I installed "About This Photo" module and place it the SideBar. Once the photo is opened it shows the Photo Information. Where do i update information for the specific photo: Captions, Tags, Date, Time , etc? Thanks |

Do I have to install or activate something else in order to have "About This Photo" module working. I have a problem figuring out how to use this module. Where exactly I input photo info: Name, Caption Tags etc.
Thanks

The name and caption fields are read from the image IPTC. Name is read from IPTC "Object Name", although different IPTC editing software often uses different names for some IPTC fields. The module assumes that the image has IPTC embedded in it when you upload it to your gallery, and that you have the IPTC module enabled. If you have your tags in the keyword field then I think that these are read in as tags at import time.
If you want to input name and caption after upload then you would need to edit the module to read the image title and description. These are image properties that Gallery holds about all images. If you find the menu link "Photo Options | Edit Photo" you can input these fields plus tags.
My approach is to have gallery import IPTC name and caption and keywords into title, description and tags when the image is imported.
Date and time are read from the image EXIF. You need to have the EXIF module enabled so that the module can find these fields.

Edit: I've edited the Codex to make this clearer.

Is there a way to manually add tags, name, caption to this photo after is uploaded.

There is the captionator module.

As I said above, you can do this one image at a time using the menu item "Photo Options | Edit Photo". As Dave pointed out, you can edit these fields for multiple images using the Captionator module.
But if you want to use "title" and "description" in "About this photo", you'll need to edit the code.

Using the menu item "Photo Options | Edit Photo" after the photo is uploaded will only let me update: TITLE, DESCRIPTION, FILE NAME, INTERNET ADDRESS. I don't see where else I can add or change tags here.
Somehow I activate Photo Count in the Photo Description, located under the photo, which is followed by the author of the photo. What module I activated and it is possible to make this font larger. http://www.arhivaimages.com/Architecture/Bridges/AB-001

I also have TAGS in this dialog. You must not have a module activated. It sounds like the tags module, which surprises me, as I thought it was activated in the default install.
This link doesn't work for me. It sounds like the Info module.
