Adding text to a picture.

Hello, everybody!
I enjoy reading Apple Discussions a lot. Finally, I got the question I cannot find an answer for.
My mother in law needs to add text to a picture and then post edited material online or print it out. Does she need to use Aperture for this purpose or something else different?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You can't do this with iPhoto. You'll need an external editor such as Graphic Coverter, Photoshop Elements or Seashore , but there are any others. Search on MacUpdate

    Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated.  After the installations go to /Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file.  Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.  Your Preview issue should now be resolved.

  • Adding text to iPhoto picture collection for genealogy purposes

    I have over 1,000 old family photos that I'd like to label permanently with respect to year, people in the picture, location, etc. I know I can add a caption on iPhoto, but if I make a copy of the photos for other people in my family to view, how can I make sure that the text file comes up with the proper photo so that when they view it on whatever picture organization system they might have on their PCs (such as Picasa), they can see the details of the photo without a lot of effort. Is it possible to use a text watermark in this case? Or is there a simpler method that doesn't require that I open the photos into another editor like Photoshop? Please give me some suggestions! Thanks.

    Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. In the resulting window check the box at Titles and keywords and the Titles, keywords +and captions+ (tho' not explicitly mentioned in the export window) will be written to the metadata of the files, which will be picked up by any photo app on any system.

    iPhoto has no ability to put text onto a photo. For that you'll need an external editor. In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    _[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    [Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Adding Text on Pictures

    Hi, is there anyway I can use iPhoto 6 to add text on a picture?
    I've posted my pictures on my website and I would like to add my name on them to prevent it from being used by somebody else.
    Thank You in advance.

    JES:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What type of web site are you adding the photos to? Is it an iWeb or HomePage site or one you are creating yourself and uploading the photos manually? If it's the last then you can use a watermarking application to batch add your copyright notice on each photo before uploading to the site. Just go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for "watermark".
    All of the applications require you to have the files outside of iPhoto and work on a drag and drop basis. So you'll need to export those files you want watermarked to a folder on the desktop and then batch edit them there.
    You could use a 3rd party editor like Photoshop Elements or GraphicConverter and edit them thru iPhoto by setting it as the editor of choice in iPhoto's General preference section.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

    I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

    If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
    Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

  • Adding text to a photograph

    Hi,
    My question is in 2 parts really:
    1) Once the photos are uploaded into iphoto, is there anyway of adding text to the photo?  Say a title, or details of something about the picture that I wouldn't want to forget?  If so, how can I do this?
    2)My camera has the ability to add text to pictures.  If I did this, when I came to uploading them into iphoto, would the text come with the pictures, and if so, where would it be displayed?
    3)When exporting the photographs, to share with others or print, would I be able to disable the text, so it doesn't show on the photograph?
    Thanks very much.

    in iPhoto there are several ways to add information about a photo - a title - a decscription - keywords - putting it in an album = these are all metadata and local to your computer - you can choose to include or not include them when you export a photo
    if you want to actually put text on a photo then you must use a thir party program (Preview can do this - Annotate) or external editor - one you add text to a photo it is there and the old information behind the text is gone
    as to what you camera does - read the camera manual - if it puts text in the EXIF ro IPTC fields and if iPhoto reads thos fields then that information will be part of the iPhoto database - it it puts text directly on a photo then it is part of the photo

  • Adding Text Effects to Photos in iMovie 09

    I am making a movie in iMovie 09 from photos. I have 940 pictures with lead in effects and text over the pictures. I have not added music yet and am about half way through the 940 photos and iMovie will not allow me to add text to any more pictures. Is their a limit on how many pictures can be in the show? the movie is currently 1 hr and 10 minutes long. Possibly their is a time limit? Any suggestions are welcome.....

    blakespot,
    Make sure you click in the margin away from the main text body to avoid accidentally pasting or creating the text box inline.
    You can also select the text box and go:
    +Inspector > Wrap (3rd tab) > Object Placement > Floating+
    To make the picture and caption stick together, select both:
    +Menu > Arrange > Group+

  • Adding color to a picture frame

    I am brand new to Macs, and I have been checking out iworks. I am working on a blank page layout. I have added text boxes, and a photo from my gallery. I want to frame the photo, and have figured out how, using the inspector. What I can't figure out how to do is how to add color to the frame. Can anyone help me out?

    Hi Farmer Matt
    Welcome to the forum.
    fruhulda has shown how to change the color of simple strokes, however there are some frames you can not color change. Only "line" strokes can be changed, pdf files, jpegs, Photoshop and Pages' Picture Frames can not be changed.
    Check whether the frame/stroke you have in your file is a graphic or not by selecting it:
    +Inspector > Metrics > File Info+

  • Adding Text to Movie

    How do you add texting, besides titles to your iMovie.
    Also, is it possible to do a just a picture movie not like actual movies?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Not fully sure what you mean by adding text other than by titling. You could produce slides in something like photoshop with your text on, but I honestly believe that titling will do more or less all you want in this area (excepting special effect titles). If you want text over a black or coloured background, titling will do this for you, all you need is a black or other background.
    If by picture movie you mean a slideshow, then yes imovie can do this, you simply need to use stills rather than video. One note of caution though is that imovie can be a little time consuming with very short slides (say 1/2 second or less) under which circumstances other editing applications may be more suitable.

  • When is the iphone going to be able to forward basic text or sms pictures?

    I was one of the first to buy an iphone and could not believe that it did not have the standard function of pretty much all phones now of being able to forward texts or do picture text. However when i read teh discussion forums, there was so much uproar about it, I was pretty sure it would be sorted in probably the first software upgrade.
    Bizarrely this fundamental requirement has still not been fixed although we now have access to a whole host of useless if entertaining little programmes which have recently been added.
    Does anyone know if there are any plans for apple to bring the iphone into the standard phone technology era. Other than this I do love it.

    Until or unless Apple announces no one has any way of knowing what Apple will do in the future. Any one (Apple employee or insider) would be bound by non-disclosure agreement and could not tell.

  • How can I remove the underline from added text for tracing edits

    We have a lot of content that includes underscores and when we use the track text edit feature added text is green and underlined. How can I change the properties of the added text to not be underlined?

    Starting with FM11, you could specify a custom colour to be used for track changes, but the styles (underline, strikethrough) are still hardwired.
    Even if you try to make the changes to the rack text edit conditions in a MIF file, they will get overwritten as the MIF is interpreted when opened by FM.
