    How did you create the captions? In iPhoto or Aperture?

     

    Any text you entered in iPhoto into the title filed and description field should be visible in Photos for Mac.  You will see both in the Info panel.

    If you enable Metadata in the View menu, the titles can be displayed below the thumbnails.

    However, Photos will not display titles that are filenames. If you used the filenames as the default titles, Photos will not show them as titles like iPhoto.
