How do I add simple text to a photo? For example, if I took a photo of a chalk board and wanted to add a date via Lightroom making it look like it was written on the chalk board, how would I do that?

I simply need to know how to do this. Everything online talks about doing this as a watermark feature or during Export only. I need to know how to do this during the Develop stage, if it's possible.
I took a photo of a couple for a pregnancy announcement shoot. We added a chalk board that had the date the birth is to take place written on it, but it didn't show as well when I reviewed the first couple pics. So I erased the chalk board thinking that I could just add the date via Lightroom, but I have been unable to figure it out. Any help would be very much appreciated.

To create a graphic watermark or identity plate for this purpose with a hand written chalk look you would need Photoshop or Elements to create a transparent PNG file so you might as well do the whole thing in one of those programs to start with. You can't do this in the develop stage anyway like you requested.

How to make a rasterized word look like it was written with dirt?

Im trying to make an image where this word looks like it is written in dirt on the sidewalk. Iv' already taken a pile of dirt and created a clip mask out of it but it doesnt look natural enough. How do I do this so it looks realistic? And this is a graphic not font and I am using photoshop cs6. Thank you.

I'll just add a little footnote to the above, while I'm thinking about it. One problem with layer styles - especially complex ones like Bevel & Emboss, is that you have limited control of the different aspects of the effect. I didn't use Bevel & Emboss in the above example because the highlights were too strong, and made it look wrong.
A way round this is to right click the effect and choose 'Create layers'. This breaks up the effect into one or more layers, so you can reduce, say, the highlight without effecting the shadow.
I think if I was trying to do a stand out job, I'd use a finer font, so it looked like it had been drawn with a stick, and I'd use a combination of Bevel and Emboss layer style to get the depth, but I'd also use JJ's idea of a displacement map clipped to the text layer, to roughen the edges realistically, and add texture to the bottom of the indented text.
An alternative is to find a suitable texture, and save it as a Pattern. That would make it available to use as a 'Texture' in the Bevel Emboss sub options. The beauty of this is that the texture works very much like a Displacement map with depth and lighting effects. In fact, I think that might be the easiest way to go about it.

I purchased an upgrade standalone version of LR and yet the app indicates I have a trial version and I must remain logged into my account. It looks like I was given the CC version. Yes?

I spoke with a sales person requesting the upgrade standalone version of LR 6.0 - NOT the CC version. I received the email, clicked the link and downloaded LR. After installing LR, a message on the main screen indicates I have so many to register my application even though I entered my new license number AND I must remain logged into my Adobe account or LR will be deactivated. It looks like I was given the CC version any way. Is this true? or am I missing something?

How do I recover a file what was written in the 'notes' app that I have accidentally deleted?

If you have an iTunes backup or iCloud backup containing that note you can restore from that backup.
If you have no backups the note is gone.

I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

Hi j2399123,
It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files

And for screen recording specifically, there's

I have anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
Take a look.

This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

HT1391 I had all of my music on an external hard drive that failed. I have iTunes Match so all of my music was synced with the "cloud". How do I now download and save all of my music back down on a new external hard drive?

I had all of my music on an external hard drive that crashed. I have iTunes Match so all of my music was synced in the cloud. How do I now re-load my music back down onto a new external hard drive?

Hey Rbe58!
I believe this question can be answered by the information in the following article:

Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.

If a trackpad replacement is about $100, why am I forced to buy an entire board? I was not told the entire board was a single unit when I bought it.

Hi Clinton,
I'm aware its one unit and needs to all be replaced, but my issue is that I didnt know the computer would be similar to the macair late 2010 where an entire board needed replacing. I never would have bought it.
Never would have bought what? The Mac when it was new?

What care policy are you referring to? AppleCare? Also, how did the trackpad get damaged?

I plugged my macbook pro into an external monitor, then unplugged it later and now it is stuck with black borders on top and bottom and zoomed out like it is still on the monitor. How do I fix it?

I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.

Hi aefulcher,
It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.

Check if the current resolution matches your screen's natiive resolution.

Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this?

Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)

This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

In numbers '09, I have 24 numbers and want to add 89 to each, with 24 distinct results. How?

In numbers '09, I have a column of 24 numbers and want to add 89 to each, with 24 separate results in a new column. How?

HI t,
Assuming the numbers are in column A, starting at A2, and that you want the results in column B, and in the same row as the original numbers:
B2: =A2+89
Fill down for 24 rows to B25.
To fill down:
After entering and confirming the formula in B2,
Select cell B2.
Shift-click on cell B25 to add it and all cels between it and B2 to the selection.
Go Insert (menu) > Fill > Fill Down.
Done.
