iPhoto printing w/ filenames

mercphoto

Was wondering if there is a way to do this that I am not aware of, or if I need to try a different package. When I tell iPhoto to print a photo, I want the option to include the file name or title under the photo. This isn't so big a deal if printing just one per page, but if printing in the "n-up" mode, or especially in "contact sheet", having the filename makes it much easier to find a photo again.

Was photographing a kart race this weekend in Austin and spent some time looking at the other photographer's booths while I was there. One guy would print contact sheets of that day's photos. About four across, about 6-7 deep per page, and under each was a file name. Racers could view the contact sheet, then order by file name. Very convenient. Would love to be able to do the same thing.

Try the iView Media or iView Media Pro demo. It will do this. It's also faster and more powerful than iPhoto. For the few things that you NEED iPhoto for (ordering a book) just import those few photos you need for it.

I use iView Media Pro. In the print options checking "Print view field" will put the filenames under the photo. Not sure why it's labeled like that, but there you go.

If you migrate from iPhoto to iView, you'll have to take care to export the names that YOU labeled the photos, as iPhoto uses it's own screwy naming scheme for the actual files on the drive.
