Hi everyone,
We (WLM Malta) are working on a small exhibition at a local arts centre where we will be exhibiting (on a number of screens) all Maltese WLM 2016 entries together with the top 10 from each other country that participated in WLM 2016. Unfortunately, we are finding it extremely time consuming to individually caption each photo (author, name of photo, country etc.) using Photoshop or other photo editing software.
Does anybody know whether there is any tool or batch processing application that would help us process this quicker or somehow facilitate the process? Or any other tips on how to make this process smoother?
Thanks for your help! Neville
Hi Neville,
I'm not aware of any tool you can use for batch processing this. If no one else comes up with a tool or code you can use here, feel free to create a spreadsheet, add a few columns that you need to be filled, and share it with us. Some of us may be able to help you fill it out. For example, doing what I /think/ you want to do for 4-5 countries is not very hard for me. I'd be happy to help.

Hey Neville,
I've heard that for this kind of tasks, typically a tool like Powerpoint is surprisingly useful. You can re-use the text fields etc, and only have to copy & paste some things. The slideyou can set to the exact format of your expected print. Another option is Publisher, but this is less likely to be available. Both are non-open-source products though - I haven't used their open source counterparts very recently.

If you can write some glue code, you can get individual image data from my experimental API, author, name, description, etc. https://tools.wmflabs.org/magnustools/commonsapi.php
