Photo details and edits

Open a photo

Write useful public details

• Title: name the photograph when a title helps people identify or discuss it. A title can also contribute to a readable public photo URL.
• Caption: add context that is not obvious from the image, such as the place, event, subject, process, or reason the photograph belongs in the series.
• Alt text: describe the meaningful visible content for someone who cannot see the image. Write for accessibility first, not as a list of search keywords.
• Photo license: inherit the portfolio default for consistency, or choose an override when this image has different reuse terms.
• Custom rights statement: use only when the selected Photo license is Custom. ISO100 displays the statement but does not review its legal effect.

Review alt text and category suggestions

1. 01Review an alt text suggestionWhen Alt text is empty and a suggestion is available, read the proposed text. Select Use this text to copy it into the field, or Dismiss to continue without it. Existing alt text is not replaced.
2. 02Edit for the actual photographCorrect missing or inaccurate visible details and remove unsupported names, places, or assumptions. You can also clear the field and write your own text.
3. 03Review CategoriesRemove categories that do not fit, then select any clearly supported subject, genre or context, and technique or environment categories that are useful for the photo.
4. 04Save the photoSelect Save photo after reviewing the fields. If the photo is already live, publish the portfolio before expecting public output to change.
