You can add captions at any time after you bring media files into Elements
Organizer. However, if you plan to use
captions in a flipbook, you must add a caption before making your project. Otherwise, the caption will not appear in
your media file.
Captions can be up to 2000 characters long.
1 To add a caption to one media file, do one of the following:
•
In the Media Browser or Date view, select a photo or video file and choose Edit > Add Caption. Type in the Caption
text box and click
OK. (You can also right-click and choose this command.)
•
In the Media Browser or Date view, select a photo or video file, click the General button
in the Properties panel
(Window
> Properties), and type in the Caption text box.
•
In Date view, double-click a photo to open it in Day view, and then type a caption in the Caption text box in the
lower-right corner of the workspace.
•
In the Media Browser, double-click a photo to open it in Single Photo view; select Details, then click the existing
caption or the text “Click Here To Add Caption.” Type the caption and click outside the text box.
•
In the Editor, open the file and choose File
> File Info. Type in the Description text box.
2 To add a caption to multiple files at once in the Media Browser, do one of the following:
•
Select multiple items and choose Edit > Add Caption To Selected Items. Select the Replace Existing Captions option
if you want to replace captions. Type in the Caption text box and click
OK.
•
Select the media files; then, in the Properties panel (Window
> Properties), click Change Caption and type a caption
in the text box.

Add a note to a file
Descriptive notes are an excellent way of identifying a media file and recording information that you don’t want to
lose. The Notes text box in the Properties panel lets you enter and view information such as personal reminiscences or
anecdotes about a photo. Keep in mind that you can only view notes onscreen in the Properties panel.
Note: The Date view has a Daily Note feature that’s different from captions and notes. A Daily Note corresponds to a day
in the calendar, rather than a particular photo.
1 Select a media file in the Media Browser or Date view, and choose Window
> Properties to open the Properties
panel.
2 Click the General button
and type in the Notes text box.
