I would like to find a program or service to be able to add descriptions to photos. In the old days we could write a description on the back.

Just sending multiple photos through an email prevents this.

I am interested in something similar to what you see in an online newspaper for instance.

Where they present multible photos with a description on the side.

Does anyone know of a service or program to beable to do this?

I have attached a screenshot of one taken from adn.com, as I dont yet know how to insert a screenshot into the body of a post.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Sid, I know that I can do that in my email ( Windows LIve Mail ) when I include photos. Will have to check around.

Hi Sid,

In Irfan View:

1. Open an image

2. Image > Canvas size: add pixels to the bottom

3. Make a selection there

4. Insert a text into selection

and you're done.




You may also, using $C , make IView show a JPG comment.

Hi, Sid. Sorry I'm getting to you so late. Personal reasons that I'd rather not get into here.


Actually, what you're looking for is built into the .jpg format. The technical term is metadata, data that describes what's in the file. In Windows Explorer, right-click a file and select Properties. Click the Details tab for all of the available metadata fields. The Comments field is a good one for a general description.

The information I gave you last month wasn't entirely accurate. Let me fix that.

the metadata field you want to alter is the firstone--Title. Once you're at the Details tab, point the mouse cursor to the blankspace to the right of the word Title.A field will appear in which you can type your description.

If you want to use the same caption for multiple photos,just do that en masse. Select all of the files in question, then do what I describedabove. All of them will get the same caption.

I'm not the only one who associates a photo's Title fieldwith its caption. If you enter a caption as described above, then view thephoto in Picasa or Microsoft's Photo Gallery, the program will display yourTitle as the photo's caption.

And that works the other way, too. Give a photo a caption ineither of these photo organizers, and your words will become the file's Titlefield. In fact, with Photo Gallery, they'll become both the Title and Subjectfields.

If you upload your photos to Flickr, your Title fieldtravels with it, and becomes a caption there, as well.

I appreciate all the replies, I will check them all out and report back.

I know I could do it in a Facebook photo album, but dont like Facebook at all. LOL

Thanks again.
