Adding spotlight searchable comments to photos?

I'm archiving a lot of material with a Canon digital camera. The Canon software allows me to add comments to the JPEGs that show up in the Canon ImageBroswer app -- but when I open these files in GraphicConverter, I don't see the comments, even though GC also has a place to add comments to JPEG images. Spotlight doesn't seem to pick up the comments either.
Is there a method to add comments to JPEGs that would be recognized by Splotlight, and perhaps GraphicConverter? I'd like to be able to find photos by whatever strings are in the comment field. Thanks!

I'm wondering if I'll need to wrap my pix up in a PDF skin in order to guarantee that the comments stay with them and are universally accessible.
"I don't see how that would achieve anything, to be honest."
It keeps the comments with the picture, and makes it findable via spotlight. And the comments remain readable when moved to any platform that can handle PDFs.
The problem is that most normal ways of doing this increase file size drastically.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

Adding an html comment causes entire table to disappear in CC Design view

Doing some tweaks to a page in the html editor in DW CC and adding a simple comment  causes the extensive table beneath it to disappear from the design view pane. But the html is still there in the html editor and the page still appears correctly in a browser. Refresh Design View does nothing. At first I kept Undo'ing it to get back to where I was before adding the comment. Then I thought maybe if I saved the doc after adding the comment it would refresh correctly, but it didn't. Quitting and rebooting DW doesnt help.
What gives? Now the Design view table is gone. I can't work like this, without seeing the page I'm working on...
I can make this same thing happen over and over - which seems to indicate a bug in DW CC...
I know you pro's are anti-tables but I'm stuck with tables right now...

Ok I understand about dl'ing files, np. Heres the page in progress: {link temporarily removed} with 2 duplicate table elements below the first, one in the center I was adjusting/adding comment DW has disappeared, the other at bottom intact for backup. Here's what the disappeared version looks like in DW:
CC:
The layout is simple and DW shouldn't prevent me from doing this: I know it could be done with div's and CSS but I'm not going to practice and perfect that for this right now, its already torture enough using DW for this simple thing. It needs to stay as nested tables.
Despite any method of working - adding a comment should not create this hassle.
Thanks for trying to help!

Adding Color to Black & White Photo

I have PE 9 and I know how to change a photo from Color to Black and White. I am having trouble adding color back to the photo...Could someone please help me selectively add color to my now black and white photo.
Thanks in advance.

That's the easiest.
Open your full colour image.
Choose the Smart Brush tool I showed in my previous post.
On the Options bar for the tool,
hit the dropdown arrow (1).
Hit the effects dropdown box and choose "Black and White" (2).
Select "Grayscale" (3).
Set your brush to a small size.
Paint over the areas you want to be in Black & White. The brush automatically selects entire areas as you paint.
If it goes too far, set the brush to "minus"
and paint over the excess area to return it to the original colour.
The automatic selection kind of "learns" what you want, so by going back and forth between "plus" and "minus", you'll ultimately get what you want.

Having switched from iPhoto to ICloud Photo I find that their are many, many double and triple photos. Just added a small folder of photoes and all are showing in photos as doubles. What am I doing wrong?

Martin,
I am not sure, however you may want to post in the Photos forum, please click Photos for Mac to get there.

Comments on Photo Stream

We have comments on photo stream by various people and would like to retain those comments in IPhoto - is there a way that they can be synced?

I assume you mean a shared photo stream. I don't believe it's possible to disable comments, but if you're the owner you can delete comments (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmb700efbb). You can also, of course, remove subscribers if there are certain people posting comments you don't want (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7bfa).

Adding/DELETING Titles & Comments to Individual Photos In An iDVD Slideshow

I am running iDVD 6.0.3 where I have 85 titled photos [selected, not imported, from Media/Photos into iDVD] already entered into an iDVD slideshow. I would like to have a title on ONLY the FIRST photo. The iDVD "Help Menu" makes it sound like this wish of mine would be possible as it states: "You don't have to include text for all the images. Only text you add will appear in your slideshow; the placeholder text will not appear."
I do know HOW to add a title and/or comment to the FIRST photo, but how do I DELETE the title and or comment from the other 84 photos? Do I have to go through each one and MANUALLY delete each title? That seems like a LOT of trouble, and perhaps I am just missing a way to do this more easily???
I know about using the gear shaped Settings feature to check "Show titles and comments", but that is where it includes the titles that are already on all of the 85 photo from when I chose them from the Media/Photos pane; unless, it seems, that I were to delete the other 84 titles and/or comments INDIVIDUALLY.

Yes, you are right, I could make a "title photo" in iPhoto from a card I could design [I do not have Photoshop Elements] and use that for the title. Thank you. It just seems like this same thing should be able to be done within iDVD itself with the way they have the directions written in the iDVD "Help Menu".
After I made my original post on this topic, I think I solved my own question using a round-about method. I had to use the "batch change" to "no title" in iPhoto BEFORE selecting my 85 photos in iDVD slideshow. That way all of the title/comment areas were blank when I brought them into iDVD, and then I could just add titles or comments to the exact individual photo of the 85 that I wanted to label. So I was able to accomplish what I wanted it to do. It just seems, however, that iDVD should have an option in iDVD to add title/comments to individual photos without having to take the titles off all of the labels ahead of time in iPhoto. If the iPhoto program can allow the titles of photos to be removed as a "batch change", it seems that iDVD should have been designed with that same feature! Or maybe I am missing something here?

Can you center comments in photo slideshow

I am doing a new slideshow in IDVD and adding comments on some photos. The come out left-justified. Is there a way to center them?

No. To get what you want use a 3rd party slideshow app that gives you control over the title placement. PhotoPresenter has over 20 animated themes with some that let you place the title where you want or have it in the center at the bottom. iMovie also will let you add titles in the center.

Spotlight sees comments created in =10.5 but does not show them in Comments

*A most serious and perplexing situation*: Upon updating to 10.6 my huge number of file comments created in the Comments field in 10.5 and earlier OS X versions are reliably detected/indexed by Spotlight 10.6 but are _not displayed_ in its Comments field!?!
Reindexing, an obvious solution step, has not solved the problem. I have also run TechTool Pro 5.0.6 and DiskWarrior 4.2 (though both off the startup disk), to no avail.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to a utility that could make the comments reappear in Comments?
Or is there at the very least a utility that should give one a view of the pre-existing metadata (wherever it may be stored?!#!) so that one can copy or retype it into the (10.6) Comments field??
Any feedback would be most highly appreciated.

I'm not sure. spotlight comments are tricky animals. they are stored in several places: in the extended attributes of the file, in .DS_store of the folder containing it and in the spotlight index. I think one of the first two locations is corrupted somehow. also, the fact that you are moving from older OS X versions complicates matters. AFAIK, the system for storing them changed from Tiger to leopard.
try the following. open AppleScript Editor (It's in /Applications/Utilities and paste in the following.
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Finder"
set mlist to selection
repeat with this_item in mlist
set ppath to quoted form of POSIX path of (this_item as alias)
set comment of this_item to (do shell script "mdls -name kMDItemFinderComment " & ppath & "| awk -F\\\" '{print $2}'")
end repeat
end tell</pre>
select a few files/folders that are giving you trouble with spotlight comments in finder and press "run" in applescript editor. then see if the spotlight comments for those files got fixed.

Adding 'discription' space when viewing photo's in my 'Gallery'

I've posted several albums in my 'Gallery'. Until today I hadn't really worried about the description of any photo in any album. Today I added a descriptions to all the photos in one album.
Now when I go to my "Gallery" on the web and bring a photo up, then click on the 'I'...what I see in my description box is about half of what I wrote. Unlike the the text entered in the 'description box' before I published the album I'm unable to scroll when I view it on the web so about half (more or less) of what I wrote is worthless. Is there any way to enlarge the viewing box in my web "Gallery" so the complete description shows?... or be able to scroll after getting to that site?

HEY--
You're not alone. The same thing is happening to me. This is what happened: First, my computer had too many photos on iPhoto, and I couldn't download anymore, (I have a G5 and lots of memory too but it didn't matter since I have tons of pictures)and my computer would say my start-up disk was full. I tried to delete some images to no avail. So I decided to buy another hard drive. I wanted to use that one for my photo library rather than the first hard drive, so I had enough room to work with.
I still couldn't download photos to it, since iPhoto was still on my first hard drive. So, I tried moving iPhoto to my second hard drive by dragging it and placing it there. It asked where my library was, so I directed it to the location I thought it was in my Pictures folder.
This is when things started getting mixed up. It no longer was backing up my iPhoto library to my Pictures folder. Whenever it would ask me to update my thumbnail cache, it started substituing dashed lines instead of my photos in its place. Little by little, this was happening. I could still download new photos into my iPhoto Library, but some photos from the past were getting corrupted and I couldn't salvage them or see them in any way, other than the dashed lines.
Recently, I have had two weddings to edit, and I cannot see the photos for the reception of one of them after I updated the thumbnail cache again. I thought it would bring my photos back, but rahter it made them so I can't see them!
I have read the other posts about this same issue, and I am about to just take my computer into MacDocs, but rather I'd like assistance here if possible since I need this taken care of, and I pay $100 every year for MacPro, and noone was available there to help me!!!
Please... any help would be appreciated. I too nervous to move anything else, and I would like some REAL help to this issue.
Thank you in advance!

Adding user review comments to each item

I am creating my site in Muse and then will be publishing to BC. My website will be have a least 7,000 items on it. I want to be able to have user review comments for EACH item. will I be able to do this using BC? I am guessing every item would have to have it's own page and then a module added to it. I am looking at adding 7,000 modules unless there is a faster way. Thank's in advance all

Yes. Please have a look at the following article about the comments module http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/758/bc_758.html
Also, you can integrate Facebook comments as per http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/851/cpsid_85118.html
