I want to include information such as the Title on each slide but cannot find this feature in Photos although it was easy to do in iPhoto.
When I use the Photos Help it just returns old iPhoto topics which do not seem to apply!
MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
You have to add the title to each slide manually in a Photos slideshow. There is no option to include them automatically.
Use the "+" button at the right side of the film strip to add a text slide. The text will be overlaid on the following slide.
It must be deliberate. It has been this way, since the new, more elaborate slideshow themes have been introduced, even in iPhoto an Aperture, and the system screensaver. Perhaps the designers are concerned that too long and ill-formatted text will spoil the design.
When I want to see the titles in the screensaver, I have to write the text directly into the photo using the mark-up extension.
We cannot add the titles automatically either in other kinds of Photos projects. When we are creating photo book or a calendar we cannot even open the Info panel easily to copy and paste the title onto the book page. None of the projects can use the metadata in the photos directly.
Sorry just found the Photos version of the topic with the information I need.
The ability to add titles automatically to photos in a slideshow is sadly missed!
Thanks Leonie. What a shame it can't use the info already entered into Photos. Seems sloppy compared to the old iPhoto.
How do I change the slideshow settings in Photos
