Please welcome Tim to Scan Your Entire Life, this is his first article here. Not only that, Tim was very generous with his time and was willing to document each of the steps in the post below for anyone who's interested in following along.Įven if this isn't something you would want to take the time to do for every photo within your entire collection, it's still possible you may want to do this with select ones. So when Tim Stenzinger wrote me one day and said he was experimenting with a way of using Photoshop to do this very thing, I was very interested in finding out more about his method. It's not that it's that hard to write applications that do so, it's probably just the programmers don't think you care much about photo captions, so why spend the time coding it.

I've written how to do this in four of the best programs in an article called “ The Best Way to Add a Description (Caption) to Your Scanned Photos.”īut, for a select few, you still may be wishing there was also a way to record this information as real “visual” text that could be shown with each of your photos - like it was almost part of the image itself as seen in the image at the top of this post.Īnd I can understand this wish since currently it's fair to say many photo viewing applications you may wish to use aren't even capable of displaying your embedded captions when typed into this captioned (metadata) field. This insures that it will stay embedded inside, within the metadata of your master images, and can later be accessed by any other application that is written to utilize it. For most people, I still think the best and easiest way to preserve the description of what's in each of your archived photos in your collection is to enter this information into the reserved caption or description field using a photo managing program or editor.
