallery captions in Bridge CS5

I am creating a photo album (web gallery) in Bridge CS5 but there doesn't seem to be a way to add captions to the photos. I don't want the File Names to appear, I want to be able to choose several photos to have captions which I will type in. Is there a way to do this? The web gallery template I am using is Left Filmstrip.
Thanks!

Will the Airtight template let you put in a separate caption for EACH photo, or just one caption that goes on every single slide?
What third party software would let me add captions...I need something fairly easy to use.
Thanks!

Web Gallery Captions

Using the Bridge CS4, in Windows XP,
what is the simplest and fastest way to include a caption or a title or the filename for each of the pictures of a web gallery when it is displayed on the browser?
Thanks

Unless you are able to modify the Code, do what I did and go for one of the many free gallery generators which are much more adaptable than Adobe's rather limited options.
I use Web Album Generator – http://www.ornj.net/webalbum/

Uploading photos through web gallery not working.

People
When people access my web galleries and use the upload feature and it accepts the uploaded files, but, the photos don't appear in the web gallery or get synched to my iPhoto. However, using the upload feature through email does work!
Any ideas on that?
Also, once synched with web galleries on my iPhoto, how come the photos don't automatically appear in the event that the person uploaded the photo to in the fist place? The photos appear in the event under Web Gallery on iPhoto but not the actual event. Does that make sense?
Cheers
Al

Same prob here (EU).
Looks like uploading through the web interface (while browsing the web gallery) doesn't work.
E-mailing a picture works a treat, though...
Tried also using firefox (I'm on a MBP with all the latest software versions) but no luck!
I've looked also at the contents of my iDisk (it had to be in the loop!) and indeed found that the web gallery is under <.macmember_name>/Web/Sites/gallery/<id> and every picture that's in the gallery has its own folder named after the picture name containing 5 files: *large.jpg, medium.jpg, web.jpg, square.jpg and reflect-medium.jpg* (their meaning is quite obvious...)
The pictures I sent through the web interface didn't produce results in my iDisk whatsoever, while the one I sent using mail had this new folder-files created in the right way...
I think this upload feature is seriously flawed...

Others subscribing to my Web Gallery

I would like to publish an album in my Web Gallery that can only be accessed by the URL that I give out and not via my Web Gallery home page. I can do this by selecting to "hide album on my Web Gallery page" in the advanced settings. I also want this to be accessible by "everyone" so that I don't have to put an ID and Password on it (by "everyone, I mean those that have the URL address for this specific album).
My question is: If I do this for an album, would people who subscribe to my Web Gallery also get access to this album (since it is viewable by "everyone") or would they need to know the exact URL?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you publish a gallery as you indicated, hidden, visitors to your public web gallery will not see it and have access to it unless they are given the URL by you. Conversely, visitors to the hidden gallery will not have access to the other galleries from that hidden gallery.

Bridge Web Gallery Output Problems

I have just set up a new MacPro.
I have downloaded and Activitated Bridge & Photoshop CC
However I can't create a web gallery, I get two error messages...
When I try to save a Web Gallery I get "save location does not exist"
If I try to preview in browser I get "Target folder cannot be created"
If I try to create a PDF I get "there is insufficient disc space to complete this operation"
However if I sign in on my old MacPro everything works as normal.
Any help anyone?
Peter

Update...
After searching the internet I have found a bizarre solution.
I had done a clean install on my new MacPro and downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge CC (wanted a clean new machine)
On my old MacPro I had Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge CC plus Photoshop CC
I just copied Photoshop CC from old machine - opened it - closed it - and NOW Bridge CC is creating web galleries and PDFs
Please Adobe do something about this!

Web Gallery Slide Shows: Music and Captions an option?

The title sums up the question. Can web gallery slide shows (on my .Mac account) be made to look and sound like the slide shows i'm running in iphoto - with captions and audio?

Mark:
You can get the captions to be displayed in the web gallery by running this script to move the description to the title field before you publish the gallery. After the gallery is published you can change the title back to the file name with the Photos->Batch Change menu option.
Have you considered using iWeb to create a photo page/slideshow and add the music to it. Here's a test page of such a setup. Be sure to read all of the comments on the linked page as there's a minor error noted in the script that is easy to correct.

How do I type captions to the photos my friends send to my web gallery ?

Web gallery is great...yet can I add captions like I did with my own photos?

Once you refresh your gallery in iPhoto and get the externally added photos to show, just change the title in the web galley and republish. The online photo will be changed to what you entered in iPhoto.

Captioning and Keywords NOT retained on download of photos from Web Gallery

I noticed that the CAPTIONING information for photos on a web gallery ARE viewable while on the web gallery page(clicking on info), but are NOT included if you choose to download the photo. Not seen in the photo on download by viewing EXIF info, or "get info" from the Finder, nor available if I reimported the downloaded photo back into iPhoto 8.
Am I missing something regarding the way to store information. I had uploaded a lot of photos with important information for family members downloading embedded in the captioning??
BTW, the keywords ALSO were not downloaded or retained.

How do I get my bridge web gallery to actually work in my photoshop website

Hi
Can anyone explain to me in simple english (please - as I'm just a learner) how I get my web gallery (created in bridge) to work with my photoshop website.
This is what I have done so far:-
(1) I've created my root folder called 'test'. It has 3 subfolders called:-
- 'page1' (which is my homepage created as said below)
- 'page2-gallery' (where I want my bridge web gallery to be)
- 'page3-other' (for another page link - not important here).
(2) I have also created a simple website in photoshop (my homepage said above), using the slice tool and have saved it by saveforweb. So I now have my html website file and which works when tested online. One of the slice segments is for my 'gallery' icon on the homepage which, when clicked, should go directly to my bridge web gallery created.
(3) I have also created a web gallery in bridge and I saved it applying the 'savelocation' as being in page2 of my root folder. But when I checked it online the 'gallery' icon on my homepage does nothing. I then tried saving the gallery to my root folder instead (i.e. not in the page2 of my root folder) but with zero results.
(4) I've then dragged the root folder's html file (my website's homepage) into dreamweaver, clicked the 'gallery' icon and tried to apply the page2 of my root folder file to the properties inspector's link box (bottom of dreamweaver workspace) - but this wouldn't work either.
I know that I must be close to solving this riddle and so can anyone help me please.

Can't get "Send to web gallery" option to work on the iPhone.

I have been trying to get the "Send to web gallery button" to work on my iPhone for a few weeks now. I managed to get it to work once. I was directed to delete the gallery on iPhoto ’08 and then recreate it and make sure my iPhone was not connected to wifi and wait 1 hour, it worked once… Then never again.
I have an ongoing case open with Apple Care but there does not seem to be any definitive answer on how to get the option to work properly. One representative says that it should word fine, the other says that that feature was disabled in the last patch, (I had it working once under the current iPhone version 1.0.2 so I knew he was misinformed) I followed this Apple document and am still unable to get the feature to work: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306272
The Apple Care representative told me that the official Apple doc listed above was incorrect and that there was a better way to get the gallery to work and directed me to a Mac World Mac 911 article to resolve the issue http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2007/08/iphonetowebgallery/index.php
I insisted that this was a work around and that the actual “send to web gallery” button should display on the iPhone the Apple Care representative told me that I was incorrect and that the Mac 911 article was the only way to get the option to work.
I actually met and spoke with the author Christopher Breen last weekend, and he agreed that this was a “work around” and that the "send to web gallery option on the iPhone should work. All I had to do was insure that I had my dot Mac account set up on the iPhone, iPhoto ’08 installed, a web gallery created in iPhoto and the option “Allow photo uploading by email” checked and published and all should be good in the world. Unfortunately, I just can’t seem to get it to work?
I am not trying to “bash” Apple I would just like to get this option to work properly. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to get this option to work?

It seems to be an ongoing issue the last couple of days..there's a few posts already discussing it in the forum. I found that if I sent the photos from my verizon acct on the iphone, it uploaded to the gallery fine..so it's a .mac account problem i think. Try it through another acct and I don't think you'll have a problem. It had always worked fine for me sending from my mac account until this weekend.

How to get rid of the large slideshow images in Web gallery (CS4)

Here is the deal.
I've created a flash web gallery/ But the new CS4 has the option for slideshow with this flash stuff. CS3 use to create thumbnail and large images folders. The new one creates 3 folders: 1. thumbnails, 2, medium images, 3 large images (for the slideshow). That's great, until I go to upload process. I have pretty limited space. So I'm ready to get rid of the slideshow option, but there's no such option in gallery creating process. The only solution I have in mind is to redirect slideshow images to the medium size folder. But thats pretty annoying process during the creation of each gallery.
So does anyone has an idea how to skip the slideshow creation or another method to skip creating 3 folders, all with the same images?

How to add title/caption to each image in Bridge web gallery

Hi,
I am creating a web gallery within Bridge and I want to add a title and caption to each image in my web gallery. How do I do that? The only thing I see is the Site Info. section and that adds a title and caption to the entire web gallery (including each image) and I want different titles and captions for each image. There must be a simple way to do this I just haven't figured it out yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
ashmic19

Thanks Curt Y for your help. The thing is I have to use only Bridge. I looked up this problem on http://www.experts-exchange.com/ and they said it was not possible to add titles and captions for individual images (slides) in a web gallery in Bridge. They seemed to imply that this was overlooked. So I input what I could based on what was provided by Bridge and turned it in. Thanks to all who viewed and replied to this post. I appreciate it.

Im trying to publish a web gallery to BC, my settings seem correct but I'm still getting an error: FTP transfer failed ' unknown error'. Techs on BC, say FTP working fine. Please help!

Hey peeps,
Im trying to publish a web gallery to be hosted on BC. Despite having what seem the correct settings im getting an error: FTP transfer failed ' unknown message'. Have checked with techs on BC. They say FTP working fine that end.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried connecting to another FTP server in Lightroom?
For example, if you get a free Flickr account, can you login to it and upload a file to it?
If you can't upload to any server, then you have a general FTP-in-Lr problem, but if problem is only with BC then, well, it's time to start scrutinizing the BC settings..
PS - All my FTP'ing plugins have an enhanced FTP settings test feature designed to help you debug FTP settings, so another option is to download one of them, for example:
robcole.com - FTPAggregator
and experiment with settings tester:
To get here, you have to click 'View / Edit Additional Settings' (in plugin manager), then choose 'New' or 'Edit' from 'Sync Pairs' drop-down menu.
If test is unsuccessful, enable verbose logging (top section of plugin manager), and review the log file after test, or send to me.
If you have a problem running plugin, please contact me directly:
