Hello,
Apologies is this topic is already addressed. I am new to the software and currently using a trial version.

My need for the software is due to 5 trunks full of photo albums. Most of the pictures are well curated but the information for the photo is written on the back. I want to be able to show the front of the photo by default but be able to toggle between front and back somehow. Is this possible without having to have to completely separate photos?

Thanks!

Hello Jahroo,
There is a plugin Back2Front that presents this feature. Have a try.
But you will have to add 2 pictures, one for the back the other for the front.

Personnally, I do not use it any more. I prefer to display the back below the front, in the description. And I do not display the back in any album : it can be used in the description, but never as standalone.

Here is an example of what I do :(it's not the back, but the photo and its comment in the family paper album)

Thank you for the response. It's hard to see how that's structured since I'm not familiar with the layout just yet, but I will reply back once I am and try it out. Thanks!

Update: your method works great. Front2back does not seem to work at all, it might need an update. Thanks!
