How does it is the prettyPhoto, by default prettyPhoto shows the “alt” as title and the “image title” as description.

Thank you, Mr. Sanches.
So now that has been established, is there any workaround to modifying the plugin without having it overridden on updates? Or shall I just block this specific plugin from being updated after I modify it?
Well you can remove the prettyPhoto and add a new lightbox jQuery plugin that you prefer.
You can remove using this code:
function my_custom_scripts() {
wp_dequeue_script( 'prettyPhoto-init' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_custom_scripts', 100 );

Unfortunately, that isn’t an option. The PrettyPhoto works very well for our purposes with the exception of the alt tag needing replacement.
Wait for 2.6 – titles/alt tags have been adjusted. otherwise you need to do template overrides yourself.

Is there an ETA on 2.6?
If not, how can I modify the jquery.PrettyPhoto.js to make the adjustments I need? I’m a newb at jQuery, so a solution would be helpful.
I plan on making my own version of the jquery.PrettyPhoto.js for my own theme, so I can preserve the original for updates.
Thank you.

Any update? Or should I be looking for another plugin?
Update? It’s already out…
Feel free to customise it if it’s not suitable. The template files which control titles etc can be overridden.

I guess I’m not getting the full picture.
Mike Jolley, you mentioned
“Wait for 2.6 – titles/alt tags have been adjusted. otherwise you need to do template overrides yourself.”
Then I asked for an ETA. You said
“Tuesday :)”
So is there an update or not?
If not, then I’m a bit lost on WHERE I need to modify the WooCommerce plugin so I can get the ‘Title’ to post on the top of the image when it pops-up in the Lightbox.
2.6 was released today, so yes there was an update.
This template outputs the title/alt tags for the single image if you want to make further tweaks https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/e39274e75391a186413da0bc5c217fa4c8bf2885/templates/single-product/product-image.php

Thank you, Mike.
Unfortunately, this did not ‘fix’ the issue I’m having. I still see the ‘Alt’ text at the top of the image and NOT the TITLE as I’m trying to accomplish.

That does nothing.
Please look on this page: http://www.tempest.us.com/product/shadow-blackout/
Click on the product image (the large one).
The ALT tag on top should be a TITLE, not an alt. Therefore, where in WooCommerce do I edit to post the TITLE of the image (from the image’s meta) there?!
Apparently its a prettyphoto thing to show alt there. I look forward to replacing PrettyPhoto with something else.
For now https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/e39274e75391a186413da0bc5c217fa4c8bf2885/templates/single-product/product-image.php#L31-L34 as I said can be swapped round or you can set both to the TITLE. There is no way to make prettyphoto show the title instead of alt I can see without editing the actual prettyphoto scripts, which is something not advisable.
