Insert text on Photos

I saw a picture company's slideshow with text on the photos. How can I do this?

Hi Mitos,
You can try a free third party application called ImageWell, which has already been mentioned here.
Download Imagewell and double click to open it.
http://www.xtralean.com/IW.html
Drag the photo from an open iPhoto library window right into the well of Imagewell
Click on the "edit" button
Click on the "add text button" which is the "Aa"
click on the photo where you want to add the text
click on the little box on the right to set the color
click on the "f" button to choose the font and the size making sure your text is highlighted so it is affected when you change the font and size.
Click "done"
when you are happy with it, drag it out of Imagewell's window to the desktop
That's it, you can even change the name of the photo and the size there too, before you drag it out of the window. Actually there is a lot of other fun stuff you can do with it like add balloon text and masks.
Drag the photo back into iPhoto to import it again

Inserting text into photos

How do I do this?
For example, I want to put my business name at the bottom of all my photos.
I have iPhoto 6 (6.06).
Thanks,
Sharon-Marie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You'll need an external editor to do this. In order of price - starting with free - here are some suggestions:
Seashore
Graphic Coverter
Acorn
Photoshop Elements
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 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.
(Also, take a look at: Skitch)

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

Inserting text in iphoto

As a windows switcher, I'm just starting to use the ilife suite. I made a slideshow using iphoto and inserted text. The problem is that the text is in a very small font and in the upper left hand corner of the slide. I can't figure out how to move the text to the bottom of the screen, increase the size and change the color to yellow. Is this possible in iphoto? Other than this, I am thrilled to have a new apple computer.

Don,
If you had an album that you made into a slideshow, find the album in the photo media browser in iMovie and drag the photos into the timeline.
Now highlight each image and click on the title tab. Find the right title that is static and places the title where you want. I am not sure if there are any included titles that fit your need, but there are plenty of plugins that will have the title the way you want.
The only problem is, iPhoto titles are not autofilled in the title field so you will have to input the text. It will take longer I know.
After you add the titles, then you can add the Ken Burns, then transitions.
You will really have to experiment to get it the way you want.
good luck!

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.

Insert text using Lightroom 5

How to insert text using Lightroom 5 (not in slide mode or using watermark)?

If you mean superimposing text on your photo, you can't do that in Lightroom. There is no "insert text" feature (other than watermark or slides). There is a plug-in called Mogrify that allows you to superimpose text on your photos during export.

I just want to type text onto photo business card

I just want to type text across photo
making a business card
thank you

On the introductory window, also make sure you pick from the top choices under Word Processing - I just use "Blank". If you choose the Blank under the sedon set (page layout), you will have to get a text box. I use that setting if I have a lot of images I want to insert and then have text around/near the images.
See my screenshot here:
When you're done with that page, it should automatically move to the next one or you can choose another blank page in the pulldown in the toolbar.

Using text on photos

Is it possible to insert text on to a photo? I have tried everything - I went to "help" and told me to find a text and then copy and paste. For some reason I can copy the text, but when I go to click on the photo, it does not allow me to paste. What am I doing wrong?

I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder

Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

How do I combine text and photos on the same page in iPhoto using photobook

How do I combine text and photos on the same page in iPhoto using photobook?

You mean while creating a book in iPhoto? Click on the layout button while viewing a page and select the layout that includes both text and photos. Most themes will have those options.

Script to find a specific section in file & insert text below - how?

I am dealing with kind of a problem here - I am using pekwm as my window manager and I use menumaker to automatically update the menu on every startup. My problem is that the original pekwm, the first two sections called 'terminal' and 'Run' and the last two sections called 'Go To' and 'pekwm' are overwritten/modified by mmaker so that there's only the applications submenues and 'pekwm' with the 'Themes' section erased and I want to somehow preserve all that. I was thinking of creating a bash script that does the mmaker thing and then use 'sed' or 'echo' to insert the code back into the appropiate areas of ~/.pekwm/menu.
All I really need to know is how to find a particular string of code in the menu file and insert a block of text below that line using sed or echo.
Any ideas?

Looks interesting. But I'd like to keep it as simple as possible and avoid the part with the extra textfiles and just insert the code text straight into the menu file, kind of like this:
mmaker --no-desktop -vf pekwm
sed {
find-and-goto-line-below-'root menu'-declaration, insert-text {
entry for 'terminal'
entry for 'run"
~/.pekwm/menu
sed {
find-line-below-'pekwm'-submenu-declaration, insert-text {
entry for 'themes'
~/.pekwm/menu
Obviously it's not real code but it's just to outline how I'd like to have it. Just need to know the correct syntax to make it work. I don't care much for 'Go To' and the rest.

Inserting a flash photo gallery in a column

Hi
I usually work with frames but I now started a new site using
the default HTML 2 columns template. One of the columns will hold
my main content. I'm trying insert a flash photo gallery in the
column but this gallery (SimpleViewer) has its own index.html file.
Is this possible and how can I do it?
Thanks!

Hi Anthony:
Have you tried simply applying iMovie's 'Flash" effect to the slug?

How to insert text in the text-id using BDC

Hi Friends,
I m using the BAPI to upload the data for a transaction .
In that transaction there are some text id's are created to insert text like 'Container number'.
I want to insert the text in that text id . But it not a field. Text ids are having object no and table and number .
Is there any function like 'READ_TEXT' which we use to retrieve the text form text ids to write text in text ids ?
So that I can use that function to insert the text in the text ids.
Thanxs.

Hi Umesh,
READ_TEXT is used to Read the text , but SAVE_TEXT is used to save the text. but for reading or saving you need correct iD's and text objects.
