Cross-referencing pictures - show picture not its caption

Question

I have Picture X.Y:Photo1 and I am using

\label{pic:Photo1}

and

\ref{pic:Photo1}

to reference it. The outcome is something like: ...which you can see in picture X.Y. When I click on X.Y it is supposed to display the Photo1, but there is only its caption on top of the displayed part of page and I have to scroll a bit to see the picture itself. I want the picture to be shown right after clicking on the reference. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. In your case I guess you are using \usepackage{hyperref}. Adding \usepackage{hypcap} after it should solve your problem then. — Mike, Apr 27 '17 at 22:25
Hello, Mike. Thank you very much for your answer, however, \usepackage{hypcap} somehow did not help, so I searched the internet for information about this package and found command \usepackage[all]{hypcap}, which solved the problem for me. And next time I will post the MWE. — Lucy, Apr 28 '17 at 10:42
A brief explanation: \label uses values set by the last \refstepcounter, which is called by \caption and automatically by hypcap. You could just use \refstepcounter{figure} instead of \caption. — John Kormylo, Apr 28 '17 at 14:06
@Mike Would you like to convert your comment into an answer? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 29 '17 at 22:14
@samcarter I don't know, the answer is incomplete, the question is a duplicat (just checked), it doesn't feel right to do this. — Mike, Apr 30 '17 at 20:21
@samcarter see href to an image label - how to jump to the image instead of the caption below the image? and its duplicate Link to picture, not to the caption. — Mike, Apr 30 '17 at 21:17
