Try this: 1) Site Actions -> Site columns -> Create -> Create Multiple lines of text (Rich or Enhanced rich) -> Ok. 2) Go to your Picture library -> Picture and Library settings -> In content types area click on Picture content type -> Add from existings site or list columns -> Select and add your multiline column -> Ok.
