How to add text to gif

Hello, i'm a beginner in photoshop.
I want to add text to my gif in animation frame, but somehow the text look transparent even though i already use black color for the text.
Could someone give me tutorial to how to add text to the gif and then make some kind of a subtitle?
Thanks..

So, if i want to make the text appear in layer 1-10 only, i only have to put the text layer above layer 10 right?
Do you mean 'Frame 1 - 10'? If you want the text to appear in Frames 1 - 10, you have to add the text to all frames from 1 - 10 above your image layer.
But what if then i want to make a new text for layer 11-20? Wouldn't the text appear in layer 1-10 as well? How to separate the text then?
If you want new text for Frame 11-20, you have to create a text layer in Frames 11 - 20 and change the text that you want to show in 11-20 frames.

How to add tooltip to images?

How to add tooltips to images?

OK, here is a more robust, more generic (any node) implementation.
It would be nice if I could find a way to automatically insert the tooltips in the scene, but at time of node with tooltip creation, scene doesn't exist yet... Should have a post-layout event, perhaps. Or I can do that once on the onMouseEntered event, but then I have to find a way to get the scene holding a given node. Tried to iterate on Parents, but I can't cast a Parent to a Scene?
Anyway, here is the new code:
Tooltip.fx
public class Tooltip extends CustomNode
public var text: String;
public var fill: Paint = Color.web('#EEFF00');
public var stroke: Paint = Color.GREEN;
var label: Label; // Make public to access textOverrun, textWrap, etc.?
var back: Rectangle;
override function create(): Node
    label = Label
      text: text
    back = Rectangle
      x: -2, y: -1
      width: label.width + 4
      height: label.height + 2
      fill:   fill
      stroke: stroke
    Group
      content: [ back, label ]
init
    visible = false;
    layoutInfo.managed = false;
WithTooltip.fx
public mixin class WithTooltip
/** The tooltip to display. */
public var tooltip: Tooltip;
// We display the tooltip after a while being over the node
var tooltipTL = Timeline
    keyFrames: KeyFrame
      time: 750ms
      action: function ()
//~         println("visible {%.0f tooltip.boundsInParent.minX} {%.0f tooltip.boundsInParent.minY}");
        tooltip.visible = true;
var baseMouseMoved;
var baseMouseEntered;
var baseMouseExited;
postinit
    var tooltipNode = this as Node;
    baseMouseMoved = tooltipNode.onMouseMoved;
    tooltipNode.onMouseMoved = function (evt: MouseEvent): Void
      if (not tooltip.visible)
        tooltip.translateX = evt.sceneX;
        tooltip.translateY = evt.sceneY - 20;
      baseMouseMoved(evt);
    baseMouseEntered = tooltipNode.onMouseEntered;
    tooltipNode.onMouseEntered = function (evt: MouseEvent): Void
//~       println("onMouseEntered: {%.0f evt.sceneX} {%.0f evt.sceneY}");
      tooltipTL.playFromStart();
      baseMouseEntered(evt);
    baseMouseExited = tooltipNode.onMouseExited;
    tooltipNode.onMouseExited = function (evt: MouseEvent): Void
//~       println("onMouseExited");
      tooltipTL.stop();
      tooltip.visible = false;
      baseMouseExited(evt);
SomeStage.fx
class ImageWithTooltip extends ImageView, WithTooltip
var earthTT = Tooltip { text: "Mother Earth" }
var earth = ImageWithTooltip
     image: Image { url: "{__DIR__}earth.png" }
     tooltip: earthTT;
var mapTT = Tooltip { text: "General map of France" }
var map = ImageWithTooltip
     image: Image { url: "{__DIR__}map.jpg", width: 200, preserveRatio: true }
     tooltip: mapTT;
// Put the ImageWithTooltip nodes in layout if needed, put the Tooltip nodes at the end of the scene (on top, out of any layout).

How to add text to Imovie

Hi there,
As a new user of an Macbook, and iMovie, I cannot figure out how to add texts to my movies. I do understand that I can add titles, but that doesn't allow me to change positions nor allows me to edit the font in the extent that I want to.
Naturally I browsed the web, and the only conclusion I can draw is that it is not possible (yet) to add plain texts to your movie. Is this correct?
If this is the case, do you use some other programs to circumvent this limitation in iMovie?
Thanks for your help!

in imovie 10, look at the bottom left hand corner there should be:
Content and Backgrounds
Titles
Tranistions
This is also known as the content libary
Click on titles and they should appear, it works for me.

You can't using iphoto. You'll need an external editor. Seasgore is free, Photoshop Elements is relatively inexpensive, Photoshop is very expensive. Graphic Converter may be on your machine already. Search on http://www.macupdate.com

How to add text to transparent gif?

Hi, I'm using Photoshop 6.01. with Windows 7 Professional. I have a transparent gif file, to which I want to add text, including bullets. The stuff I want to add is now on one of my webpages, and so is the gif, but I want to combine the image and the text. Is there a way to do this? If so, how?
Thanks.

If I understand what you are after and due to the point that Marion made. It would be wise to overlay the html text onto the graphic. To do so I recommend that you do a bit of research on CSS for absolute position and placement.
But this assumes that the text in the html fits your needs. If you require special effects applied to the text or even fonts that are not supported via html, then you are more or left forced to use either photoshop or flash.

Servlet add text to image!

Hi I'm a newbie to java servlet, how can I add text to an image?
Thanks

hi, thank you for your message! actually java program allow you to add text to an image. Here's a sample code I found from the Net.
Actually there are a no of other examples, but all failed at my server.
My linux server is FC4.
The following code stated that:

and btw, i dont have knowlege in html and css coding, so if u could explain it so i dont have to do coding in text, but only visual, it would be nice. yea im a naab...
thanks in advance

Use graphics apps for images only. DO NOT export HTML from Photoshop or Fireworks. The result is table based code that precisely fits the image slices and nothing else.
When you try to edit graphics app generated code in DW, your page layout will fall apart.
The following procedure is the workflow you should follow:
Part 1 - Initial Design

Part 2 - Markup preparation

Part 3 - Layout and CSS

If you get stuck, post back with specific questions and a link to your test page.

advantage is No need to enter the Manual text in PO and disadvantage is PO print may be too long.
Shall we add the text in Material Master and While creation of PO system will copy the text in to PO... Is it Material Master is eligible to take 2-3 page of texts in Purchasing view.
if yes how to add these instructions in PO form. is their any new idea. therefore Business need to ensure the text is printed properly in a clear manner.
Thanks and Regards
sapman man

Hi,
No need of maintaining any text in material master you can directly call text in the form...
we require this text will only for subcontract PO. not for Std PO
You have to build validation in the form program, Kindly discuss ABAPer on building validation and calling standard text in the program..

How to add text to a polygon shape?

I created a triangle:
<Polygon Name="triangle_top" Points="0,0 130,0, 130,130" Stroke="Black" />
I would like to add text to it without adding a label.
how should I do it?

You should either not mark a thread as answered ( closed) or ask a new question on a new thread.
I would start by removing the margin, but that's because there is no way of knowing how big that grid is from your code.
<Grid x:Name="topTriangle" >
<Polygon Name="triangle_top" Points="0,0 130,0, 130,130" Stroke="Black" Fill="Red" MouseEnter="triangle_MouseEnter" MouseLeave="triangle_MouseLeave" />
<TextBlock Name="text_top" FontSize="25" Text="55" Foreground="Black" />
</Grid>
Hope that helps.

How to Add text outside a picture

I want to add text, not on a picture itself, but outside of it: on the right or the bottom, several lines. Thanks

Expand the canvas size: Image > Resize > Canvas Size. It gives the option of expanding on any of the borders. In this example I set the background color to light green and expanded the bottom. Then I added the caption with the Text tool (creating new layer) and used the Move tool to precisely position the text layer.

How to add text to a pdf file?

I was sent a rental application as a pdf file which I need to fill in but I can't seem to add text to it.
How does one open a pdf file and add text to it?
I have acrobat professional that came with adobe cs3 on my mac.
Thanks for any advice.

If you don't have the original and need a word version that you can edit.
Open PDF go to Save As... choose Word and then choose format.
See this: http://www.screencast.com/t/igS0SoMDri
Note: this only works with text based files.
once its converted you can edit to you heart's content. Then once edited as need create a new PDF with a different name.
Open the Acrobat original Document Click on On Tools (if AcrobatX) and choose replace Pages and choose your new pdf as source. the choose desired pages or choose entire document.
If you have any form Fileds and they have been displaced choose edit Form, click on each field in turn than needs moving, use up down right or left arrow keys to nudge the elements to desired position.
If you have have a Form that has extended reader rights you have to remove those right by saving a copy without rights. Then onece editting completed you have to add rights.
