Is there an easy way of including title in picture

In exporting pictures I have chosen title, rather than file name.

However I would like that title to appear on the picture, preferably above or below the image.

Selecting File>Print and looking at the contact sheet is similar to what I want.

However, I am trying to export pictures to a folder on the desktop which I will then copy to a CD.

I would like the title to appear below each picture.

Appreciate any help.

iPhoto cannot do it, but you could try the BorderFX plug-in. This plug-in can put a border around the photo and add titles, dates, captions and other annotations to the photo, when you export images from iPhoto.

See: BorderFX - iBorderFX iPhoto

This appears to be just what I want. Unfortunately I couldn't install the app. I sent the following message to Border FX:

I have a mac mini running OSX 10.9.5.

I downloaded iPhotoBorderFX-1.8.4v406

and installed it.

Got message: Installation Successful

However, there is no iPhotoBorder application on my mac.

When I do a Spotlight search the only occurrences of "iPhotoBorder" is the dmg.

Please help.

Thanks,

Owen

Select a photo in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export

Is there a BorderFX tab in the export window, as illustrated in the Photo on the website? It's not a stand-alone application it's a plug-in for iPhoto.

The plug-in should be installed in the Library at the top level of your MacintoshHD:

Check this folder: /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/BorderFXExporter.iPhotoExporter/

Or the corresponding folder in your user library: ~/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/BorderFXExporter.iPhotoExporter/

When you use "File > Export" in iPhoto, you should be seeing an extra tab, just like TD explained:

I go it. Still don't understand why Spotlight search doesn't pick it up.

Thanks.

Spotlight search does not search inside the libraries, unless you start the search in the Finder from inside the user library or system library.

I find it easier to search with FindAnyFile, a very versatile application that is searching anywhere - also in the folders that Spotlight is excluding.

Download Find Any File here: The trial is free:
