I use captions with my photos. But it says Figure xx by default, but I want it to say Photo xx. How can I do this?
So it would be for the first photo in the first chapter: Photo 1.1 rather than Figure 1.1. Then if there really was a Figure, I could use Figure.

Want to distinguish Photos from Figures in captions
The answer to the question depends on the document class used. If you're using a standard class, then you could deal with the 
newfloat package. If you use one of the KOMA-Script classes, read section 15.6. "Everything with Only One Command".

Do you know if it's possible to take the original caption macro of Alex Sommerfeldt and simply add the capability to replace the word Figure. It seems like an awfully simple thing - just parameterize the names used in the caption? I guess maybe that's the idea of newfloat?Bartman wrote:The answer to the question depends on the document class used. If you're using a standard class, then you could deal with the
