I have about 1000 old photos I need to scan and share with friends. Before burning them to disc, though, I'd like to post them so people can comment on the provenance and/or people in the pics. What I need for this to work efficiently is to have these comments entered as folks peruse them online, and have them automatically saved with the photos. Ultimately I want these (edited) comments saved on the disc -- so that when anyone views a pic, the comments come up with it. Can anyone point me to an app or service that can help me with this?

    You may need to be a bit more specific to help find a specific solution. To do that you may need to think about this in a few steps - Posting & collecting comments, Associating comments to its image, Presenting the image on a disc. For example, regarding the type of disc you want, is it a CD, DVD? Is it to be read on a computer? PC? Mac? Both? Or, is the disc to be read on a DVD or Blu-Ray player attached to your TV? In regard to presenting the images, is it like a multimedia show? cf "comments come up with". etc. - So, the more specific, the better folk can respond. – B Shaw Jul 30 '14 at 08:05

    This should probably be 2 questions. How do I collect the tags/comments and how to get them onto disc (which may be better for audio/visual than photography.SE) – James Snell Jul 30 '14 at 10:52
  • Posting & Collecting Comments -- I want comments that people make while perusing the photos online to be saved with the photos so that as I prepare to burn images to disc, I can easily review and edit them as appropriate. 2) Burning -- My idea was to burn the pics to DVD, and have the comments show up as essentially captions as people brought up individual pics. But I'm open to suggestions, especially if it allows easy use of captions.

  • This might be a duplicate of What are the best sites to share photo galleries with friends? - You haven't told us why you want to share the photos on discs. Why not just leave the photos on-line? – Håkon K. Olafsen Aug 01 '14 at 08:03
  • These pics represent the first wave of a family archive of at least 6000 photos. So the idea is that saving them to disc for distribution would allow family members to have their own copy of the archive. – gilonik Aug 01 '14 at 14:53
  • I don't think your going to find software or a web site that does exactly what you want. To my knowledge, there isn't web-based "get comments first" software that can archive a library of photos to disk. There are PLENTY of ways to share photos online for comment...however you'll likely have to handle the burning of the images, and their companion comments, to disk yourself. – jrista Aug 19 '14 at 20:05
  • People flagging this question: it is clear what he is asking, and this is not a duplicate of another question. However, the request is very specialized. – TFuto Aug 29 '14 at 10:46
