What about sharing photo titles?

Titles I've given photos in Photos app on MacBook Pro are not included when sharing. Is there a work around?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

If you want to send someone photos with the titles added, save the photo to the disk with "File > Export > Export ... Photos". In the export panel enable "Include Titel ...".

If you compress the folder with the saved images and mail it, the titles will be included in the IPTC data of the image and the recipient will see the title when the photos are opened in Photos.

Photos is not using the titles you add to a photo automatically. You can only see them below the thumbnails in in the Info panel. When you want to see a title or description in a slideshow, in iCloud Photo Sharing, in a boo, or a calendar, you have to enter the title manually.

Thanks for your reply Iéonie. Followed your advice and will easily send the 255 photos with titles/location (IPTC) via mail or drop box, etc. Was surprised to find out "iCloud Photo Sharing" did not include (thumbnail) titles.


If only there were a way of getting thumbnail titles to be batch added to "Description".


Thanks again for your answer,

D.
