Web Gallery Captions

Using the Bridge CS4, in Windows XP,
what is the simplest and fastest way to include a caption or a title or the filename for each of the pictures of a web gallery when it is displayed on the browser?
Thanks

Unless you are able to modify the Code, do what I did and go for one of the many free gallery generators which are much more adaptable than Adobe's rather limited options.
I use Web Album Generator – http://www.ornj.net/webalbum/

  • How to add Web Gallery captions in Bridge CS5

    I am creating a photo album (web gallery) in Bridge CS5 but there doesn't seem to be a way to add captions to the photos. I don't want the File Names to appear, I want to be able to choose several photos to have captions which I will type in. Is there a way to do this? The web gallery template I am using is Left Filmstrip.
    Thanks!

    Will the Airtight template let you put in a separate caption for EACH photo, or just one caption that goes on every single slide?
    What third party software would let me add captions...I need something fairly easy to use.
    Thanks!

  • Web Gallery Captions get lost

    Love web gallery - spend time typing in all the captions to inform family and friends, wait for the upload, watch all the "pending" signs disappear, and then see the captions disappear once it's on the Gallery site.
    Any ideas?
    What am I doing wrong?
    Do I need to speak to my machine nicely?
    Please help - thanks.

    Julian:
    Others have had that problem also. A work around is to use this script to write the comments to the Title. The title is displayed in the web galleries. When you want the file names back just use the "Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name" menu option.
    NOTE: Before compiling the script in Script Editor remove the one occurrence of the character Å in the script.

    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Web Gallery captioning

    I'm putting together a web gallery.
    When I try and select from the Metadata Set drop down menu, Caption and Keywords, I get the Name, Caption and Keyword.
    Is this a bug? or am i doing something stupid. I Only want the caption and keyword to appear.
    Is there a work around, is it is a bug
    Thanks

    When published to a web gallery that information is not added to the file but to the slideshow files. The only time that info is written to the files is upon export with the checkbox selected to add Title and Keywords and Comments.
    Even if the metadata is written to the files at the time they are imported into iPhoto, the files that get uploaded to the iDisk have that metadata stripped out of the file.

  • How to add title/caption to each image in Bridge web gallery

    Hi,
    I am creating a web gallery within Bridge and I want to add a title and caption to each image in my web gallery. How do I do that? The only thing I see is the Site Info. section and that adds a title and caption to the entire web gallery (including each image) and I want different titles and captions for each image. There must be a simple way to do this I just haven't figured it out yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Thanks Curt Y for your help. The thing is I have to use only Bridge. I looked up this problem on http://www.experts-exchange.com/ and they said it was not possible to add titles and captions for individual images (slides) in a web gallery in Bridge. They seemed to imply that this was overlooked. So I input what I could based on what was provided by Bridge and turned it in. Thanks to all who viewed and replied to this post. I appreciate it.

  • Web Gallery Slide Shows:  Music and Captions an option?

    The title sums up the question. Can web gallery slide shows (on my .Mac account) be made to look and sound like the slide shows i'm running in iphoto - with captions and audio?

    Mark:
    You can get the captions to be displayed in the web gallery by running this script to move the description to the title field before you publish the gallery. After the gallery is published you can change the title back to the file name with the Photos->Batch Change menu option.
    Have you considered using iWeb to create a photo page/slideshow and add the music to it. Here's a test page of such a setup. Be sure to read all of the comments on the linked page as there's a minor error noted in the script that is easy to correct.

  • Different caption for each photo in web gallery

    When you take your selected Photos from Library  to WEB is it possible to have a different caption for each photo. If I select 1 photo from the import and change its caption using the caption popup in the "Image Info" pane all the image captions change even the unselected ones.
    How can I change individual photos so that they will have individual captions in the web gallery?

    You should change the caption metadata field in the Library module. Go to the Library module, select the image you want to change the caption on, in the right panel, scroll down to the metadata section. Make sure that the popup to the left of metadata is set to "default" and you should see the standard metadata. Simply type your caption here. Then, if you've done this for all your photos, go back to your web section and make sure you set the caption popup in the image info section back to "caption", which will use the info in the caption metadata field for each photo automatically.

  • Needed:  variable weblinks in flash web gallery title & caption fields

    I know that one can put a fixed URL as custom text into a LR flash web gallery title or caption fields and simply click on that field in a gallery and go to that website. However, that URL is fixed and shows up for all images in the gallery. I would like the ability to have that URL vary by image. That is, I want to be able to setup custom text for a title or caption gallery field that inserts an image's certain metadata value(s) within a URL string. E.g., have LR web gallery custom text of the form:
    click here for foobar
    result in the browser going to URL held in the current image's title metadata.
    This almost works now (LR v1.4) ... Such a custom text title displays correctly. And if I left click on it and choose "copy link", the correct URL is in fact there. Unfortunately a right click doesn't take me there as it would if the custom text was a constant URL string, instead of having one or more embedded image metadata tokens.

    whoops, I didn't know that my post's example custom text string would be interpreted as a hyperlink :>) Here's the example text without the enclosing "a brackets".
    href="{title}">click here for foobar

    #A href="{title}">click here for foobar#click here for foobar#/A#
    where "#" = enclosing html brackets
    and where {title} is an image's LR title metadata (e.g., "http://www.foobar.com")
    Left clicking on such a custom field should take the browser to webpage whose URL is held in the current image's title metadata.
    This almost works now (LR v1.4) ... Such a custom text title displays correctly (i.e., just an underlined "click here for foobar"). And if I right click on it and choose "copy link", the correct URL from that image's metadata is in fact there. Unfortunately a left click just doesn't take the browser there.
    This capability would be useful for providing image info which either won't fit (e.g., extended caption info) or is technically not easy to place (e.g., a dynamic *.mov pano view) on an image's web gallery page.

    Just a comment about the web link in general -- Make sure your URL link actually works in the live /internet world. I have found that it doesn't. It looks great on your computer but when you actually build the web gallery, the link doesn't go anywhere.

  • How do I type captions to the photos my friends send to my web gallery ?

    Web gallery is great...yet can I add captions like I did with my own photos?

    Once you refresh your gallery in iPhoto and get the externally added photos to show, just change the title in the web galley and republish. The online photo will be changed to what you entered in iPhoto.

  • Add Captions to each Image in a Web Gallery.

    Adding captions to each individual image in a gallery is one of the most common things people do with web  galleries, not to have this capability is very odd.  What gives?

    thanks i realize that there are free & great products out there that will work i'm just irritated that i pay 2 grand for an adobe cs bundle and they don't supply us with something as standard as a simple way to put captions in a flash web gallery.

  • Captioning and Keywords NOT retained on download of photos from Web Gallery

    I noticed that the CAPTIONING information for photos on a web gallery ARE viewable while on the web gallery page(clicking on info), but are NOT included if you choose to download the photo. Not seen in the photo on download by viewing EXIF info, or "get info" from the Finder, nor available if I reimported the downloaded photo back into iPhoto 8.
    Am I missing something regarding the way to store information. I had uploaded a lot of photos with important information for family members downloading embedded in the captioning??
    BTW, the keywords ALSO were not downloaded or retained.

  • Adding captions to photos for web gallery

    I'm creating a web gallery for my web page and I'd like to add a caption to each photo and not show the file name.  I've got Bridge CS4 3.0.0.464 and would like to use either the 'Filmstrip' template.
    Can't figure out how to add captions.

    The only way I found to do it was to apply the Caption Maker script from Russell Brown before creating the gallery.
    This puts a caption on each picture.

  • Using captions (or, hiding file names) for Web Gallery with Aperture 2.0

    Is there a way to add captions to pictures displayed using the Aperture 2.0 web gallery without changing the actual file name? I'd like to keep the file name but add a caption to each photo if possible.
    Thanks

    Hi John
    I'm not making extra versions for this, just using the version name as the name in the web gallery. If you are not already using the version name then it lends itself to web gallery naming nicely. If you are using version names already, perhaps reconsider how necessary this is to you as you are tying up this other potential use.
    My file names all contain a date and index number but I try and use more 'user friendly' version names if part of my final output will be for web galleries. This is good for clients as they don't have complicated names to order, but it's also a cinch to find the files using the search bar in Aperture.
    Hope this helps

  • Aperture Caption & Web Gallery

    hi everyone,
    I'm just beginning using the web galleries with Aperture.
    Personally, I beleive that the best text to be shown beside each pictures would be the Caption field but someone at Apple have decided otherwise that this should be the picture file name. For me, file name are simply automatic numbers from my camera while I enter pertinent information in the Caption field.
    I know, there is no way of setting this. *But today, I found that when I go into the RSS view of any gallery, beside each picture, I can read my Caption!* That's so weird of not being able to set this in the gallery view. I will ask for this simple but quite usefull feature of being able to set which information we want to show on picture...

    hi Bauhausler,
    I see... but you are talking about Aperture's web page while I'm talking about Aperture's web gallery. While the first one is a static web page, the second is using a more dynamic interface that can be used with .MAC. That's a new feature in Aperture 2.0.
    Besides, this option of the T icon is EXACTLY what I would exept to have for Web Gallerie. It is still surprising for me that Apple haven't implemented this feature in both ways of publishing.
