Caption on a photo in iPhoto

How can I write a caption on a photo in iPhoto

With an external editor:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

If you do not have it on disc, then download it, install it, and activate it with your serial numnber. If you need to download it, if you purchased it online thru Adobe look for a link in your Adobe account online. You can also download the trial version and activate it with your serial number...

When I recaption a photo in IPhoto and transfer to Photo Stream the caption is not transferred and only the original photo ID shows in Photo Stream. Can you transfer a recaptioned description to Photo Stream?

When I recaption a photo in IPhoto and then transfer to Photo Stream, the new caption is not transferred and the original Photo ID shows. Is there any way to have the new caption show up in Photo Stream with a transferred photo?

No. Recaptioning only add a title to a photo and does not change the actual file name. You could export the photo outside of iPhoto with the option to use the title as the new file name, reimport into iPhoto and then add to PhotoStream. But that may be more of a hassle than you wnat to go thru.

Ios iphoto "add a caption" removed if photo exported why ?

Where outside iphot can the captions be viewed
- I've synced a photo folder from itunes to my ipad.
- Worked on them all in iphoto so they are edited and given them each a caption
- Now to get them to my computer I've decided to copy to camera roll.
- I've reopened iphoto and it updated the new photos in camera roll but it has WIPED the captions.
I have seen the same if I try to export to itunes then reopen in iphoto on ipad.
What is the point of using captions in iphoto if you cant save them in any other app and read them. They are not saved in the EXIF or IPTC info of the image, as I've looked at that in Photoforge2.
When will iphoto for ipad get an update its workflow needs tweaks to make it amazing, it doenst need a re-write.
I really want to love this app stop making it hard to use it just isn't apple.

Apparently captions are used only in iPhoto. Not sure why.

Will photos app updated to permit add caption to picture like the iphoto before ios 8 kill it?

Will Photos app be updated soon to permit add caption to picture like the iPhoto before ios 8 kill it? I used thad feature and now I don't now how can I do. thanks

I haven't seen any mention of adding the text feature to photos, but Apple is always tight lipped on new features. Try a photo editor app like the one below.

Can I save captions (labels under the photos in iPhoto) in Aperture?

Can I save captions (labels under the photos in iPhoto) in Aperture?

The captions are indeed in iPhoto replacing the scan number under the photo.
I see, you want to save the name of the image version - both Aperture and iPhoto allow you to create multiple edited versions of the same original image file and in iPhoto you are seeing the name of the image version belbow the thumbnail of the image, if you change the title n the Info panel.
But they are not saved with the photos when burned to disc,apparently (correct me if I am werong).
I don't know, which iPhoto version you are currently using. When you export photos (in iPhoto '11) or image versions (in Aperture 3) as files to a folder on the disk, you can use the version name/Title as the filename. Both applications let you chose, how the exported file will be called. In iPhoto use the following settings, when exporting your images, to use the title as the filename:
Select the images in the Browser.
Use "File > Export"
Set the "Kind" to "Original" or "Current", depending on if you want to export the original or the edited version,
And then pick a format for the filename. To use the title/verson name as the filname instead of the scan number, set "File Name" to "Use Title".

How can I import photos from iPhoto '09 to Elements Organizer 10 while keeping the tags attached?

I have spent a ridiculously long time tagging photos in my iPhotos but I would now like to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer and preserve all the work I had done.
From Adobe's help website (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS73c05ee9864270ea-417df45c129593bfa05 -8000.html) it says I can import the tags along with the photos but does not explain how:
"Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library"
When I follow the steps outlined on the website my photos are imported but there are no tags attached to them. I am particularly interested in keeping my facial tags but I suppose it would be useful to know how to keep other keyword tags and ratings as well.
There was a previous question put out on the forums similar to this but it was unresolved and the person decided to just leave everything in iPhoto. I really would prefer to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer. I don't like the way iPhoto organizes photos but I had to deal with it for several years before I bought Elements Photoshop with built-in Organizer.
Please Please help!
Many thanks
D.M.

You don't import one library to another. Just copy the library from the iBook to the Pictures folder on shout new MacBook Pro. If you have another library already on the MBP rename it so you don't overwrite it with the old library.
Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library and let iPhoto convert it to the new version.
Do you have photos in the library on the new MacBook Pro that you want to combine with the older library?

What is the best way to import photos from iPhoto 9 into PSE 11?

I just installed PSE 11 and I would like to move the pictures from my iPhoto 9 Library in to PSE 11.
What is the best way to accomplish this as far as accuracy of data?
Thank you!
Len

There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
Just a couple of things to know:
1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
Hope that helps!

I am trying to put a caption on a photo. Why does the caption not show in the photo?

In iPhoto, I would like to insert a CAPTION in the photo. When i enter my caption, it shows on the screen on top, but does not show in my slide show pictures.
Can you help?

Adding a caption will add metadata tags to the photo, but not write the text as a graphics annotation overlay to the picture. The slideshow themes do not include the metadata tags. If you want to present the photos with captions, swipe them nanually and not as a slideshow.
You would need to find a different app to add graphic overlays to the photos for text written onto the photo.

Can I label individual photos in iphoto

Can I individually label photos in iphoto?

In iPhoto '11?
Open the "Info" panel by clicking on the Info button lower right.
Then edit the "Title" Field and give the photo a title. This will change the version name.
You can also enter a caption in the "Description" field.

Is it possible to add a caption on each photo of my album ? Thank u

Hello,
Is it possible to add a caption on each photo of my album Iphoto ? Thank you for your help.

By album do you mean a book? If you mean a book then the answer is only if you use the one theme that provides a text box for each photo, Folio, which only has a 2 photos per page layout.
If you want to add text directly on the photo you would need to use a 3rd party image editor or a watermark application.
Some Image Editors that support layers:
Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
For watermarking apps go to MacUpdate.com and search for "watermark" to get a list of possible candidates.

HT201386 many of the functions of iPhoto are lost in Photos. Why delete it? its better to remove Photos than iPhotos.

Copying photos from IPhoto to File Folders

After I rename a photo in iPhoto, I drag it and/or copy it to a an external HD to archive. Problem is: the caption does not copy over. Instead, the original DSCNxxxx number transfers. Does anyone know how I can transfer everything?

Use the file -> export command. In the resulting dialogue you have losts of options, including writing the metadata to the file.
the caption does not copy over. Instead, the original DSCNxxxx number transfers.
That's not the caption, it's the filename. Check out the options to use the +Title as filename+ on the Export dialogue.
FWIW: While this does back up your photos it's not a back up of your Library and you will suffer dataloss with out one.

Cannot email photos from iPhoto after upgrade to 10.8

After upgrading to 10.8, I have not been able to successfully eamil photos from iPhoto. I can select the photos, click the email icon, and have Mail open with the photos attached (as expected). But the send button is grayed out, and the newly created message window cannot be closed. To get rid of the unsendable email, I have to quit or force shut down Mail, then reopen Mail and manually delete the email from Drafts.
Has anyone else run into this issue?

As Larry suggested go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and make sure your email account information is correct. If you joined iCloud that is a must.
