Hello
I have name people in a photo in "Photo" ; the photo represent a lot of member of my family many years ago
I would like it to share this photo with all the names to all member of my family having Mac or PC.
How can I export this photo !
This a small "screen copy" of part of the image (me in 9/1977)
Screen copy is not a very good solution because the resolution is poor.
Thanks in advance for your help

There isn't a way to export the photo with the name tags at the full resolution.
You could duplicate the photo and then write the names directly as a graphic overlay into the copy, using the Mac-up tool. Then export this copy with your own added text to share it. Use File > Export at the full size.
How to use the Mark-up Tool is described here: Use Markup to write or draw on a photo in Photos on Mac - Apple Support (CA)

this is a good suggestion for Apple. This is the place for it:
And face names can’t be exported. There is no metadata standard for cataloging names with coordinates. I include names as keywords, but those must be alphabetical. And I include the names in position order in the caption, which does export in the metadata of the picture.
I would take a screenshot of the full photo, Cyril.
Convert the saved screenshot to a JPEG using Preview, then share the screenshot with all the names using Mail.
Hello Leonie
Thanks for your answer.
As I have said "Screen copy is not a very good solution because the resolution is poor. "
The photo is in Jpeg, is in landscape and has been turn to portrait
If there was a solution to send the photo in it's original format, it will be great.
Best regards

A method I have used is to just sent two copies: the original high resolution image, and a screenshot with names. It reminds me of some old family pictures I have from relatives that have a xerox copy attached with names under each person.
Of course, the usual method for old prints was to put the names on the back. Now I scan front and back of the pictures, and in some I've made a double wide copy showing the front and back. I can duplicate and crop that into two if needed.
Hello Richard,
Thanks for your answer.
This Family picture contains 30 members ; and a dog ! sitting on a staircase, so everybody is squashed
I had a lot of difficulty placing the names in "Photo" because of the background of the label that is taking too much room.
It's a pity there is not a strait way to export the picture with the names and to be able to have names in white (or a in defined colour) without the background rectangular label
PLEASE Apple ! can you improve "Photo" ?
I have to try to send it to another Mac user to see if the names are still there. I will take your idea for the PC users.
Thanks
Best
Cyril
I have done it this morning.
More we are asking for it, more there is chance they do the improvements.
This is the text I have post :

Hello
It will be great is you could give the possibility to add the faces names defined when you export a photo.
if you could add the option to suppress the label behind the name defined and you could give the possibility to define the colour of the names
Thanks in advance
Cyril
