PHOTOS: how do I add the description to multiple pics?

In iPhoto there was a Batch update function so you could set the Description for multiple selected photos at once.


Where is this in the new Photos app?


I want / need to be able to save the "story" that goes with a selection of pictures. There may be several groups in one day with different stories. how can I do this without going through them all one by one?


All comments appreciated!

Hello OT

Thank you for all your hard work providing us with these batch change scripts, but (There is always a but ) no matter which script I use I get the the Following error Photos got an error: AppleEvent handler failed. and this is highlighted set the name to input & "-" & ntext as text .

I am running Photos Version 1.0.1 (215.65.0)

OSX Yosemite 10.10.4

MBP Retina late 2013

I have a feeling it is not a problem in the script more of a problem in Automator and the way I may have set it up. If you have any ideas OT then I would be really grateful as this batch change thing is really bugging me


Thanks Alan
