Including a date in a photo caption and being able to use the search function for the date

I have included both a text and a date as part of the photo caption on each of my photos. When I have attempted to search for a specific date or year, however, nothing comes up. For example, if I search for my photo on "Fido 1985", I can find Fido, but if I simply enter "1985", I get nothing.

Use Find >> By Caption Name or Note menu option for such a search.
Thanks

Photo captions in iWeb

Greetings,
I'm just creating my first site using iWeb but I am having trouble with photo captions. I am using a blank template and inserting photos into the text with a wrap round. that's fine. However, I can't work out how to put captions under the photos. I've tried using a text box but it won't drag up close to the photo,because some of the handles remain white and the text on the page moves away from the box so it looks bad. . I've searched through help but can't find an answer there.
If anyone has any thoughts I'd be grateful

Your problem is that you cannot follow instructions even when they are spelled out.
The instruction is not to DROP an image on the textbox, the instruction is to PASTE the image in the textbox.
UPDATE:
Here s a picture.
1. A picture
2. The picture in the textbox with a caption.
3. The picture in the textbox with a caption inside a textbox with your text wrapped around it.

Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7 - Photo Caption problem in Book Module

Using Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7, I have produced a 76 page book in the Book Module with multiple photos on most pages, but two photos were not showing their captions, and did not print same in a proof PDF print run. I had the photo captions in the Meta Data, but have subsequently entered the pertinent photo caption via Custom Text from the left control panel, and also directly into the photo caption print box without success. I have changed the photo size, without a successful outcome, but when I did an auto cell fill of the photo the caption appeared within the photo, but disappeared when sizing was reduced back. I have exhausted all help avenues at this stage.

Thanks for your input and efforts to assist. I have resisted removing and replacing, as the 1966 passport photo has a lengthy (approx 60) adjustments showing in the history, as a result of its age. Hence I think that I will just have tolerate these somewhat minor, I suppose, aberrations and just send it off to Blurb as is, as restoring so many old photos to a more presentable print status has taken me 3 months as it is.
I don't understand why this a problem. You are removing a page from the book and adding back again. You are not removing the photo from the catalog, therefore you would not loose you are adjustments. Books are just another way of rendering photos.

Photo cutlines / photo captions

Greetings.
I discovered an easy css technique for laying out pages with
photos and captions -- cutlines in newspaper lingo:
http://max.limpag.com/2006/10/15/better-photo-presentation-in-your-website-in-2-easy-steps /
I didn't see captions or cutlines in any search topics here,
so I thought I'd add it.
If anyone else uses a different technique for photo captions,
feel free to add it to this thread.

Cannot Change Photo Caption in Lightroom 2.3

I am not able to get Lightroom 2.3 to change the caption of photos taken with a Sony A100. The caption reads "Sony DSC." All of my efforts to change this caption to something else have failed, including use of the "Save Metadata to File" command. While the program initially reflects a change or deletion in the caption at first, when I navigate away from the photo and then return, it always reverts to "Sony DSC." If someone can suggest a different approach or a workaround it would be much appreciated. Note that this does not seem to be a problem with Photoshop Elements 6. I have not yet tried to see if I can make this change in Bridge yet. Thanks.

I have given up trying to find a solution in LR. It stubbornly overwrites "Sony DSC" on every photo I import and wipes out all changes I try to make in the caption field. I have not found a direct fix in LR, causing me nothing but frustration. But I have found a workaround which sounds complicated but is really quite simple. The key is to import via the import utility in PS Bridge rather than with the LR import dialogue. You wipe out the description field which contains "Sony DSC" in Bridge. Then you synchronize the folder in LR. Problem solved. Here are the steps for Windows users.
Step 1: Create a Custom Template in Bridge. (a) Go to Tools - Create Metadata Template; (b) In the "Create Metadata Template" dialogue box: (1) under the "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" tab, place a check in the box next to "Description" and leave the field to the right blank (make sure no other boxes are checked); (2) under the "IPTC Core" tab, place a check in the box next to "Description" and leave the field to the right blank; (c) In the "Template Name" field replace "Untitled" with "Clear Sony DSC" (or whatever you want to call your template).
Step 2: Import your photos with the import tool in Bridge (the key is not to import with LR).
Step 3: (a) navigate to the newly imported file of images; (b) in Metadata view click on the top image in the folder and shift click on the last image in the folder to select all; (c) right click on one of the selected images and click on "File info . . .; (d) In the dialogue box that appears, click on the down arrow next to the "Import" button; (e) one of the options should be "Clear Sony DSC" (or whatever you named your template), click on that: (f) an "Import Options" dialogue box will appear, with three choices. Choose the first of the three "Clear existing properties and replace with template properties." (Note this will only overwrite "Sony DSC" in the description fields of the metadata and leave those fields blank and will not overwrite any other metadata.); (g) That will return you to the File Information dialogue box. Click the "OK" button at the bottom. Bridge will now take some time overwriting the description fields in the metadata attached to your images.
Step 4: Go to LR. In the Develop module navigate to the folder in which this new folder of images was placed by Bridge. In the top menu go to Library - Synchronize Folders. Lightroom will now capture this folder of images in your LR catalogue and the attached metadata but thankfully not the troublesome "Sony DSC", so you should be free to edit the caption field in LR. Do not use "Import Photos from Disk at this seems to recreate the problem and results in duplicate images.
Let me know if this works for you.

IWeb photo captions published via ftp?

I'm new to iWeb - are photo captions published via ftp now that MobileMe is defunct? The info in Publish Site says no. As I wish to use photos purchased and downloaded from a stock agency, they must be captioned with the photographer's name. I can work around this by acknowledging the photographers in a list above the Album I've created rather than under each photo (if this proves to be acceptable to the stock agency), but this isn't ideal. Thanks for any advise you can offer.

Captions added to the images inside a photos template are published no matter where you publish your website.
The number of caption lines is chosen in the photo Grid popup window...

IWeb Photo Captioning from Aperture Metadata

I'm not sure if this should be under iWeb or Aperture. I use Aperture 2.1 and iWeb '08 2.0.3. In iWeb I have albums of photos from Aperture. When using the media browser for adding Aperture photos into iWeb, the standard nomenclature is for the iWeb caption to use the Aperture 'Version Name'. Since iWeb can be set to have more than one caption line, I was wondering if there was a way to map Aperture metadata into the multiple lines of iWeb photo captions? As it is, any additional iWeb caption lines have to be added manually. Can this additional caption information be added automatically?

I'm banging my head on this too.. I prefer to use iWeb for several reasons: one is that I publish to a non-Apple webhost; and I prefer the editing capabilities of iWeb vs Aperture/iPhoto -- plus the templates are more varied.
It's hard to believe that Apple doesn't provide this extremely basic capability. I've noticed other threads on this & it doesn't seem that it's possible.

How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
Let me rephrase my problem:
I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying and pasting each photo caption.
Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12

Use of Aperture captions

Although there are several posts about how to make iWeb use the caption field for a photo coming from Aperture, the help documentation clearly states that iWeb will use the caption field if it is populated. I made sure the caption field was populated but iWeb continues to use the filename. Is this truly a bug in iWeb or is the iWeb help documentation simply incorrect?

The following is listed as a "tip" item when "photo captions" is entered as a search in the iWeb help (see the last paragraph; there is more but I didn't include it as it was not relevant):
Tips on sharing photos from Aperture with iLife
Aperture 1.5 offers full-size previews of images that can be used with iLife and iWork '06 or later. Here are some tips on getting the most from it:
How to access images from Aperture in iLife and iWork
Make sure you have iLife and iWork '08, or the latest versions of the iLife and iWork '06 applications:
iPhoto 6.0.5
iMovie HD 6.0.3
iDVD 6.0.3
iWeb 1.1.2
GarageBand 3.0.4
Keynote 3.0.2
Pages 2.0.2
iTunes 7.0.1
To update from previous versions of the iLife and iWork '06 applications, from the Apple menu, choose Software Update.
You will also need to update to Aperture 1.5. If you have a previous version of Aperture installed, Software Update can also be used to update to version 1.5.
To browse Aperture images in iLife and iWork '06, you must first enable sharing in Aperture. Details can be found on pages 161-162 of the Aperture User Manual. To view the shared images in iLife or iWork:
Select the Media pane in one of the iLife/iWork applications.
Click the disclosure triangle next to the Aperture icon in the browser window.
Click the disclosure triangle next to Aperture Library to access images in Aperture's built-in Smart Albums or Smart Albums you have created at the Library level. To access images from specific projects, click the project's disclosure triangle. Click on the icon for individual albums or Smart albums within projects.
Handling of Stacked Images
When you browse Aperture images in the iLife/iWork Media pane, you may notice that there seem to be fewer images than expected available there. This is because only the pick or album pick image from each stack in Aperture is shared with iLife and iWork. When you browse images from an Aperture project or built-in Smart album, the pick image from each stack will be available. When you browse images from an Aperture album, then the album pick will be available. If there is no album pick specified, then the pick image will be used when browsing albums. Smart albums you create offer the option Ignore stack groupings. If this option is selected, then all images that meet the criteria for the Smart album will be available in the Media pane, regardless of stack pick status. If you find that you need access to more than one image from a stack in an iLife or iWork application, then drag the non-pick image from the stack in Aperture, or access it from a self-created Smart album. Note that it may take some time before changes made to stacks in Aperture will be reflected in the Media pane.
Labeling of Aperture images in the iLife/iWork Media pane
If the Caption field for an image in Aperture is filled in, then this is what the iLife/iWork Media pane will display. If the Caption field is empty, then the Version Name field will be used as the image label in the Media panel. . . .

Globally changing selected parts of photo captions

Is there a way to make batch changes to parts of photo captions? Something like "find and change" in word processing software.
For instance, I accidentally had the time setting wrong on my camera so that AM was PM and vice versa. I would like to change the AM to PM without affecting the actual time associated with images. This will be very tedious if I have to do it manually...

Hi Dave,
Oh, so you have been appending the batch change entries -that explains it.
The "Title" field can be batch changed like any other field, only you have to find and to select a suitable Metadata Preset that contains the "Title" field.
I have changed my presets so often, that I am no longer sure, if one of the standard presets contains this field, but you can easily define your own preset, containing all fields you want to edit.
In the Metadata tab of the Inspector Panel set the "Metadata View" selector to "Edit",
In the "Metadata Views" panel click the cogwheel to add a new view and name it,
From the right column of the panel add the "Title" tag to the new View (this tag is located in the IPTC -> Status section of the Metadata Fields.
Then use this new preset in the "Batch Change" dialogue.

Léonie

How do I link Photo Title and Photo Caption in iPhoto Book

When using the yearbook template in iPhoto I have found that the Title is not linked to the photo Captions are linked most of the time, so if I move a photo I have to reset all the titles. How can I link them?

hi Jim,
Are the titles that are not moving ones that you gave the photos while you were in the book mode?
I was just wondering if you gave the titles to the photos in the library view if it would work differently.
Ok, I just tested it. Before you make the book, give all the photos the correct titles and comments if any. Now highlight that album and choose to create a book. The titles and comments will move with the images this way.
I also tested an image that was already placed in the book and it had a title that it was imported as. I changed the title in the library view, went back to the book and moved the photo. The title that I just gave it in the library view moved with the photo.

Placing a "photo caption" in a object style CS4

I having trouble making a photo caption on a object style that I have built.
I work in the print industry and we deal a lot with ag equipment and sales. We build magazines and brochures and like to keep them very consistent so we have a build an object box that we use for all our photo frames. We have also built a paragraph style that we use for the equipment description (photo caption) that goes on top of the picture. This is a tedious task since we have to line up every photo caption right on the inside edge of the pictures stroke. Sometimes we don't line it up right if we are in a hurry the photo caption is off the edge and exposing some of the picture or off the edge into the white space.
I wanted to make it so every object style was consistent and that every photo caption was correct so I experimented with the object style options. I found that I can use a paragraph style and set it up perfectly:
But then when I place an image into my object box, my paragraph style is cancelled. I cannot figure out where to go from here. Does someone know how to get this sort of object style with paragraphy style to work?

A frame can contain an image or it can contain text, but not both at the same time. You need two frames (or a bit of trickery -- Dave saunders wrote a script a few years ago that would take a caption and seemingly put it into the same frame, but it was really grouping two frames and putting them both into yet a third one, if I remember rightly).
Are all the images and all the captions the same sizes? If so, you could use a snippet or a library to store a paired image and caption frame with all the styling attached and the positions set.

Photo Caption Length Limit?

I like to use sometimes lengthy [probably 2-3 sentences max] captions with photos, and can't find a way to do it with iWeb.
There seems to be a built-in limitation, regardless of text size/placement. I would rather avoid the blog idea where you have to show one picture, then write your text, then show another etc., as I want to post galleries of pictures.
Any suggestions? I haven't found a service yet with .mac or anyone else that seems to allow editing of galleries for placement, and yet also long enough [more than one sentence on average] captions.
Thanks!

Thanks for the specifics--and I tried that...but short of making the font so small it's unreadable, I don't think that works. As for captions being...well...captions, let me give you an idea what most photo captions are like length-wise:
"German midfielder David Odonkor, left, and forward Lukas Podolski pose as they celebrate with fans at the 'Fan Mile' in Berlin on Sunday July 9, 2006. Thousands of German soccer fans celebrate their team after Germany beat Portugal 3-1 at the third place match of the soccer World Cup on Saturday."
Breaking up the photos so that more text can be entered inbetween doesn't then tie the specific caption to each photo. It just seems pretty obvious to me--and simple, in terms of programming--to allow the user to set how big [in character numbers] we want the associated text to be, instead of just the apparent rudimentary space they allow now.
After searching for a program that would allow this--from iDisk/.mac to Flikr etc., I thought iWeb would be the answer--but apparently not.
When Apple touts itself as being so photo-supportive, with all of it's software--I don't know why none of the applications supports more than minimal text per photo. They've advanced to photo-casting, etc., but if I want to attach what I deem to be regular-sized captions, I have to resort to the very old-fashioned, time-consuming embedded email methods to send them out to others.
