"Add a description" box in iPhoto'11

In my old version of iPhoto '08, I was able to adjust the size of the photo information dialogue box to type and view a description of a photo. We were able to write paragraphs in the photo information "description" area. In the new version of iPhoto ' 11, I can not enlarge the "Add a description" more than the two lines that are visible. Is there a way to enlarge the "Add a description" so that I can see more than two lines?

Add event-description-file to iphoto

Hi everyone
Is there a way to add a Text-Document (e.g. OpenOffice oder even Textedit) to an event in iPhoto 8 (or perhaps in 9). I know it's possible to add one to aperture, but I intended to continue to use iPhoto.
The content of the Text-Doc would be a description of the event (could be rather long depending of the event.)
When I try to drag&drop it I get: Unreadable Files. The following file could not be imported. (This file is in an unrecognized format.)
I thought about convert it to jpg, but the problem would come when I want to edit it.
Thanks for the help.

You can do a print and in the bottom left open the PDF menu and select save PDF to iPhoto
You can not edit this image but each time you go back to word (or text edit r what ever) you do it again and delete the old one from iPhoto so you continually edit the word file and create a new iPhoto image

I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

Will the data entered under "Add a description" in iPhoto migrate with the images into Photos?

Will the data entered under "Add a description" in iPhoto migrate with the images into Photos?

Thanks for the reply. My particular use of iPhoto is for documents that I have photographed from archives, libraries, and other repositories across the US and Europe. For each one I have added a complete citation and notes. I am so relieved to hear that all my years of work on this will migrate with the new app!

Repeating add a description in iPhoto

I find that the 'add a description' field under the information tab will populate itself with a common description that I may have put on one or two photos - but now it is on hundreds of them. Sometimes it is a camera brand name - some times it is the repeating notation. Anyone know how they may have gotten there and is there a group way to remove the notation?

I will reply to my own note - I used search to locate the photos with the phrase. I selected all of them. Then used PHOTOS>BATCH CHANGE - selected Description and unchecked the box that says APPEND TO EXISTING. With the text field blank - it inserted the blank into all the selected photos. Still not sure how it got there, but it is now fixed.

IPhoto "Add a description..." loses focus

Not sure if this is a feature by design or an oversight. When I click into the comment field on a particular photo within iPhoto v9.2.1 (the field that reads "Add a description..."), I can obviously add a text. But as soon as I simply move the mouse outside this field the focus on this field is lost. To continue adding or editing text one has to click into this field again. What do you think is this on purpose or a design oversight?

How can I add a description to a photo so it will be emailed with the photo?

How can I add a description to a photo that I am going to email so it will be emailed with the photo? For that matter how can I add a description to a photo that will stay with (or on?) the photo?

Add your description as you normally would. Then export the photo using the File -> Export command. In the resulting dialogue you have a number of options. If you check the box at Titles and Descriptions then these wil be written to the IPTC metadata of the files, and available in any app that understands this metadata.

Text Box in iphoto books

I am trying to add a text box to my iphoto book and can't seem to figure it out beyond the small text box provided in one of the layouts. Any ideas?

You can not modify the template - the text boxes are as they are provided

Can you cure this problem ... no text cursor is available in the description box for step 4 of eBay.co.uk selling

I use XP Pro SP3 + Firefox 16.0.2
Since yesterday, when trying to sell an item on eBay.co.uk, no text cursor is available in the description box for step 4, so it is not possible to enter text.
However, text can be entered into all the other text boxes on the selling page.
For comparison, using Internet Explorer 7, text can be entered into that text box.

XI Actions: Add Document Descriptions - Values not showing

1. Using Adobe Pro XI (version 11.0.0) I create a new Action and I add the Add Document Description step.
2. I click Specify Settings and enter default values for Title, Subject, Author and Keyword (e.g. as in the screenshot below).
3. I close the dialog box and activate the Prompt User checkbox.
4. I save the action.
When I run this action, the description dialog box comes up, but none of my default values ("a", "b", "c", "d") shows up. This seemed to work well with similar actions in Adobe Pro X.
What goes wrong?
Here is the exported action:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Workflow xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/acrobat/workflow/2012" title="test add document description" description="" majorVersion="1" minorVersion="0">
<Group label="Untitled">
<Command name="GeneralInfo" pauseBefore="false" promptUser="true">
 <Items>
 <Item name="Author" type="text" value="c"/>
 <Item name="Keywords" type="text" value="d"/>
 <Items name="LeaveAsIs">
 <Item name="Author" type="boolean" value="false"/>
 <Item name="Keywords" type="boolean" value="false"/>
 <Item name="Subject" type="boolean" value="false"/>

 </Items>

I just realize that updating from 11.0.0 to the latest patches (11.0.10) resolves the issue.

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac?

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac? Whenever I export the pictures the additional information is lost

Two ways:
1. File -> Export. Set the Kind to Jpeg or Tiff
Check the boxes at 'Location Information' and 'Titles and Keyword'
The information is written to the iptc and Exif metadata on the file.
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager This will get all of the information plus faces and edit history

Why can't I delete text in description box?

I have created few iphoto books and never had this problem before. I just updated my software. I insert the photos, add the description, then when I want to delete it, it just wouldn't let me. I cancelled the first project then created a new one, the same thing happened. Getting frustrated now!! :-/

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, create a book and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
