  • How can i add text to photo in iphoto?

    How can I add text to photo in iphoto without having lion or mtn lion?

    You can't add text to a Photo in iPhoto. You need an external editor for that:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 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.

    I can't add text to photo. The Horizontal Text Box appears but when typing there is no text seen. There is a cursor line which appears outside the text box.

    Please change the size of text and make it smaller.

    You can't using iphoto. You'll need an external editor. Seasgore is free, Photoshop Elements is relatively inexpensive, Photoshop is very expensive. Graphic Converter may be on your machine already. Search on http://www.macupdate.com

  • How do I add text to photos using iphone4.

    My husband is a diesel mechanic and often needs to send photos of parts etc, it would be helpful if he could add text to the photo. doesnt need to be fancy fonts etc. just visable and adjustable.
    may need to add details like length, diameter, maybe arrows pointing to particular areas etc.
    I have looked at lots of apps, and havnt found anything simple and easy.
    Thankyou

    You cant on the native phone app, but heres one i found that might do the trick.

  • How to add text to photos[non slides]

    I can't find any way to add text to a slide except with slideshow or book page. Surely Aperture couldn't forget this. Anybody??

    Aperture didn't forget that -- it's outside its remit.
    Aperture provides powerful tools for two tasks:
    Digital photograph conversion and development (esp. RAW), and
    Digital asset management (a/k/a DAM).
    You might be able to do what you want with the free but full-featured Aperture plug-in Border FX.
    For true compositing (combining graphics elements, text, and geometric primatives), you need a graphics program.

  • Can't Add Text to Photo

    Using Photoshop Element version 8, I couldn't add text to my photos. I contacted Adobe support and opened a case and was put through a comlicated procedure to rename  my Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Prefs.psp which I did with no success. Then I was told to create a new user home because mine had probably become corrupted and if this didn't solve the problem to uninstall and reinstall the software. I did uninsall and reinstall the software but was afraid to mess with my user home which was working properly. I still couldn't add text. Then I tried this forum, read a number of posts. Then I read a post by (Tricia_Rouse). She wrote "if all else fails..First try resetting the Text Tool". First make sure the text tool is highlighted. Next go to the Re-set button to re-set this particular tool. In Elements 8 there is a nearly invisible donward facing triangle. Click this tool and then click "Resey Tool" It worked after I had spent the better part of 16 hours on this preoblem. I hope this helps someone. J_Beginner

    Thanks everyone... I am quite ready to shoot the screen too! And to have it happen on TWO computers on the very same day...
    I will try all of your suggestions...
    SaurabhGupta, I had thought of adding a new layer but have never done it before; now I will just do it.... shouldn't be too hard. I think there must be a place that says "add layer" like in Power Point, which I just taught myself.
    Alexander, I will also try typing in 200 size font.
    Barbara, I seem to be having trouble with both images, from my memory stick AND with photobucket, as well as images I've downloaded to "my pictures".
    I am also thinking about sending the image to tech support and seeing if they can figure it out. But in the meantime, I will try all of your suggestions to see what happens.
    I will be away from my computer till Thursday but will check back via laptop; won't be any way to access PSE till I get back.
    Thank you all SO much for your suggestions!! I so appreciate the support.

    Not with iPhoto. You can use Preview (already on your Mac) or an external editor.

  • How do I add text to a photo when making a calendar from iPhoto?  I see the text box for the dates but not for the actual photo...thanks.

    I can't find a way to add text to a photo once it's been put into the top pane of the calendar month...is there a way to do this since I'd like to add a descriptor to the photos?  I see the text box when you click on the calendar date, but don't find one for the photo pane.  Thanks for any assistance.

    Right - you can not add text to photos with iPhoto - you must use an external editor

  • Is it possible to add text to a photo in the iPhoto software?

    I am new to a mac computer and iphoto softward.
    Previously I used windowns with ACDC editing software that included the facility to add a text description to a photo.
    Is it possible to add tect to a photo in the iphoto software?

    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Xee 2.1 - free
    Watermarking apps can also add text to photos.  Go to MacUpdate.com and search for "watermark" to get a list of potential candidates. 
    Also Preview's annotation capability can do the job as Larry has pointed out:

  • Add signature to photos

    Hi,
    How add signature to photos in Aperture ?
    I had a picture file to make a watermark. But my background is white.
    Do possible to create a watermark with Text not picture ?
    Thanks

    The signature you are talking about is called (in English, in the User Manual) a "watermark".  Search the User Manual and this forum for instructions on making and using them.
    Your need is for a watermark file with a transparent layer.  JPG does not allow transparency, so you'll have to convert your picture file to PNG.  The easiest way to do this is to open it in the OS X program Preview and:
    Show the Toolbar ("View➞Show Edit Toolbar")
    Select the Instant Alpha tool (click the "magic wand" icon on the Toolbar)
    Click and drag a short distance in the white background
    Press and release the "delete" key
    Say "Yes" to "Convert to PNG"
    Save your file.
    Then use this file for your watermark in Aperture.
    The superb plug-in BorderFX does this automatically, and much more.  Recommended.  It's free, but it you use it, consider sending the developer some beer money.

  • Adding text to photo

    I would like to add text to photos - that is have the text appear on the photo itself. Can I do this with iphoto?
    Thanks, M.

    Not easily with iPhoto only, but Martin S. has directions for doing so here:
    http://simnet.is/klipklap/iphoto/adding-text/
    Rather easier is to use an external editor for the job: starting with free and working up:
    Seashore
    Graphic Coverter
    Acorn
    Photoshop Elements
    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.

  • How do i add text to my photos?

    How do i add text to my photos - previously you could do this on iphoto

    Many users find the excellent and highly-recommended BorderFX more than meets their needs.
    A couple of things to note:
    - "Photos" misleads us into an understanding of what we manipulate with our computers that differs from what our computers are programmed to manipulate.  Within Aperture, you have Images (called, imho confusingly, also Versions and also Photos); outside of Aperture you have image-format files that you see listed in the Finder and use in other programs.  BorderFX lets you overlay text and watermarks, and add borders, to Images in Aperture.  When you do this, a new file is created and automatically imported (it becomes a new Original).  You can also export via BorderFX, in which case a file based on your Image and the changes you've set in BorderFX is saved to the location (outside of Aperture) that you specify.
    - Adding text to an Image is a _graphics_ operation, and not a _digital camera file_ operation:  it is outside the remit of Aperture, which hews to being a photographer's non-destructive RAW digital camera file storage and development workspace.  You use Aperture to store, organize, and develop (make as good as possible for a particular use) digital camera files.  When you need a new graphics file, you (generally) export your Image from Aperture, and create new graphics files using a graphics program (e.g.: Photoshop, Pixelmator, GIMP, etc.).  Graphics programs are built from the ground up as compositors.  Aperture does almost no compositing.  BorderFX is a slick, purpose-driven compositing plug-in.

  • I have photoshop Elements 12 a and I can pull up the photo but can't edit it. Crop it. Add text. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.
