Creating captions attached to photos

Hi
I am working on a large genealogy project and have just scanned in hundreds of old family photos collected from many relatives. I would like to add captions with the names of the people in the photos so that future generations will also be able to identify who is on the photo. iphoto only allows to add comments etc in the comments box but not in such a way that the caption appears together with the photo. I would then like to reimport the photo with attached caption into iphoto for further processing.
I have seen a webpage describing a PC program called "Breezebrowser" (http://www.rideau-info.com/genealogy/digital/captioning.html) which allows PC users to add captions to photos. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find an equivalent program. I have downloaded trial versions of "Comic life", "Portraits and Prints" and "Photo Mechanic", but neither seems to be doing what I need.
Any help would be appreciated.

What I did was put the info for each picture in the Comments field in iPhoto. Then I would group the photos as desired and use the File->Export->Web Page menu option create web galleries for each batch. They would be saved to a folder appropriately named for the group. Then you could open the "index.html" file for each folder with your browser, yes even PC can view them, and view the photos, with captions/comments/file names, with your internet browser. I burned multiple folders of galleries to each CD or many to a DVD disk. If you want more control over the gallery, try using BetterHTMLExport, CustomHTMLExport or Galerie. They have terrific themes and can produce great looking galleries.

How can I attach multiple photos to an email using IOS 8.1.1

I am trying to avoid having to attach one photo at a time when emailing a group.

One option that you have is to go to the Photos App and go to your Camera Roll or where you have the pictures you want to send, then click on the select option at the top right side and select all the pictures you want to email.
Once you selected everything then click on the share button at the bottom and do the following depending on the number of photos:
- If you want to send 5 or less then you can select the mail option and this will create a draft with your pictures and then you can just add the address
- If you to send more than 5 then you can select copy, then go to the mail app, create a new email, press and hold on the text section and then select paste, all your pictures will be copied and then just add the address you need.
Hope this helps.

How can I attach a photo to an existing email ? (iPhone 4s and I don't know what iPhoto is)

Someone please help ! I'm a new owner of an iPhone 4s and I need to attach a photo to an existing email, but can't figure out how to do it. I have no idea what iPhoto is and need every step spelled out, in great detail, as I'm still very new at all the wonders of this great phone.
Thanks in advance,
Sandy

There is (to my knowledge) no way to do this with an existing email. You can create a new email message with a photo attachment from your 'Photos' app though. Open your photos app, select which photo you want to email, and then click the arrow in the botom left hand corner, and choose 'Mail.

Captions and Reorganizing Photos

My wife uses Adobe PSE 4 on her Windows XP laptop and won't switch to the PSE 9 software I bought her. She has 12,000+ photos in her Organizer catalog, and the underlying files are scattered all over two hard drive partitions. Many of them are duplicated (the thumbnails and sometimes the files themselves). Some thumbnails are disconnected and I can't find the files when I try to reconnect them. Many of them also have Captions that she has painstakingly added over the last 8 years. Because her drives are almost full, and she is annoyed with all the dupes, but doesn't want to lose her Captions, I have been tasked with getting everything back in order, including getting all the photo files themselves located in a high level directory (folder location).
I created a new "master" directory and started locating/moving some photo files there. I figured out that after I move them, PSE 4 will reconnect them, with captions, if I select the thumbnails in Organizer and then use Update Thumbnails from the right-click context menu. However, that's extremely time consuming and unreliable, because once I've moved a batch of files (in Windows Explorer), I have trouble finding them in Organizer photo bin to work with them, and the "batches" of files I've moved are not physically adjacent to each other (by date or whatever) in the Organizer photo bin. Also, Organizer wants to import files into the new "Watched" master folder location (which may or may not be duplicates, or new files that were never catalogued to begin with).
Is there a faster and easier way to do these basic tasks?:
1. Ensure that the captions stay with the photo files (preferably as part of each file's metadata in case Adobe blows up or loses its PSE catalog links).
2. Move the photo files in Windows Explorer as desired (I'm can handle that part).
3. Recatalog/reconnect the files, making SURE that I don't lose the Captions. Or the redating she did on many of them when the camera date wasn't set right.
4. Elimate the duplicate files, but only those WITHOUT Captions, so that I don'l lose those WITH Captions.
Yeah, I know this is a pretty big mess, but I've spent hours already researching and trying to do this project. If there's a better way to do this by upgrading to PSE 9 or a later version, I could do that, but it needs to run reliably on an older laptop with Win XP, and the biggest thing is that if I lose her Captions (or the date changes she's made when the camera had the wrong date), I'm toast.
If there's a way to write the Captions and Dates established in the PSE catalog into each file's metadata, then re-extract that into a completely new catalogue, I could do that, too, perhaps, as a way of getting my arms around this. That assumes PSE 4 can overwrite the metadata first, then retrieve those fields from the files into the new catalog (but if it can, I have no idea how to do that).
Thanks for any strategy and tips.

You can move the photos within the PSE4 Organizer (in Folder Location View, Alt-Ctrl-3) and then you don't have to reconnect.
You can write the captions to the photos files, for the photos that are connected, via File->Write Tags ...
There are a gazillion threads here on how to find duplicates, I suggest you search for them.
Upgrading to PSE9 won't fix the mess. Starting a new catalog will cause loss of captions and other metadata for disconnected photos. And if you have reconnected the photos, you don't need a new catalog; it won't buy you anything.
Once finished, I suggest you adopt policies that don't cause duplicates, and don't cause dis-connected photos, and that don't wind up with photos all over the hard disk. Not hard to do.

Cannot attach multiple photos using the ' Message ' option iOS 5.0.1 in ' Photos ' app.

Since i have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 i cannot attach multiple photos using the ' Message ' option in the ' Photos ' app.
i browse my photos and then select ' Message ' on a photo. i am then able to attach the first image to the message.
When i then select the Camera icon on the created message to add another image , either ' Choose existing ' or ' Take Photo or Video ' , it does nothing and takes you back to your existing message.
I am able to attach multiple images when accessing the iMessage app it is just from the Photos app it is occuring
is anyone else having the same issue ?

Cant Attach Iphoto Photos into Email?

I always was able to simply attach iphoto photos into an email when I wanted to send a photo to somebody. Id just click Attach..Then my photos would show up..Id choose one and be done.
However, I just opened IPhoto and it said I needed to update something in order to see my photos.
As soon as I did that, I am no longer to see my photos when I try to attach one to an email. I select Attack but then I just see "Iphoto" but it doesnt open up to show my events, folders and individual folders.
Does anyone know why or do I have to change some kind of setting?
At first it said to open iphoto but I did that and it still is not showing my photos.
I am using LION OS

Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I attach multiple photos to an e-mail

I would like to attach multiple photos which are already in the photos file on my ipad to e-mails I am sending from the ipad. Is there a place in the e-mail where you can attach photos. The only way I have found to do it is to send from inside the photos file but can only attach one per e-mail. Any suggestions?

You must email the photos from within the photos app.
You can select up to 5 photos to email at a time. While you are in thumbnail view in the photos app - tap the arrow icon in the uper right corner. Then tap on up to 5 photos in order to select them. Tap the Share button in the upper left corner and then select - email

How can I attach a photo to an email,using Photoshop Elements9,without going through the Revel cloud

How can I attach a photo to an email using Photoshop Elements 9, without going through the Adobe Revel cloud?

Adobe user wrote:
I'm using Windows 7. I have no email clients.
You don't need an Email client nor Adobe Revel account to send email and photos as attachment. All you need is an email account (could be free web-based account such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL or whatever including from your own ISP. And of course an Internet Connection.
Now the most obvious requirement is out of the way so you need to go in to your Organizer and click on Share button and choose Photomail. Select the photo you want to send and follow the instructions that are on your screen.
You also need to request an Adobe Verification Code to enable you to use Adobe's Mail Servers to send the photos for you. To do this go to:
Edit >> Preferences>> Sharing
Look for something like this and fill out the red boxes where indicated (click on this image to see it clearly).
Hope this gets you started.

How can I attach a photo as a separate file to an email? (I have tried several of the tricks suggested here and they don't work for me)

I cannot work out how to attach a photo as an attachment to an email. I have tried several times today using different methods (ie, changing the email to plain text, dragging the photo from Iphoto over the mail icon, emailing directly from Iphoto), but none of them work. Everything seems to just produce an email with an embedded photo. Any ideas?

Is this the first time your friend receives e-mail from a Mac user?
It is certainly the first time I have sent her emails from a Mac. Not sure if she has ever received messages from another Mac user before.
You've sent her e-mails with pictures before, but only now you're having a problem
Yes, that's correct.
Mail.app offers two settings you can try to manipulate: Edit > Attachments > Always send Windows-friendly attachments, and, Always insert attachments at end of message
I had already tried that and it didn't work.
e-mail client your friend is using
I will find out on Monday when she goes back to work, but I wanted to look at solving the problem firstly from my end.
very likely you're dealing with a problem others have dealt with
Yes, very likely - I searched the site before I posted my own question, and there were quite a number of posts on the same issue.
Again, thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully we can find a solution. I am not making you all grope in the dark just to annoy you!!! I'm just a new Mac user trying to work something out. I am sorry if it seemed otherwise.

Open the email, tap ad hold the image, in the window that opens tap Save Image.

How can I verify an apple id already created without attaching a credit card?

how can I verify an apple id already created without attaching a credit card?

Why do you need to verify it? Have you received an email telling you to click a link to do so? - if so it's very possible that it's a scam designed to trick you into entering your credit card details. If you have received such an email don't follow any links in it. If it's not addressed to you by name it's unlikely to be from Apple.
You could copy and paste the email into a post here so that we can have a look at it - remove your own email address when you do this.
If there is some other reason you want to verify the ID please give more details.

How do I create a Full Width Photo for a Liquid Layout - CS3

Greetings & Help!
I'm trying to create a full width photo layout without the
photo's being tall.
Exactly as the following websites - which all seem to be
using the same size of photo or very close to it.
This site is static with full width photos that are not tall.
http://www.jenniferhandyproperties.com/selling
This site is static for the most part and full width photos
that are not tall
http://www.gnvpartners.com/web/
This site is Flash with full width photos that are not tall.
expodesigncenter
I would love to create a flash site just like expo but at
this point I would settle for a static photo with the same size
being the same on each page.
Also I would like my site to be a liquid layout so the photo
and everything else (text, Links etc) on the page flows correctly.
The problem...
I'm trying to use photo's from Istockphoto.com. The size of
the photo's they offer are
425 x 282 px (5.9" x 3.9")
849 x 565 px (11.8" x 7.8")
1698 x 1131 px (5.7" x 3.8")
I'm selecting horizontal photo's. I do not know how to match
the same width, height and appearence as the websites I mentioned
above.
If I choose a photo that fits the width then the length is
too long. Also if I choose a large photo and have to crop it then
most of the detail of the photo is lost.
I'm attempting to create a mock-up for my web in Fireworks
CS3 and after search Adobe and www I came across the mock up should
be 1004px which would end up being 1024 with vertical scroll bar
and small margins.
I also have Photoshop & Flash CS3 but should mention (if
you haven't already guess it by now) I am a rookie when it comes to
creating a website.
So if you can offer a solution in "Non-Tech Terms" I would
appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your time.
