Captions

When you upload a photo, the file name is used as the caption. You can change the caption to a descriptive title or phrase. In "Add/Edit Photos," select the "Rename Photos" link. It's nice to have a descriptive caption to accompany a photo in the slide show. In addition, the caption is used in the "Pick the Caption" brain exercise game, and a descriptive caption works much better for that purpose.

Photo Options

There are a few system settings for photos that you can change. To see the settings, in the Photos Module, click the "Options" button.

  • Photo Refresh controls how frequently slides change on the system's digital slide show
  • Show Photo Captions controls whether the caption is displayed with the photo on the system's digital slide show
