Add titles, descriptions, and more to photos using Photos on Mac
You can view and add information about your photos. For example, you can see the date and time a photo was taken, information about the camera that took the photo, and badges that indicate the state of the photo.

You can select multiple photos and add or change information about them all at once.
Tip: You can add text captions, dates, arrows, and other shapes directly to a photo using the Markup tools. See Use Markup to write or draw on a photo.
