Adding captions to photos for web gallery

I'm creating a web gallery for my web page and I'd like to add a caption to each photo and not show the file name.  I've got Bridge CS4 3.0.0.464 and would like to use either the 'Filmstrip' template.
Can't figure out how to add captions.

The only way I found to do it was to apply the Caption Maker script from Russell Brown before creating the gallery.
This puts a caption on each picture.

  • How to view photos on Web Gallery?

    So, on TV I go to Photo> .Mac>Web Gallery>then I type the web gallery web address (not easy with the remote)
    I tried a few times, I get a message saying that Tv can't find it. Same web gallery works fine on my Mac.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    F

    Props for figuring that one out. For those who stumble on this post -- use the .mac user name without "@mac.com" -- just the user name itself.
    Thanks

  • Optimum Size for Web Gallery

    In trying to set up galleries that have quick view time, I'm trying to follow iPhoto advise and use a Medium sized photo for Web Galleries. iPhoto help sez:+When you send, print, or publish a photo from your iPhoto library, you need to choose the right size+. For me that would be Medium size.
    However I can find no place to determine size. How can I choose the size I want to use?

    smidi:
    I believe that statement pertains to situation where you can control the size of the file to be used. However, in publishing a Web Gallery iPhoto determines the size. If you don't select the option to have viewers download the photos then the image size is 800 x 600 pixels. If you selected the download option then the full sized file is uploaded for viewer to download.
    For emailing, if you use Mail, you will get a window which lets you select the size of image/file to send. For printing you want to use the largest size you can so you get the max resolution available.

    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Brigde CS5 in Windows 7 64bit - drops out photos in Web Gallery preview

    Is there a limit to the number of photos that web gallery will display?  I created a web gallery and then started over again as instructions I read stated that I should put the TITLE on each photo.  Once I put the title in, out of 24 photos that use to display, only 20 now display.
    Can someone explain why this is happening?  I haven't even gotten to the point of trying to embed in my website yet.  Perhaps Bridge isn't the best tool to use?
    Thanks to anyone who can offer any insight as to why this is happening.
    Daisey

    And right you are!  After posting this message I started reading through all the help files and finally did find the same answer.  Now my problem is the linking as I have a very strange hosting set up.  Two sites, same directory.  So all my images have broken links.  Something new to work out!
    Cheers!

  • Using a shared photo in Web Gallery

    My wife and I share a computer and we each have a .Mac account. However, all of our pictures are in iPhoto under her login.
    I would like to publish a Web Gallery using my .Mac account and photos shared from her iPhoto library.
    However when I include a shared photo in the Web Gallery it imports it into my iPhoto Library, giving me two copies of the same photo, one in her iPhoto library and another in mine, thereby duplicating the photo which is not what I want.
    Is there a way to use a shared Photo in Web Gallery and maintain the relationship to the original photo and not duplicate the picture?

    Roger
    No, because as far the the Mac is concerned, it's not yours to Share until it's in your Library.

  • Different caption for each photo in web gallery

    When you take your selected Photos from Library  to WEB is it possible to have a different caption for each photo. If I select 1 photo from the import and change its caption using the caption popup in the "Image Info" pane all the image captions change even the unselected ones.
    How can I change individual photos so that they will have individual captions in the web gallery?

    You should change the caption metadata field in the Library module. Go to the Library module, select the image you want to change the caption on, in the right panel, scroll down to the metadata section. Make sure that the popup to the left of metadata is set to "default" and you should see the standard metadata. Simply type your caption here. Then, if you've done this for all your photos, go back to your web section and make sure you set the caption popup in the image info section back to "caption", which will use the info in the caption metadata field for each photo automatically.

  • 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.

    Scott:
    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.

  • Adding Descriptions to Individual Photos in Web Gallery

    I'm looking for an easy (or easier, considering my current method) way of creating a web gallery in lightroom that gives me the ability to add descriptions of individual photos.
    What I've been doing thus far is limiting myself to only the galleries which separate the 'large' pictures in their own folder from the 'small' or 'thumb' photos. The small or thumb photos are the ones used for navigation. When one is selected, the large photo is displayed. I have been generating the galleries with Lightroom, opening up the Large directory, then opening every single large picture in Photoshop. Then I extend the canvas in the same direction for each photo, and write the description next to the photo and save it. That way, when you open the gallery, the thumbnails all look as they normally would, but when you click on them you're greeted with a large picture and a description.
    This process is long, boring, and painstakingly annoying. I have done this for approximately 200 pictures thus far. The end result looks just fine, but my research into having Lightroom let me add visible descriptions has turned up nothing. Is there a template, engine, or anything else that will allow me to display pictures with some text next to it?

    Haven't you looked at the Image Info panel in Web? You enter captions in Library, in its Metadata panel, and then tell Web to display them.

  • 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

  • Added photos in web gallery synced back to iPhoto?

    when others add photos to my web galleries, i can't find where they are synced back to on my mac. For example, if I publish an event "Beach" and my friend adds a picture taken from her camera to the web gallery, it does not sync back to the original 'beach' event in my iphoto library....instead its saved to an unlisted '2008' - 'originals' folder in iPhoto. Is there a way so that if someone adds a photo to the web gallery it will sync back to the original event folder that the web gallery was published from?

    You're not neurotic MJM80, This problem drives me nuts.
    I created a web gallery album through ME.com from my office computer. The album shows up in iPhoto under MOBILEME GALLERY on my Mac at home but it does not create an album or even in iphoto that corresponds to the web gallary album. The photos only exist in the web gallery they are not transferred to my iphoto library at all. Very annoying.
    Anyone who has an issue with this should post it in the discussions and send feedback to apple. MOBILEME GALLERY sync should work in both directions.

  • Are there addresses for Web Gallery photos?

    So, I assume that when you make a web gallery, the photos are being uploaded to your iDisk space. Is there a direct address to link to so they can be HTML'd?

    Chris:
    Open one of the web galleries in iPhoto and look at the top of the window. There will be a url link you can either copy or use to visit the online gallery. If you click on the Tell a Friend button an email will be created with the link in it also.

  • Specific order for web gallery photos

    I am publishing a web gallery (newbie) and the photos need to be in a certain order-its a wedding album. How do I get them in the correct order. I put them in order in iphoto, but when the gallery publishes, they are random. Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you put them in order after creating the gallery in iPhoto and before publishing? All of my online galleries have the same order that are in the iPhoto galleries. You can change the order after publishing and then hit the publish button to reorganize the online gallery.

  • Adjust Photo Size For Web Gallery

    I'm uploading a new Web Gallery as I type this....(although nothing appears to be happening at the moment...I decided against my first couple of efforts and deleted those galleries).
    I don't see a way to adjust the size of the photos uploaded to the Web Gallery. As each of the photos I'm uploading is approximately 3MB in size, I was hoping there might be an option to compress each of the photos prior to uploading. Am I missing it?
    In iPhoto Help, there's a topic for "Choosing the Appropriate Size For Your Photo". Apparently, this only refers to emailed photos, though?
    Any thoughts on this?

    Mike:
    Have you checked on the size of the files uploaded to the web gallery? They are resized to 800 x 600 pixels. If you select the option to have the full sized image downloaded then the max pixel dimension is 3054 pixels in any direction. If the are larger than than the get resized. Additionally the file is compressed. My 2.7 MB file was downsized to 750 KB.

  • Text under photos in Web-gallery

    How do I Put my own text under the photos when I create a web-gallery? If I use Custom, it will show the same under all photos, and if I use titles, I have to rename all, and then I can not use the same title for some...

    Enter the data (text) into each images IPTC caption field and then ask LR to display it from that field.

  • Photos in Web gallery too dark

    Hello,
    I just updated to the new iLife.
    I tried the new Web Gallery function and the photos are too dark compared to the view in iPhoto.
    Same happens with galleries in iWeb.
    What's wrong?
    JO

    There is a color problem when publishing pictures from iPhoto 06 and 08 (as well as when e-mailing a picture).
    The problem being that the images are published with their original color profile, whatever that is. Further, if profile is missing in the image in iPhoto, the profile will be missing in the output. (BUT iPhoto displays correctly in case there is an EXIF tag specifying sRGB).
    The result is that colors will not be displayed correctly on the WEB (or in e-mail clients), more or less depending on OS platform. This applies both to images and their thumbnails.
    Compare the iPhoto album http://www.tomasjonsson.eu/IPhotoTests/
    with an album with correct colors http://www.tomasjonsson.eu/PictureSite/Albums/Pages/PreAndPostProcessed.html
    In Safari, only IMG_9465 and IMG_5182 will show a difference - since those are the only images without a color profile. However, in other MS-Windows browsers, most images will be displayed incorrectly.
    Note! Most digital cameras produce images without at color profile but with an EXIF tag. In iPhoto:Preferences:Advanced choose Embed ColorSync profile, which will add a profile corresponding the EXIF tag. However, the images that you have already imported will not be fixed.
    Note to Apple: Show EXIF colors space and embedded color profile in Info pane. Add command - ASSIGN profile. And in export dialog - add option Color Space.
    HOW IT SHOULD BE
    Images on the web (and in general also e-mails) should be published in sRGB color space (otherwise they will not be displayed correctly in browsers on the MS-Windows platforms, with the exception of Safari, viewing images with a color profile)
    Images should have a color profile, in particular the sRGB images (otherwise they will not be displayed correctly on the MacOS platforms. Maybe close to correct if you have calibrated your monitor to PC-gamma)
    Actually all images should have a color profile, period. If the image does not have a color profile, it is just a pile of randomly colored pixels - to be interpreted freely by any displaying device, which they do.
    For a demonstration of profiles and WEB see: http://www.gballard.net/psd/golive_pageprofile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html
    However, DO NOT follow this guys advice of omitting the color profile for WEB publishing because of overhead. The overhead is less than 1% of a high quality image. (I measured 0.5 - 2.5 kByte)
    WORKAROUND
    After exporting from iPhoto - use Photoshop and CONVERT TO PROFILE all images to sRGB color space. Save file with color profile.
    Note, make sure that images without original profile are treated correctly (most often they are sRGB, check the EXIF tag with Preview application)
    Note, apply also conversion to thumbnails.
