Photo description box

How do I make the photo description box larger, more than 2 line long.
Without hovering the curser over the description box.

Unfortunately you can't.

IWeb and Aperture - Photo Descriptions - Help please?

When you drop photographs into a 'photo' page in iWeb it automatically places a title underneath the photo which is in fact the file name. I don't have Aperture (yet) but would using Aperture enable me to attach a "description to the file? If so, is it possible to include this description in the photo albums so that it appears when each image is presented in the browser? At the moment I am laboriously cutting and pasting 600 image descriptions from Lightroom and into iWeb. Surely there's a quicker way?
Thank you in advance.

Once you get your photos in to iWeb, you can highlight the thumbnail and the description under the photo which is the file name. Once the description is highlighted, type in what you want to say. If you click in between the thumbnails a control box will pop up and you can choose how many lines you want for your description. Once the the description is typed in, highlight what you just typed, then press the command key and "C" key. That will copy what you have highlighted. Press the Tab key and it will take you to the next thumbnail and the description will be highlighted. Next press the command key and then the "V" key. That will paste the new description on the photo. Once you do the copy (Command+C) you can go through a bunch of thumb nails fast by pressing the Tab key then the Command key and V key.
Hope this is the info you were looking for. You don't need Aperture to do this...it uses the file name too unless you change it in Aperture. You can change the photo description faster in iWeb.

Unfortunately, there aren't any XSL-FO gurus tracking this forum. You might have better luck posting to a forum dedicated to that type of discussion.

How can I automatically include photo descriptions when creating a book through iPhoto so that I don't have to type them all again?

I am scanning hundreds of old photographs onto my iMac and including descriptions when I import them to iPhoto. When I have created a book as a test, the photo descriptions are not automatically included. I don't want to have to add captions to the book I've created so how do I automaticaly include each description with the photograph?

There are no themes that automatically add descriptions that have been added to the photos. The Folio theme will pickup the file name and user name of the account
but not the description.

Photo descriptions not showing on Facebook

I thought the descriptions I give my photos would show up in Facebook when I share them. I'm not seeing anything in Facebook.

I too seek a fix for this iPhoto 2011 bug, but unfortunately it is now July 2011 and no fix appears to be forthcoming, despite of all the info on it in Apple's won forums. Therefore, the best I can suggest is that all reading this do as I did -- file a bug report with Apple at the following URL:
https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn
You just need an Apple ID and 5 minutes of your time. Be sure to generate an Apple System Profile report and upload that along side your bug report, otherwise Apple will just bother you about submitting it 3 days later.
And yes, it is important that you too file a report even though I have, since Apple seems to give priority to bugs based on how many people file the same report. You unfortunately cannot reference an existing bug report. You have to file a new report. But Apple keeps track of them and gives them priority accordingly.
In the meantime, until this bug gets fixed, we are forced to type photo descriptions in the photo TITLE field in iPhoto (which I agree is really frustrating because it is non-intuitive).

How to save the data present in the description box?

HI friends,
I have got a requirement where i am having one description box (custom_container) in one screen and the line length is 250. Code is like this...
DATA: CUSTOM_CONTAINER TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER,
EDITOR TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT,
REPID LIKE SY-REPID.
CONSTANTS: LINE_LENGTH TYPE I VALUE 250.
MODULE STATUS_101 OUTPUT........
My description box is working fine.....
here i want to store the data entered in the description box(text box) when i press SAVE.
Can any one provide me the solution.

Hi,
Since you are using the class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT, you can call its' method GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE to save the text in internal table.
If you wan ease the work of creating Z-Table to store them, you may use FM 'SAVE_TEXT':
SAPscript: Save text
The function module writes a text module to the text file or text memory, depending on the specific text object.
The module can be used to change existing texts and to create new texts. If it is clear that it is a new text, this can be specified via the parameter INSERT. The result is better performance as a test read is not performed.
Parameters
CLIENT
HEADER
INSERT
SAVEMODE_DIRECT
OWNER_SPECIFIED
LOCAL_CAT
FUNCTION
NEWHEADER
LINES
Exceptions
ID
LANGUAGE
NAME
OBJECT
Function Group
STXD
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,

How to include photo descriptions in iCloud sharing?

When I share photos to iCloud, I find that the online album (stream) does not include any photo descriptions I have added in iPhoto (or any other "metadata" for that matter). As a workaround I have manually added a comment to each shared photo, with the text description being the description pasted from iPhoto, but that's a huge pain.
Has anyone found a better way to include photo descriptions in their iCloud shared photo streams?
I know iPhoto (I'm using version 9.5.1) does export this info, because if you export a photo and view its attributes in Finder, you'll see the metadata. It's pretty annoying because if you spend time adding custom titles, descriptions, tagging faces and places, it would be nice for some of this to be included in photos you're sharing with friends and family.
Thanks!

I'll close this thread by mentioning the more drastic workaround I'm going with: not using iCloud for sharing when I need a lot of descriptions and other metadata. I'm planning to export from iPhoto, including title and keywords, and then post on Google+, which seems to read the metadata from the JPGs.
If you are going to export from iPhoto anyway, you can send the photos using the Photo Stream as well. When you are sharing via PhotoStream, the Photo Stream will transfer the EXIF and IPTC tags embedded in the original file. Only, there are two problems with the embedded EXIF and IPTC tags:
The way you are seeing the photos in the PhotoStream album is misleading. The Info panel in the Photo Stream view simply is not showing the tags that are embedded in the photo. The only visible metadata are the filename. You will see the embedded metadata however in the Info panel, when you import the photo from the Photo Stream album to an event.
And the Photo Stream will not add cations and titles to the shared images, that are not yet part of the original image file and only part of the edited version. But any tags embedded in the original file will transfer.
As a simple work-around to share the titles and keywords, export the images and use the titles as filenames. Then reimport and send via Photo Stream.

The RAW files I just downloaded on new MacBook Pro are designated as JPEG in the photo info box. Why??

The RAW files I just downloaded on new MacBook Pro are designated as JPEG in the photo info box. Why??

How did you download? Have you been using the Import panel?
How is the pop-up selector for the "Raw+Jpeg" set?
If you are importing raw+jpeg pairs, and you set this to (Use Jpeg as original), then you will see a little J on the thumbnail, otherwise a R.
Or did ou import with Jpeg only?

IPhoto 9.2 photo descriptions will not write - after a few letters words self erase!

iPhoto 9.2 photo descriptions will not write - after a few letters words self erase! Program update downloaded earlier today, 24.10.11. Fine on my laptop, but my desktop is having problems.

Rebuild the main library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Can you cure this problem ... no text cursor is available in the description box for step 4 of eBay.co.uk selling

I use XP Pro SP3 + Firefox 16.0.2
Since yesterday, when trying to sell an item on eBay.co.uk, no text cursor is available in the description box for step 4, so it is not possible to enter text.
However, text can be entered into all the other text boxes on the selling page.
For comparison, using Internet Explorer 7, text can be entered into that text box.

Photo Place Box

How do I turn off or get rid of that %$$#$@! little "i" in the corner of the thumbnail? Half the time when I try to open the photo I hit it and open the "Photo Place" box instead, and have to waste time closing it.

You don't. Click elsewhere on the thumbnail. That's what everyone else manages to do. If that's difficult, you know that you can make the thumbnails bigger? Use the slider lower right of the iPhoto Window.

Photo info box?

I'm using iPhoto. What do the two size listings (Mb) mean in the (i) - photo info box mean?

On my iPad in the iPhoto app I see MP (megapixels) for the photo's dimensions (width and height in pixels), and a value for the photo's size in MB (megabytes) for the amount of storage that it's taking up - is that what you mean ?

Photo Settings box

When I import a photo from the library, the Photo Settings box pops up momentarily before disappearing. Then, when I do a right click and select Edit Photo Settings, nothing happens. I am trying to remove the Ken Burns effect, but I can't seem to get to the Photo Settings box.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Wait.... just saw the box marked "show photo settings"

HI, I have a Canon Pixma MG5250 printer and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto. All my photos are in iPhoto but I can't access them when the printer's 'photo print' box comes up. Any suggestions? thanks

Hi,
I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8
I now have a Canon Pixma Printer MG 5250 and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto, where all my folders of photos are in the computer.
All other aspects of the printer such as scanning and printing documents are working. When I open the printer's
'photo print' box on my Mac, it cannot access iPhoto.
I would really appreciate any feedback and suggestions as to what to do.
thanks.

If you want to print a photo that's in your library you should do so from iPhoto. Select the photo, crop to the size you want to print and type Command+P to start the print process. In the Print window select the paper size and print size, printer and then click on the Print button.
