How to label or title individual photos

I notice when I receive individual photos from friends, underneath the thumbnail is a text such as "Grandpa, 1975" or "Vacation-Grand Canyon 1987". I have laboriously titled all my thousands of photos (within Photos), but when I send individual photos to friends they typically show under the photo, "IMG_7400.jpeg" ... only occasionally does the title show under individual photos I send. What do I need to do to get my titles to automatically appear under individual photo thumbnails I send?


Thank you,

HDP

The "Img_xyz.jpeg" are the filenames of the original files you import to photos.when you add titles to a photo, these titles are added to the new versions of your photos, but the original filename does not change.

To turn your titles into the filenames you could select the photos you want to share, then use the command "File > Export > Export ... photos" and then use the filename preset "Use titles as filenames". This will save new image files in a folder outside of photos, and the files will be named according to the titles you added.Then select the photos in the folder and attach them to a mail to share them.
