Question

I have 7000 photos. Lots of family photos. I want to export my finals and ideally have the caption print, even at the bottom of the photos. Think about the old days where someone finds an old photo, turns it over and there is writing on it. I actually want the caption on the bottom of every photo. I ahve yet to find any software out there that does this. Any thoughts?

I would use the LR/Mogrify2 plug-in for that.

    Thank you for that advice. I did try it and I get an error "LRMogrify2.lrplugin/LRMogrify.extras/mogrify: Bad CPU type in executable"

    And it fails. I am not sure if it's the version, or the latest OS update. It sounds like it will do the trick though once I get it going.

    You can use LrC Print 'Print to File' to get an export of your images with metadata shown. Here's an example of print the caption.

     

    Be aware that the information is overlayed on the bottom of your picture so you lose some pixels.

    What I started to do instead was to create a Slide that contained the information about the picture. This I now put on the back of each print. Here's an example

    I have not had to try and print 7000 labels
