Tx for your response which was very useful. With regard to ‘My Pictures Library’ and captions I will try to explain it better I originally used my now very old version of Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6) to catalogue and caption all the photos I wanted to hang onto since 1969. I scanned in about 3000 slides and hundreds of prints in the process of doing this. I can't remember the details exactly but I lost the Photoshop 'tly' back up when I inadvertently re-formatted a hard drive. I then had a situation where my PSE 6 catalogue became corrupt and I had no Photoshop back-up to use to recover the situation. (Isn’t it is always thus!) I knew I had both copies and backups of all the actual images in my 'My Pictures' library so I could recover all the images. But my heart sunk at the prospect of having to re-caption everything. However, when I imported all my original images from my 'My Pictures' library into my PSE 6 organiser I found to my delight that all my captions were still intact! I investigated further and found that my PSE6 generated captions had ended up in the 'details' area of the image in my 'My Pictures' library. (I'm sure you know this but just be sure you understand me - go to a picture in 'My Pictures' hit 'properties' and then 'details' and that's where you'll find the caption data in the case of an image that was captioned in PSE 6.) This is not the case with captions originated in Lightroom, even when you export the image. ( I haven’t checked if this is the case when the captioning is done in the web-browser, but I suspect it will be the same.) What I like about this - i.e. having the caption copied into the 'details' of the original image - is that if ever I fall out with Adobe or they go bust or something - I can recover my images and their associated captions from my 'My Pictures' library if ever I have to! I guess it's to do with the fact that in PSE 6 it is the edited image that is saved back into my 'My Pictures' library, whereas in Lightroom the original image is unaltered. Also it may have something to do with the way I had decided 'My Preferences' under 'Edit' in PSE6. I had ticked the following boxes (either that or they were the defaults). 'Use last modified date if EXIF date is not found' 'Import EXIF caption' I have just tried an experiment. If I caption a photo directly into the 'details' tab then import it into Lightroom then the ‘details’ become the caption. This is not a particularly user friendly way of doing something when you have just bought an advanced product. But I guess it's a workaround of sorts. Thanks for the tip about Loupe view and captioning on the web browser. The more I use and learn about Lightroom CC the more I like it. It's a really good product! Mind you at £20 per month for life (if you want access to it) it is not cheap so it had better be good! (Hmmmm! If I live another 20 years and keep it going it will have cost me £4800! Assuming they don’t put the price up!) Captioning does seem to be weak area though and I hope they do go onto improve this. Especially, when I am spending £4800 with them. Finally, thanks again for your helpful response. Cheers Mark
