Hi there,

Is it possible to add a unique title to photos on a contact sheet.

At the moment all I can do is add the same title to every single photo.

I want to be able give them different labels?

Is it possible?

Thanks

Josie

    Do not use "Custom Text"- that field is 'Global' -0n every photo.

    Instead enter your Caption or Title in the Library Grid view Metadata Panel.

    In the Print Module you can then select from the  'Photo Info' drop-menu which field you want to show.

    Or even select 'Edit' and create a multiple label.  eg. { Filename : Caption : Title :  Exposure }

      Happy it is working for you.

      In my post I said "Do not use Custom Text".

      Not strictly correct, because you can use a "Custom Text" field if you Edit a Preset for your Photo Info.

      So that could be like-   {  Your Name : Title : Date  }  Where the Custom Text is "Your Name" it would appear on every photo with the Title and Date following.
