How can I add text "slides" between photos in a slideshow?

I'm making a presentation to a group. I want to use two or three photos, together, to illustrate a point (and be able to back up and go forward for clarity). But I would like a simple text (white on black background) announcement of what the next topic is, before showing the photos.
I have no idea what such panels/slides would be called, which makes it a little tricky to find them in the missing manual . . . or anywhere else.
Is it possible to do this in iPhoto? Or do I have to create the notices/titles/topics in another program (like Photoshop Elements) first?
Thanks up front. The presentation isn't for over a week yet, so there's time to play.

If you can create your slide in any text editor, Pages, Word, whatever, all you need to to is type Command+P(to start a print job) , then click on the PDF button in the next window and select Save PDF to iPhoto in the menu that appears. 
Click to view full size
This creates a jpeg version of the document and imports it into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to the slideshow.
With Pages and other apps that let you use a color background you can make very nice title slides. Even Powerpoint.  Make a PP page as a slide and then print that one page as I outlined above.  User the landscape orientation with any application you use.

  • 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?

  • 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.
    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.

  • In Pages how can I add text under a Photo and keep word wrap correct?

    Creating pages of a book, I'm having no trouble adding a photo to the body of the text and wrapping the text. However I want to add a description of the photo just below the photo, but have not been able to. The text box is not in the correct location and moving it around disturbs the adjacent wrapped text. Advice please. Thanks.

    You will have to use the text box. A lot will depend on how long the caption is. If it's a one-liner, I can usually deselect the wrap and squeeze it in the space between the picture and the main text. If it's several lines long you will have to use the wrap but you can reduce the extra space. Or try grouping it with the picture.

  • 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.

    how can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

    You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions,  either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
    If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
    Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

    How can I embed text box on photos?

      Did this software slow down the system in your experience?
    No, not afaik. It behaves like any other external editor. You do not need to have it running in the background all the time. Just activate it from the contextual menu after ctrl-clicking the image you want to annotate and select "Edit with plug-in -> BorderFX" from the pop-up menu (or Photos ->  Edit with plug-in -> BorderFX) .
    Corky02 really said it all - the only draw back is that this plug-in really is more like an export plug-in and the edited version will create a new master.

    You can only select one track via the slideshow button in the Photos app. If you have a long slideshow then you can start music playing in the iPod app and then switch into Photos and start a (no-music) slideshow.
