How do you put text into a photo book?

I am new to Photoshop Elements, using Elements 11, and my first project is to make a photo book for a recent trip.  I have figured out importing the pictures and titles.  I want to include a 3000 word story on 3 or 4 pages.  I have spent hours trying to do this.  I thought I would be able to easily copy and paste from Word but that isn't working for me.  I have retyping the whole thing in "Your Text Here".  I can't seem to make it work.  Pane sizing is an issue.  Editing after I have typed several paragraphs.  I am about to give up.  I can't locate any tutorials etc on how to do this.  I bought Elements 11 for Dummys and they might as well have skipped photo books.  It was useless.  Can someone give me some guidance please?

Try creating a new page template in expert mode.
File >> New >> Blank File
Select your page size height and width and background color and use 300 ppi for printing.
Then select the T tool, click top left, and copy and paste your text.
Save as jpeg and add it to your book as an image and use the bounding box to scale/re-size.
Note you may have to click inside the text area and add the carriage return as it’s not easy to justify text in elements.
I would suggest you first save as PSD that will preserve the text layer as a separate layer. You can then re-open the PSD file at any time e.g. if you decide to edit any of the text. Treat it as your master file and use it to save a fresh jpeg whenever needed.

  • How do I put text into an Edge File that clients can edit easily afterwards

    Hi
    Can anyone explain how I can put text into an edge file (styled with google fonts) and make it so that clients can access the text and update the text as they require?
    Previous suggestion was dynamically loading a .txt file - any instructions would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Resdesign!
    Your code is very useful to learn how to use Json in Adobe Edge Animate!
    But I have a question: why you use ( i ) as argument of the function UpdateInfo and when you recall it you use ( index )?
    $.getJSON('slides.json', function(data){
              //for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
    function updateInfo(i){
                        sym.$("photo").css({"background-image": "url('"+data[i].image+"')"});
                        sym.$("pillar").html(data[i].pillar);
                        sym.$("what").html(data[i].what);
                        // position
              index = -1;
              sym.$("btn").click(function(){
              index++;
                        if (index>=5){
                                  index = 0;
              updateInfo(index);
    Many thanks for your attention!

  • 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.

    Hello,
    In order to turn a tet into Hyperlink, you first need to select the text and then in the toolbar look for "Links" option. Click on the dropdown and either select one of the pages or type in your own link.

  • How do you add pictures to your photo book after saving it? Can you re-save it to send to blurb?

    How do you add pictures to your photo book once you have saved it? Moreover, can you save it again and send it to Blurb.

  • I'd like to copy my iWeb photos & comments and put them into a Photo Book

    Instead of building a Photo Book from scratch in iPhoto, I'd like to copy several photo pages with comments from iWeb and transfer them into a Photo Book. I tried to copy/paste and this doesn't work - the comments do not get captured. Has anyone done this? Thanks.

    Command-Shift-4 will change your mouse into cross-hairs. Position at the upper left corner and drag to the right and down. When you have things lined up let go of the mouse and a new image file will be placed on your Desktop.
    This image file will probably not be high enough resolution to use in a printed Book, however. They require 300 dpi in most cases.
    To copy text from a Web page hold down the mouse as you drag across it and "Copy". "Paste" into any text editor to save the clippings.
    You can also paste text into most image editing apps like GraphicConverter.

  • 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 do you superimpose someone into another photo quickly?

    In the video of Photoshop Element 11, the man draws a green swiggly over his daughter on the beach and adds her into another photo a couple of times, so he ends up with her on the beach 3 times next to each other. I really want to know how to do that in a quicker way than with the lasso tool.

  • How do you Combine Pictures into one Photo

    I'm really re.tarded when it comes to this stuff.
    I want to take 4 pictures and combine them, making like a montage and I have no clue how to do that.
    Message was edited by: S.E.S.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did your computer happen to have come with OmniGraffle? It is an amazing application and can create a collage very easily like this one I made out of 96 photos.
    If it didn't come with your computer it's demo mode it will let you work with up to 10 items on a page.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How can I put text into a cell with a formula?

    I'm trying to sort a budget in Numbers 3.1. I have a sum of column of cells that I'm adding up. The cell that has a total number looks like this: =SUM(F). I want to have that sum have a $ sign in front of it. I've ready everywhere that I could do ="$" SUM(7), but that doesn't work in 3.0, only in Numbers 09 I guess. Is there a new solution for 3.1?

    Tyna,
    Just Format the cell as Currency.

  • In Aperture, how do you put a background layer behind text?

    How do you put a background layer behind the text to offset the color of the pic from the text color? Right now, some pics have whites and blacks that drown out the text, making it hard to read...

    I forgot: if you rather want to add a background instead of changing the color of your text:
    To add a background behind a texbox,
    simply edit the layout (Click "Edit Layout", click "+") and add a Photo Box;
    drag the PhotoBox behind your text field.
    click "edit content" and add a picture to the background box.
    You'll need to import a suitable background photo, or crop some suitable background from one of your images.

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.
