Re: How to add alt tags to images??

Many images have automatically generated alt tags, but having owner-generated custom alt tags per image would require custom coding and a new database table/field to store the information.

It actually has nothing to do with your image editor; Zen Cart creates alt/title tags for images displayed via its zen_image() and similar functions, based on the context of the image (product name, category name...)
