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.

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.

How can I add text to a photo?

Is there a way in iPhoto to add text directly to a photo being edited? With my old PC I was able to add text with Microsoft dicital image suite software. Thanks.........Allen

Adding text to a photo is not a feature of iPhoto.
You can do it with
Preview - already on your machine
BorderFX - a free plug-in. (http://www.iborderfx.com/iborderfx/)
or an external editor.

How can I add Text to my photos?

I would like to add Text to my photos, save the image and upload to be printed at my local Camera and Print Shop. How do I do this? I have bought the lightroom 5 book (which is the version I have) but I only find how to add text prior to printing and not how to save the image and print elsewhere.

OK - so will a Watermark appear on the photo itself? Or - will it appear on the bottom (within the margins)? Example - I took some photos of a client's son. It was his 6 month photo shoot. I would like to put something like "6 Months Old" in the template of the photo. Not necessarily on the photo itself - is that possible. What am I doing wrong?

In aperture, how can I add text on my picture

In aperture, I want to add text ,or a messages to a picture, How can I do this?

What you seem to be referring to is Watermarking your photos. I offer a series of free PDF's on this issue including how to create watermarks in Pixelmator and add them to Aperture so you can export your images with a protective watermark.

How can I add text to a field based on XML tagging?

I'm fairly new to using XML in InDesign layouts, and I'm currently facing an issue getting a bunch of content from database records formatted in a print document (text that flows over dozens of pages). I've figured out how to create an InDesign template, but I need to be able to add text between some of the XML elements in two different scenarios:
1. Add text or line breaks before or after an XML element that always appears in the document. For example: Adding "Description:" before the XML-tagged description content, or adding a return after the last element in a list.
2. Add text before or after an XML element only if it appears in the document. For example: If there's a second phone number, tagged "Phone2" in the XML, then I want " or " to appear before it in the layout. Otherwise there's just one phone number and it continues on to the next piece of content.
I have tried inserting this text into the InDesign template, but keeping them means having to also keep parts of the template that aren't used on every import--so I have a bunch of "or Phone2" bits of text to find and replace afterward. That's OK, but I'd like a more elegant solution that doesn't leave potential mistakes in my layout.
In my preliminary research so far, it looks like an XSLT or scripting might be able to handle this, but I don't know where to start. Can someone tell me if what I'm looking for is possible and suggest the best way to do it? I'm going to have to trial-and-error a solution for this myself.
I am using ID CS6 on a Mac. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your reply. The line that you mention is added at the top of the message, and includes the original sender's email. I would like my name to appear, next to each line I add in the text of the original mail.
For example:
Assuming my name is Joe Smith, what I would like to have as the final reply is described below.
The lines that start with "[Joe Smith]" are my replies, to the original items in the original mail.

How can I add date to photos taken on my iphone 4s

How can I add a date to photos taken on my iphone 4s?

That's correct - Photos supports geotagging, but only allows viewing of that information. Once an image is in Photos, geotags cannot be added, deleted, or edited. This post suggests some apps for editing geotags outside of the Photos app. As you mentioned, you can edit the geotags in iPhoto, export to the finder and then import to Photos. I would guess (and hope!) we'll see this added in an update, and hopefully soon!

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.
Terence Devlin has provided a superb linked list here.
