Back in 2006 or thereabouts I bought Lumapix Fotofusion. I used it for a number of years and then moved on to other projects. I used it primarily to create composites for sororities and fraternities, (I'm in a University town). I now have a need for it again and I managed to find the program on one of my archived disk drives. To the best of my knowledge I have the last incarnation of the stand alone version, (Version 5). The program is now a subscription and I have no desire to upgrade as I only need to use it once. One reason for using the program is that it easily will create a photo-composite for headshots. I have about 200 heads that I have to place. I did the photography with my camera tethered to my computer using Lightroom. Lightroom allows me to rename the camera file to the students name on the fly, so for example IMG-202.jpg is renamed to Jones, J.jpg in the exif file. This enables me to use a feature in FOTOFUSION that allows me to import that file data without the .jpg extension and put it into a text box under the corresponding photo. This saves a huge amount of time as I do not have to manually type in each name under the picture. I know how to access this feature and do this one image at a time but I do not remember the procedure for doing it on multiple images at a time. I know how to create text boxes under each image by selecting all of the images and pushing the text box button, but the created text box appears with the hint, "double click this text to replace it". If I do not clear the text box of the "hint" I get, "double click this text to replace it Jones, J". I have tried selecting all of the text boxes and doing a global delete so all that remains is an empty text box but have not been able to get it to work. Once the text box is clear all one has to do is select auto fill and the exif data is automatically placed in the proper box. If anyone can tell me how to do this please respond. Your help will save me a lot of time and typing.
Thanks in advance
