IMage captions

Post by sheena »

So i am writing a report and i am adding images. for these images , i am adding captions under each, but the captions are uppercase even when the text for the caption is in lowercase, i tried manually making them lowercase , still failed. How do i make the captions lower case?. and instead of figure 1 on the caption how do i make it photo 1?

Hi Sheena,

welcome to the forum!

That is defined by your document class, or your preamble settings. If you show us the preamble, we may say why, and how to change it.

Regarding the second question, you could use this:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Photo}
