Digital Photo Processing

Provide Descriptions for Photos Placed Online

SUMMARY: Describe your digital photos if you place them on the web for those who normally have picture viewing turned off.

If you decide to place your digital photos online, such as on a personal webpage or blog, it is desirable to give your photos text descriptions. A website viewer may not know exactly what they are looking at, and some people may be viewing websites with images turned off for speed. If they like your description, they may manually view a particular photograph.
