Add Captions to each Image in a Web Gallery.

Adding captions to each individual image in a gallery is one of the most common things people do with web galleries, not to have this capability is very odd. What gives?

thanks i realize that there are free & great products out there that will work i'm just irritated that i pay 2 grand for an adobe cs bundle and they don't supply us with something as standard as a simple way to put captions in a flash web gallery.

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!

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.

[web] is it possible to manipulate the file names of images from a web gallery?

Hi,
I am new here so please forgive my dumb questions....
I would like the resulting images in my web gallery to have sequential filenames (ie 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc)
Is this possible and could you give me some clues how I might approach this?
Thanks!
Steve

You can't rename the actual files from Web as they export. There's nothing in the SDK on it either.
Lightroom does change the naming to make it websage. For example, spaces are turned into underscores.
If you need sequential files, I'd suggest getting the files in order, then exporting the files as highest quality Jpeg with a sequential naming system.
Click the Add to Catalog checkbox, and perhaps use 'The same folder' and then use a subfolder for organistion.
Use these new images to create the web gallery.

Increasing # of images in a web gallery in Bridge

How can I increase the number of images in a web gallery in Bridge.
It seems with the Standard style gallery it will only put in 20 images
Can we do more?

Possible to upload only Edited images to existing web gallery

I have a couple of large galleries and after I upload the whole thing I see a couple of edits I need to make.
How can I upload only selected images with the Web Gallery (I still want my index page to have ALL of the ones in the collection, i just want the updated ones to be reuploaded).
Rob.

Thanks for the reply, although I don't like the answer!
I have a Zenfolio account and an open source Gallery, maybe I will continue using those (using Export Plugins) although I like the Flash galleries (third party) for LightRoom.
Thanks,
Rob.

Add captions to all images in a document

Does anyone already have a script that will add captions to all the images in a document? Right now I have to select each image on each spread which doesn't feel very efficient.

Hi Sandee!
Would that be using CS5's automatic caption function, or just "captions in general"?
If the latter, I s'pose it's not too hard to write a quick & dirty script to add a text frame below (above?) each image, sets its width to the image size, sets the height to a reasonable amount, optionally add an object style to it, and (for instance) copy the image file name into it so you know what you're talking about.
If the former ... anyone else?

Need to add caption to each photo

When creating slideshow, I want to add a caption to each photo. I can do that in Photo Story 3 for Windows from Microsoft. Can't find a way in in Lightroom 3 or 4.

Using captions (or, hiding file names) for Web Gallery with Aperture 2.0

Is there a way to add captions to pictures displayed using the Aperture 2.0 web gallery without changing the actual file name? I'd like to keep the file name but add a caption to each photo if possible.
Thanks

Hi John
I'm not making extra versions for this, just using the version name as the name in the web gallery. If you are not already using the version name then it lends itself to web gallery naming nicely. If you are using version names already, perhaps reconsider how necessary this is to you as you are tying up this other potential use.
My file names all contain a date and index number but I try and use more 'user friendly' version names if part of my final output will be for web galleries. This is good for clients as they don't have complicated names to order, but it's also a cinch to find the files using the search bar in Aperture.
Hope this helps

Help- how do I make images ready for web gallery??

Hi,
I am trying to create a photo gallery of images within Bridge using the Adobe Web Gallery feature. I have the images I want to use in a folder.What steps do I need to take to get the images saved in the correct format and file size? Also, what files sizes do you recommend for a web gallery? I need to make medium to large thumbnails & large images (when clicked). Here's what I am thinking I need in terms of getting this right:
use Adobe Photoshop/Bridge to create the gallery
jpg for photos
gif for solid colors
file size under 2MB (full image), under 20-30K for (thumbnails), total size of all images under 50K (no more than 50 sec. to download)
screen size: 984x728
screen resolution: 72dpi
If you could help me in any way, shape or form concerning making my images ready for a web gallery that would be most helpful. And if you can refer me to any resources on making a web gallery that'd be awesome. Thank you!

How do I change the background to an Image in the web gallery wizard?

Im using a flash gallery but I can only change the background colour I can't workout how to change the background to an image. Can it be done?
Thanks
Jamie

Not directly this time, I believe, but by a post web gallery generation hack to the generated files.

Missing Images when Automating Web Gallery in CS3

HI
I'm new so please be kind! I am trying to automate a web gallery in Photoshop CS3 but every time I run it it misses one image. I have renamed the image to no avail.Its a jpeg like all the others - nothing at all outstanding about it. I have purged the folder cache through Bridge. No difference. I have tried to do it through CS3 and through Bridge, no difference. I have even turned the computer off and on again!Of course the one its skipping is one I really want in the gallery!
I am running a Mac OS X 10.5.5 on a 2Ghz Destop
Thanks

You're a genius! I left both the jpeg and the psd in the same folder - it skipped the jpeg again but found the psd file.
Thanks so much
Chris

IPhoto v7.1 - Maximum number of images export to Web Gallery

Maximum number of images that can be exported to Web Gallery??

I believe that the number is 500 per gallery - total of all galleries would be a function of photo size and iDisk space

Image processor and web gallery untagging sRGB profiles

When I image process a batch of files (mixture of raws and psds) the resulting files have an untagged RGB colour space even though the 'convert to sRGB' is ticked in the processor dialogue. This also happens to my images when I create a web gallery, even when I start the script using sRGB profiled jpegs in the first place. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? Thanks, Matt

I am slightly confused by what you said...
without exporting the photos separate first.
Do you mean change to sRGB while still in Aperture? The answer would be no. The images get changed to sRGB on export. However, you do not have to export the images separately from the gallery. When you create the gallery, the images and html get created all together. So, what you do is change the export presets you are using for the web to have sRGB in the color space profile.

How can you add a mp3 player to your Lightroom web gallery?

I feel like this would be a highly desirable feature and assumed Adobe would add it to Lightroom 3. That doesnt seem to be the case. Does anyone know an easy work around for adding music to your Lightroom web galleries? Dewplayer http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer-en.html seems to have a open source mp3 player with a code generator. I assume i can use that and then cut and past the code into one of the lightroom gallery files. Anyone know where to paste it? I am using lighroom's simpleviewer web gallery.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.
