Floating captions under slideshow pictures
I have a slideshow where the pictures are of varying heights. I would like the caption to always appear just below the picture. Currently this is a problem because the long pictures overlap the caption and the short pictures have a large gap between the bottom of the picture and caption. How can I make a floating caption that stays just below the picture no matter how tall or short the picture is?
Hi Scott,
I will recommend that you use a composition widget instead where you will be able to align captions for individual images below them.

New Muse User. I am building my first slideshow and using the Muse Slideshow Widget. I want to build 2 different types of slideshows, one with thumbnails and one without. The documentation and videos are helpful but could not find anything to help me display a caption for each picture. How do I do this?
Hello,
Please check the steps below for both the scenarios
Slideshow with thumbnail:
1. Select the thumbnail.
2. Now the caption that you can see in for the related image of the thumbnail.
3. Edit the caption as you wish.
4. Now if you click on another thumbnail you will observe that the Hero Image and caption test has changed.
5. Change the details as per your requirement/
6. Similarly you can change the cation for rest of the images in the slide show.
Slideshow with-out thumbnail:
1. Go to the slideshow options and check the thumbnail option. (By doing this thumbnails will become visible)
2. Follow the same steps given under "Slideshow with thumbnail" to updated captions
3. Once captions are upto date, go to Slideshow options and uncheck thumbnails.
Please let me know if you have any other query regarding the same.
For more details i would suggest you to check the posts below, this will give you more clarity about captions.

Captions under thumbnails in photo album
Hi,
I've been trying all sorts of things to get a simple caption
under each thumbnail in a photo album. The page is on:
http://www.georgeglazer.com/globes/table20/table20inv/table20inv.html
This is the code for the thumbnail that I have tried to make
work. The thumbnails all display and sort fine. But no captions
appear:
<div id="thumbnails" spry:region="dsInventory">
<div spry:repeat="dsInventory"
onclick="dsInventory.setCurrentRow('{ds_RowID}')" style="height:
130px; width: 100px;">
<img src="{tn}" alt="{title}" name="tn{ds_RowID}"
id="tn{ds_RowID}" style="left: 0px; right: 0px; height: 100%;
width: 100%;" />
<p class="caption" style="width: 100px;"><span
class="whitetext">{@maker}<br
/>${@price}</span></p>
</div>
<p class="ClearAll"></p>
</div>
Among the things I have tried that did not work are:
1. Adding id="{ds_RowID}" to the <p> tag.
2. Putting a spry:detailregion="dsInventory" div around the
caption text.
3. Using {maker} and {price} instead of {@maker} and
{@price}.
4. Changing the height in the spry:repeat tag to something
larger than 130px, but that just distorted the thumbnails (which
are exactly 130px each).
Any help is welcome!
Thanks,
HelenKin,
Actually, I had omitted the @ signs originally, and it didn't
work either way, but thanks for explaining that. I looked at the
CSS for the div containing the thumbnail, and there's nothing
limiting height (not specifically, anyway).
Here is the CSS for the div containing the thumbnail:
#thumbnails {
clear: both;
margin: 5px auto;
#thumbnails div {
position: relative;
float: left;
margin: 4px;
padding: 0;
display:inline;
#thumbnails img {
height: auto;
width: auto;
position: absolute; }
...and for the div that contains the thumbnail div:
#previews {
border-top: solid 1px #404040;
border-right: solid 1px #404040;
border-bottom: solid 1px #3a3a3a;
border-left: solid 1px #404040;
padding: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;
float: left;
I do have the overall size of the preview pane specified
(style="width: 370px; height: 590px;") but that should be more than
enough room for 5 photos with 2-line captions. Is it the relative
or absolute positioning that may be the culprit?
--Helen
PS Let me assure V1Fusion that I did read everything
previously posted in this forum about photo album captions prior to
posting my question -- they all addressed the main image but not
the thumbnail, nevertheless, I tried various things suggested in
those posts before giving up figuring it out myself... -
Placing Caption under the image (photo)
I have Photoshop Elements 5.0.2 running under Windows Vista Ultimate on an HP Pavilion having 4GB RAM.
Would like to place a caption directly under 4x6 or 6x4 photo. How do I do this? I have spent hours on this. For printing the photo there seems to be some relationships between canvas size, image size and contents of the paper size field of the Page Setup window. Where does one find what all the fancy choices are in the paper size field of the Page Setup window? I have searched the help and also my copy of Brundage's Photoshop Elements 5: The Missing Manual. Failure. Besides I'm wasting ink.
Would prefer not to have to type in using the Text (T) tool directly in the image as it appears to drastically increase the physical file size of the image (from 689K to 25.785MB).
I do not care if the caption is on a border on not. Would like no borders on top, left or right.
Please specify what goes in the Page Setup and the Print Preview windows.
Thanks.I want the caption to appear under the picture.
I have come up with one solution: Crop the image (photo) to, e.g., 4x5.5, then extend the canvas .5 inch below the image, thus obtaining a 4x6 for printing. Then I use the text tool (T) to type in what I want as the caption on the canvas showing at the bottom of the image.
Is there a way of using the built-in Caption facility rather than my hokey method above? I would like to not have to retype the text (once for the Caption which I can have as part of files to send folks and once to print). - There must be a way of having the built-in Caption show up on a border which only shows at the bottom and outside (not on) the photo. (?)
Thanks to Juergen for solving the size problem. - How stupid of me!
Thanks Barbara. -
Help with Captions, within Slideshows
I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to customize the size and location of caption boxes, within each image of a slideshow. It seems that, once an initial caption box has been set in the first image, it appears in all consecutive images at the same location and size, with no means of individually controlling them. Am I overlooking something? Is there a way to customize the size and location of all captions within one slideshow? Your help/advise would be greatly appreciated. ~Thank you
hi DubuqueIA,
what do you mean by "Follow the same steps given under "Slideshow with thumbnail" tu updated captions" ?? where are these steps?
i btw have the same problem: edit together active or not - it always changes the size of all my captions. i just want one of my captions to be wider. -
I want to put captions under a group picture and save it as a .jpg. Then I want to be able to send these .jpg,s to several people using many different computers and have them be able to view it. (Thats why I want to use .jpg) My problem is when using Elements V2.0, the caption only shows when I print the picture. How can I get the caption to show when just viewing? I can put the caption on the picture and it is viewable but this is not practable with a large group.
You need to extend the canvas.
Open your picture
Go to Image>resize>canvas size
In the height field, enter 115%(my choice). If this does not provide sufficient room, you can increase it to suit by trial and error
Select a color for the canvas extension
Click on the anchor point in the 12 o'clock position
Enter the information with the type tool -
Include "Comments" as caption in slideshow?
I am putting together a slideshow of vacation pictures. Is it possible to have iPhoto add captions to the pictures of what I type in the "comments" section? This would be more convenient than going into iMovie and adding captions, I think.
Jeff,
Unfortunately, you can't show iPhoto's comments. However, you can show the iPhoto titles and changing the titles does not effect the real filename of the photo.
Hope this helped!

Mysterious slideshow pictures on Apple site or what?
http://www.apple.com/imac/
Take a look at 4th column (title - On every new iMac) under big pictures with new iMacs.
There is a picture (look like slide show ) with a Earth globe and small pictures ( aka dock) at the bottom.
I was looking all over in iPhoto to find it but with no luck.
Is it a missing slideshow, or idvd theme or other program??Sorry for taking your time, may be I am stupid or not making myself clear , but I want that effect on that picture on the left.
http://images.apple.com/imac/images/overviewfeaturessoftware20090303.png
There is no way I can make it in book, I check all of the settings and themes and so on. I only could make a some sort of flat MAP and some pictures on the same page, but I never like on the picture above with a nice globe and pictures at the button.
I am pretty sure that is some sort of animation going on on that picture.
Please clarify for a stupid me -
I would like to see the added keywords under the picture like iPhoto does it. Is that possible? I cannot find an answer in Aperture 3.2.1
Hello Wontolla, I meant the Aperture main menu, there is a sub menu "View", see the Screenshot:
Set all flags in the Metadata Display submenu as I did, to show Metadata in Viewer and Browser, and then select "Customize"
Pick the Metadata fields you want to display for all views.
Make sure, that "Contents -> Keywords" is checked.

I am using my Description as the caption on Slideshow. I ticked the "Show Title Slide" button and iPhoto physically copied the description on the first slide onto the end of every other description. I can find no way of removing them other than by hand. Unticking the "show title slide" did not reverse the situation back to my required state. Any ideas why it might have happened or how it might br resolved? Regards, Marshfrog1
Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

How to add a caption under a photo?
I have previously struggled to paste a caption under a JPEG photo for my web site by increasing the canvas size by an inch or two, entering the text in the space below, and then cropping off the additional space above the photo. Now I have 6 captions to add to photos for an article but when I try to paste the captions into the space under the photo it always pastes it in the center on top of the photo instead and I canot move it down to the bottom space at all. There must be a way to more easily add captions under photos.
Do you have PSE7? In guided edit there's an action for adding canvas beneath a photo, in the Action Player.

How do I get caption under landscape
How do I get a caption under a photo in landscape orientation? The "click here for caption" only appears in portrait orientation.
Thanks, but I tried that. It says portrait, but it still prints landscape. I tried turning off the printer. I called Brother. They said it was the Adobe software, but I've never had this problem before.

How to place caption under landscape
How do I get a caption under a photo placed in landscape orientation? The "click here for caption" only appears under portrait orientation. It's the last thing I have to do to complete my "album".
Two ideas I can think of:
1) Create multiple pivot tables and then display them one under the other
2) Create multiple measure columns such as "male_amt", "female_amt", "white_amt", "asian_amt", "black_amt", etc. for all the columns you need. Then you could simple stack them in a single pivot table.
Option #2 might give you the prettiest results - but also requires a lot more maintenance (for instance, if you reclassify ethnic groups, you'd have to go through the reports to add additional metric columns).
Hope this helps,

Caption under text wrapped image
I would like to place an image into a text block, apply text wrap and add a caption under the image. CS5, Mac.
Pardon my ignorance. This is my first time here. The question is how do I do it?
I place my image, add text wrap with enough space for a caption at the bottom. I type the caption as a separate text block and drag it into the open space where it just disappears. It used to work in CS2 but doesn't in CS5.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
