Can I add a description to a photo?

Do you want write text into the photo or add a description that you can use for searches, Rachel?

• To add metadata fro searching select photo and enter the key combination ⌘I to open the Info panel.
• Then type a title into the Title field of the panel or and a description into the description field. You can also adda place, keywords, or faces names from the Info panel.

If you select several photos at once, that need the same description, typing the text into the Info panel will add the same title or description to all selected photos.

If you want to write text as graphics into the photo you need to use an external editor like Preview. The "External Photo Editors" extension will let you call Preview to add a text.
