How can I insert text in a photo?

How can I insert text onto a photo? Before Lion used Command T. Have not installed Page or Numbers. Have Microsoft for Mac.

Open the photo with Preview and select ⌃⌘T.

Use smaller photos.
Seriously, reduce the file size of the photos in Preview, PhotoShop, iPhoto or other application before inserting tehem into the Numbers document.

Depends to some degree on what iPhoto version you are running but on the whole this covers most.

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.

How can i put text across a photo?

how can i put text across a photo?

You'll 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 insert text on an image via IPhoto?

I am still learning about my IMac and primary use for it was mainly for my photo images. At the moment attempting to build a new website via IWeb and as part of the site will be numerous images. However, when making up the albums, I wanted to have text on my images but alas on the face of it I cannot see how this is possible as part of the existing IPhoto software - could any member advise how it can be done?
My alternative at the moment is to use Adobe Photoshop on my Windows based Laptop, insert text on the image, save and then upload to my IMac into my Album - mmmm a bit long winded to say the least! Regardless, thanks in advance.

You can learn to do this with the Preview app already on your Mac.
Open Preview. Make sure that the Annotate button appears in the Toolbar. If the button is not already there, select Customize Toolbar from Preview's View menu. Drag the Annotate button (the pencil) to your your preferred location on the Toolbar.
Open a photo in Preview, press the Annotate button and use the Annotate tools to add your text. You will find instructions on annotating files and documents in Preview Help in the Help menu.

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 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 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 put text on individual photos

I would like to put text on some of my photos,,,,How?

Aperture really isn't designed to put general text on an image.You could cobble something together using the Book interface but I don't think it would really be a suitable solution.
You'll need to look into using a plugin, BorderFX is a free plugin that many users her (including myself) have used. It does what you are looking for and works well.

How can I insert text in Pages so it flows to the next page?

I try copying a block of text into Pages but it cuts off at the end of the page instead of flowing to the next page. How do I fix this?

You have probably started with a Layout mode template instead of a Word Processing template. See the sidebar in the Template Chooser for which is which.
Alternatively you may have pasted an object (possibly from the Internet), not text into a Word Processing template. Click inside the object and copy the text, then delete the object and try pasting again.

How can I insert text to the right of the right hand indent?

I need to format data in a text box so that the data is separated into three columns defined by tab locations. The data located at the second tab (column) has varying lengths so that at times it needs to wrap. I need to have the data wrap before it gets to the next tab (third column). What I am trying to accomplish can be done in Microsoft Word by setting the tab to the right of the right hand indent. I can also get the look I am trying to achieve by using a table but because the data I am using is coming from a database the interface will not allow me to use the table function. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks

The way the data is served to the InDesign document. The data can only be flowed into a text box. It cannot be flowed into a table. If I can find a way to solve my issue then the data can be placed on the page using a style instead of flowing the data onto the page and then having to cut and paste it into a table.

How can I insert large text captions in photos?

How can I add viewable captions to photos? I often send reports with a number of photos attached in a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Standard. I would like the text comments in the photos to be viewable as soon as someone opens the adobe pdf file and looks at the picture -- without having to click on a little icon. In other words, the text would be embedded in the photo, and large enough to read when you first see the photo. Thanks for any help you can give.

Photo editing software makes more sense than Acrobat because you can extract the EXIF comment or description. But one could use the "text Touchup" tool to add text to the PDF. Standard does not provide a lot of scripting options unless you add the JavaScript Console Debugger.
