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.

  • 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.

  • Add a Caption Under a Photo

    Using Elements 9, how can I add a caption with names in a blank white space under a photo of a group of people?

    One way is to use the Crop Tool to add add more space under the photo.
    (i used a sample photo from the pse 10 samples folder)
    1. Select the Crop tool and set the background color in the toolbox to the color of the added space you want.
        I used white in the screenshot below.
    2. Draw the Crop area around the whole photo.
    3. Pull down on the bottom middle handle and then hit the green check mark.
    4. Use the Type Tool to add your caption.

  • 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.

  • Iphoto is refusing to duplicate a photo. Why?

    I have done this before many times with no problems, but tonight iPhoto will NOT duplicate a photo: it is one of my own. I have tried closing and re-opening the program but no luck. I have treid revert to original (which it will do) and then duplicating, but no!

    With my setup it takes 3 seconds to duplicate a 3MB file in iPhoto. A lot will depend on the processor speed (we're the same) memory (again the same) and free space on the HD (I've got much more than 20G). My Mac, however, is a G5 and that may be the difference.
    Do you Twango?
    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • 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.

  • IPhoto converts RAW files to JPEG when exporting - why?

    When I click and drag a RAW photo out of iPhoto it converts it to JPEG no matter where I send it. How do I keep it in its original RAW format so I can edit it in Photoshop? I have iPhoto 8.1.1.9(419) and OSS 10.6.2. The RAW photo file was captured using a Canon 7D.

    Some more info for using Photoshop with iPhoto (applies primarily for editing jpgs and not RAW files)
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • Need to add caption to each photo

    When creating slideshow, I want to add a caption to each photo. I can do that in Photo Story 3 for Windows from Microsoft. Can't find a way in in Lightroom 3 or 4.

  • Book  1.) show no metadata under the photo, 2.)add caption/text under photo

    Currently the Photo name is shown in the book under each photo. 1.) I would like to hide this information for printing. I played with the setting "enable/disable plate metadata" , but it has not impact, it shows the data no matter what this setting is.
    2.) At the same time I would like to add my captions under selected photos. How to do this?
    Thank you

    Hi Peter,
    1) For printing, I would delete the plate metadata completely. Go to Edit Layout mode, then click on the metadata box and press delete.
    2) To add captions, again go to Edit Layout mode, click the "Add Text Box" button - this places a text box on the page you're working on. You can then drag this box wherever you like. To add text, double click in the box and type away. To format your caption, click the Edit menu, then select Show Fonts. Just make sure the text is selected before you try to change the size or font.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am getting an error when trying to add a caption.

    I get the following error when trying to add a caption to a photo.   "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc.  The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media."    I am running Windows 7 Pro.   The files are located on my c:.   The drive has 274 GB Free so space isn't an issue.   I have tried deleting a file and readding it to the same catalog and still the same problem.   I have copied the file to the desktop and cataloged it from there and the error went away.  
    If i check on the folder attibutes it is set to read-only but the desktop folder is as well.   If i try to remove the read only it only resets itelf to read only again.   Once i get the error another file shows up with the image name plus -edTM P-1 and it has the caption on it.  

    I was able to get it to work.  The root folder which held the pictures had a lock on it through windows 7.   Even though the drive was shared, I still had to go into the folder properties and share it with everyone.   Once i got the lock off and rebooted I was able to add captions again.

    Yes you can use the Description area in the panel on the right. Just type where it says "Add a description...'.

    Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
    I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?
