Is it possible to include text over an image from i-photo?

I wish to overlay one of my images with a caption but have no idea of what I would initially have to do with the original image to get to the stage of including text/wordart etc. Can anyone help?

You'll need an external editor for work like 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.

Inserting text over an image in dreamweaver cc

I am trying to insert text over an image in fluid grid layout but all i can see is the text. I have seen the previous query relating to this but it does not help. Help on this would be great.

Layers or APDivs won't work in FluidGrid Layouts. You'll need to drop the image into your container's background with CSS. Or use Photoshop to apply text directly to your graphic.

Exporting text as an image from Photoshop

I am using a non web safe font and so I am exporting the body of text as an image from Photoshop. Canvas size 900 x 600 pix 72 dpi. However when viewing in the web browser the text looks soft and pixelated.
Does anybody know how I can solve this?   All I want is sharp lookinh text!

Hi Vikas
I export files from Photoshop as png's at 72 dpi.
Here is our current holding page. http://www.iheartmylife.co.uk/ All the text on this page has been loaded in as png's from Photoshop along with the image. As you can see none of it is as sharp as it could be.
Many thanks for your assistance.

How to create-Form text field to simultaneously preview the text over an image

I am trying to make a web page similar to the link below…where when a customer types in the form text field, and simultaneously, the text will preview in another area of the webpage over and image. See example when you create a label @ www.customwinesource.com custom labels…http://www.customwinesource.com/index.cfm?method=storepairing.listPairing&wineryid=auto
Any help would be much appreciated

I wasn't able to (easily) find anything in the way of a textfield to type something into that you describe, but you can assign code for input textfields to detect when something changes in them and take action from that event. How you do it depends on which version of actionscript you are using.

Question about layering text over an image

Hi -- I am trying to place a layer of text over a ghosted image that I've imported into ID from Photoshop. By "ghosted" I mean that the image has a layer of white fill over it that has been set at 50% opacity. ID won't let text be layered on top of the imported image, no matter how many different ways I've tried to accomplish this. It will allow another image to be layered on top, but not text. If I place a text frame over the ghosted image and type even one letter, the red text overset warning icon appears.
I tried applying the text in Photoshop and that works just fine until the file gets imported into ID, at which point the text looks terrible, having become somehow degraded in transit. I am fairly new to ID and PS, and would appreciate any helpful input.
Thanks!
~Artemis

Sounds like text wrap is applied to either the image or the frame above it, or both. Eihter turn it off if you don't need it for other reasons, or for the frame you want to use on top of it open the Text Frame Options and check the Ignore Text Wrap box in the lower left corner.

Is it possible to move text inside an image in dreamweaver cs4?

Hello, on a site I'm working on, I want a consistant background logo. I already have my heading, and I just want to move the heading text into the image. Is there any way to do this?
A quick response would be great.
-Dimitri

There are a few ways to do it, without seeing a link to your page, it's hard to give you exactly what you need, but you can turn the logo into a background image of a <div> then use standard html text to write over the top of it. Something like this...
In your css, add...
#logo {
background-image:url(yourimage.jpg);
Then in your html, add...
<div id="logo>Your text here</div>

Automated way to overlay one image over multiple images from a folder?

I need to overlay a transparent image of a tablet over about 50 images from a folder - is there any automated way to do this? I can use either Photoshop or Illustrator
Thanks
Jamie

Have you tried makig an aciton yet. Should not be too difficult since you want to to use the same image , you can copy once, and use paste during the action.
Make sure when you run the action as a batch, that you choose your destination. As a folder is safest, so you do not write over your original file.

How to add watermark text over an image

I add a watermark text in the corner of all my images in photoshop before putting them on the web. I use a text layer, emboss it, blur it, choose hard light and position it.
I am new to Lightroom. I am using an Intel iMac with up to date lightroom. Is there any way I can have some sort of preset in lightroom which will add this watermark to images in lightroom? I have the image saved as a separate document so technically all I would need to do is tell lightroom to apply this image to the selected photos.
Is this possible?
Regards

Alex, I do something similar to what you want to do, we use the Web module to create a flash slide show for proofs on a CD. Export all the images, sized for web use to a folder. Do a Photoshop action that adds your watermark. Re-import the finished files, go to Web module & upload. You should look into Mogrify, as it will add whatever watermark image, or text you want to, and has an "upload to an FTP server after export" function. I have not used this, as we don't upload to a studio website.

Include text file and display from text file

Ok. I'm found the site with the monkey on the the flash thing and all it shows is a name, email and something else and I used it and it works by including a txt file and displaying text from that file as putting down this information
name.text = this.name;
and I can't find the site anymore to get help.
I want to know how to include a PHP script that shows this information like this
text=something I need&username=My Name&email=[email protected]
I want to show this stuff on the flash but every time I execute by using it as localhost/test.php, it will show a sentax error.
This is really stressing me out and I need a lot of help on this stuff.
Can someone help me?

ok. let me describe something else.
there's 3 text boxes that is dynamic text.
one of them is called name
the other one is called email
and last one is called location
in the text file, it shows this for importing to the flash file
name=My Name&email=EMAIL&location=My Location
When viewing the flash file that you created, it shows the name, it shows the email, and it shows location.
When I do it on my own even with a text file, it keeps on saying that there is an error on line 1.
I found a site that shows how to do it and it shows what to put in a text file, and it shows the action script. On the FLA file that he shows me has a monkey on the flash file and it has 3 text boxes that I described above. As well as the text file, it is the same. I used the example and it worked but I can't find the example again. I don't know what happened to the website and I don't know what happened to the download I had but it is not downloaded any more. I have adanced systemcare pro so it clears out my recent web searches and my recent downloads so I can't find it. I did a google search on anything about action scripts. I even did a monkey action script search and I couldn't find it.
It's making me mad and I don't know what to do. This is stressing me out way more than you think.
UPDATE:
I did a google search on a file I found in my www folder and I found it. finally.
Here's the site.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm
now, I need to figure out how to load it from a PHP file.

How do I place translucent text over an image in InDesign?

I have placed text on top of an image and am trying to make it look translucent. However, when I select the text box, go to Object > Effects > Transparency, select Text and reduce opacity to 70% and hit OK, it does reduce the transparency of the text but also appears to raise the brightness of the image underneath. I've also tried putting the text in a separate layer from the image but it still happens. How can I make it so that just the text changes? Thanks in advance.

Which version of InDesign are you seeing this issue in danni95?
I can't replicate the issue in InDesign CC (2014.1 Release).
However, am thinking what you are seeing is related to the display of transparency. If the InDesign document were to be converted to PDF v1.3 (Acrobat 4 compatibility) or EPS, the text will be outlined, and the text frame area will become a rasterized region.
There's a couple of things you could do to check all is OK, and things are merely a display issue.
Open up the Effects panel (Window > Effects) and ensure that the 70% opacity on Text is the only setting applied. No other Effects, Blending Modes or Opacity settings applied elsewhere?
View the document with Overprint Preview enabled (View > Overprint Preview). Do you still see the issue? If it disappears, I'd not be too concerned with the issue, as in final output things will be OK.
Thirdly you can try using the Flattener Preview panel (Window > Output > Flattener Preview), to further isolate the issue.

Cari

Prevent embedding text into an image from imported .AI

Hi,
First of all, i would like to warn you that i'm just learning indesign so i apologize beforehand for any stupid thing i say.
Anyways, i'm trying to import a file made in Illustrator. Long story short, this file has a lot of text in it and a lot of images, so when i try to import it to indesign, it embeds the whole .AI file and i end up with an image. i would like to know if there's a way to import this .AI file without having to embed it, because i would like to make an e-pub and the text must be editable.
I've already tried copy pasting, drag and dropping and using the "place" command", but all of them give me the same result.
thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks so much, but I figured it out. It was a text wrap problem. I checked the no text wrap box and it worked. I appreciate your response.

Setting Text over an Icon which is on a JLabel - Urgent

Can someone help me. I need to set some text over an Image/Icon which is placed over a JLabel.

You should simply change the iconTextGap value (according to the string width and the icon width if you want it centered) :
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("Centered label");
          JLabel label = new JLabel("centered label",new ImageIcon("im1.gif"),SwingConstants.LEFT);
          frame.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);
          int iconWidth = label.getIcon().getIconWidth();
          Font font = label.getFont();
          Graphics g = label.getGraphics();
          FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
          int stringWidth = fm.stringWidth(label.getText());
          label.setIconTextGap(-stringWidth+((stringWidth-iconWidth)/2) );
I have made the frame visible before setting the texticongap because you can't get the graphic context of a component if this component is invisible.
Now the label is perfectly centered on the icon.
I hope this helps,
Denis

What is the best way to add text to an image

I used the draw ap div to add text to an image. will that cause any problems? If so, what is the best way to add text to an image? Thanks!

APDivs will kill your design unless you fully understand the css behind the scenes and plan accordingly. They really are completely unnecessary in the vast majority of situations.
An easy way to add "web text over an image" would be to use the background-image attribute in css for a standard <div> tag, then just add the text within that same <div>.
Something like this in the css (if you are using a 300x300 pixel image)...
#yourdiv {
     background-image:url(yourpic.jpg);
     width:300px;
     height:300px;
And then this in the html...
<div id="yourdiv">Your text here</div>
You would then position the <div> using css margins, floats and padding. Using position:absolute (APDivs) is typically something that will blow your design to pieces if the viewer changes their browser settings.
