Add Text as Meta Data to Images (Photo Manager Deluxe)

Former user wrote on 8/16/2022, 1:48 AM

Hi there,

is it possible to add Text to Images? Like i have an Image with a House in it and i would like a text added like "This house was in Paris". I do NOT mean the function where you can set Text right INTO the Image (which is hardcoded). I mean like an extra Meta Tag like the Categories or Rating.

Thanks :

Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.

Have you tried right-clicking on the image, going to Properties (bottom of the menu screen that opens)? It includes an option, under Contents, called "Text in" (see the image below)

Does this do what you want?

Yes, but this function seems to write Text into the Image. Shortly after i applied this "Text in", Photo Manager asks me to save this modification stating that this will be permanent. But thats not what i want :) I want to store a text as Meta Data just like the Categories or so. Thanks.

Hi

. . . . this function seems to write Text into the Image . . .

For me it creates an overlay in Photo Manager, however it is not permanently inserted into the image

The dialog entry box to use is the Title option as shown below

The text will also appear in the Title column when you browse the file with Windows File Explorer as shown below - you may need to add the column to the Details display in File Explorer.
