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

I'm adding text to a photo.. Trying to get an S to lay down

I'm adding text to a photo and can't get an S to lay down?

I'm guessing on what you are trying to do, to some extent, but see if this helps. Your photograph will have a horizon, and perspective. For instance, if there are any buildings in the image, lines drawn through the top and bottom edges of the building, and extended to the horizon, will always intersect at the same point. If you lay down some guides as shown in this illustration, and overlay some perspective lines with a 1 pixel line, then use the resulting box to Free transform the letter S to.
It is _much_ easier if you Rasterize the text layer, because that will cause the Free Transform bounding box and handles, to fit tightly around the text. Otherwise the bounding box will be larger than the text to include descenders and risers for the font used.
So with guides and guide lines in place, and the text rasterized, use Free Transform, and hold down the Ctrl (Cmd) key will dragging the corner handles to the intersect points.
In the illustration I have made a nice simple concentric perspective, but that probably won't be the case in your image. But if you use clues from the image, you will be able to work out its true perspective. In fact I rarely resort to using guides, and just do it by eye.
A little tip when doing this is to make the object a Smart Object before using Free Transform. The reason is if you decide to tweak the perspective and use FT a second time, with an SO layer the handles will still be in the corners. A normal layer will now have the FT handles square to the document edges, which makes it much more difficult to refine the shape.
BTW Thanks for asking a proper, interesting, question about using Photoshop, as opposed to the usual 'My dog has eaten my serial number' posts.

Photoshop CC : Workspace Flashing Black When Inserting Guides & Completely Black When Adding Text

I recently bought Photoshop CC (2 Days Ago) and shortly after installing I jumped onto Photoshop CC and started to set up the prefferences for my personal use and started to just do some basic stuff and see whats new in CC. when inserting Guides & adding Text the workspace started to flash/stay BLACK.

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.

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.

Adding Text to a photo...Need help

I'm new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. I'm following the instructions for adding text to a photo, but I can't see what I'm typing. I can see the cursur, but nothing else. I can see the text in the Layer, but not on the photo. Please help.

Check the font size in the options bar. If it's really small you won't see it.
Look in your layer's palette and insure your text is in a layer located above the photo in the stack.
You might also check your image's resolution in the Image Size dialog. I've seen a couple of posts where someone changes the resolution to 1 with resample turned off...then can't see the text because it's too small even when they have large numbers inserted in the font size box.

Acrobat crashes whenever adding text

This occurs whether there is a text box to be filled in or using the add text function. There may be other things also crashing it but this is the biggest issue for me on my Mac host system. If I open the same documents in a Windows VM using Reader, I can enter text without difficulty.

I'm having a similar issue. Every third or fourth time I save after adding text Acrobat crashes with no meaningful reason (at least none in the crash message)...even though the added text is saved. I'm working through trying different text settings to see if there is a problem there. I'll post what I find.

Unable to print added text only in Acrobat Pro XI

User is trying to print added text that's been added to an existing PDF page. In Acrobat X she chose "Form fields only" under Comments & Forms from the Print menu. In XI it produces a blank page. The added text only shows up if she chooses Document or Document and Markups, but then she gets the entire document. She only wants the added text to print.

Thanks to all who commented here. I found that adding text using Tools>Content Editing>Add Text will not allow the user to print solely the added text. As everyone responded here, that's as designed. However, using Comment>Annotations>Add Text does allow the user to print solely the added text as she was used to doing in Acrobat X. I thought it was the same tool under two different headings, but obviously they interact differently in the print menu. Choosing Form fields only from the Print Menu's Comments & Forms panel will produce solely the text added under the Comment panel's Add Text tool without printing the rest of the document page. And the user doesn't have to turn the document into a form to do so.

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

Adding text to a photo in iphoto

How do you add text to a smart album photo? Also, when syncing to my iphone, I want the text to appear. I am building a tropical plant field guide.

iPhoto has no capability of adding text onto an image. For that you'll need a 3rd party image editor setup as the external editor in iPhoto.
Some Image Editors that support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free

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.

Added text & signatures do not print correctly

I am using Acrobat Reader v10.4.4 on my iPad Mini with IOS 6.1.2 and am having issues printing. I can open any PDF and have it displayed correctly. I can add text and signatures and the document is saved correctly because it can be opened after the changes are made and they are still there. When I try to print the document where I have added text and signatures to, the document does not print correctly. All of the text and the signature are shrunk to a very small size and appear in the lower left hand of the page.
I depend on my apps to work they way they should and having this issue makes my work very hard. I have to be very creative and perform unnecessary steps to get my PDF's to print the way they should. Does anyone have some insight in to this bug?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue. We would like to investigate this issue at our end and if you could share one such pdf file in which you are facing the issue at [email protected], that would greatly help us.
Thanks,

Hi,
I tried to add the text using the same piece of code at the place where i used to add straight lines.
The piece of code is exactly same as urs.
Shape3D tmpShape3D = new Shape3D();
PolygonAttributes tmpPolygonAttributes = new PolygonAttributes();
Appearance tmpAppearance = null;
Transform3D tmpTransform3D = null;
tmpShape3D = new Text2D("Hi ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", new Color3f (Color.red), "Arial", 30, Font.BOLD);
tmpAppearance = tmpShape3D.getAppearance();
tmpPolygonAttributes.setCullFace(PolygonAttributes.CULL_NONE);
tmpAppearance.setPolygonAttributes(tmpPolygonAttributes);
tmpTransform3D = new Transform3D();
tmpTransform3D.setScale(0.5f);
tmpTransform3D.setTranslation(new Vector3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f));
TransformGroup tmpSingleComment = new TransformGroup(tmpTransform3D);
tmpSingleComment.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_READ);
tmpSingleComment.addChild(tmpShape3D);
bgRed = new BranchGroup();
bgRed.addChild(tmpSingleComment);
bgRed.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_DETACH);
bgRed.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_WRITE);
bgRed.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_READ);
bgRed.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_EXTEND);
transsceneWF.addChild(bgRed);
Here every time i have to create a new BranchGroup (bgRed) for each Text i add. Earlier in this place i was adding my lines objects depending upon there start and end possition.This was just to test.Also it does not thro any error or exception while adding text nodes.
But i am not able to see any text. can u telll whats wrong in this.....
