Putting text on photos

I'm not sure if this is the right place for the question...
Aside from the Macbook Pro's "Preview" app is there another program on the Macbook or from the App Store (for free) that allows you to write and edit the text on photos. Previews is very limited, this forum looks to have more options for text than Previews. I don't really care about editing the photo, simply adding text but with a few more options like justification of text.
thanks.

You don't have to buy any apps. Instead why don't you create one with Automator.
The below example is using Automator to write text on images.

Photographers! App to put text into photos?

I have some pics that I want to put titles into/onto.
I am putting together a poster. The top of the poster has a picture. I want to put some text on top of/into the pic.
What is a SIMPLE and EASY TO USE app where I can open the pic and type in the text and do some formatting?
I do not want a 'template' app. The one's in pages don't work for this project.
Oh, I want it to be able to use the fonts I have. A program that gives me limited fonts is NOT going to work.

The free Apple app Preview that came with your computer can add text and edit/color correct images. Open the image in Preview and go to Help in the menu, Preview Help.
Click on Annotate images and PDF documents and choose add text or a text bubble, follow the directions. To see how to edit images click on Edit Images.
If you have iPhoto installed (you need to buy it from the App Store) you can edit/color correct in that app too. To add text to a photo in iPhoto you need to download this free plug-in for iPhoto to be able to add text to an image.

Appleworks putting text and photo in an email

I am a new jack to the Mac world.
I have been trying to place a saved online photo within the body text of an email I wish to send out. So that the photo appears within the body text of the email when opened.
I do not want to send the picture as an attachment.

This isn't really an AppleWorks question, more of a Leopard one (or Mail and Address Book): however -
A picture added to an email is an attachment. If you place it within the text, most modern email clients will display it within the text: but a few will simply display it as an attachment with an icon. This is a matter of the capabilities of the receiving email client, or how it is set up by its user, and there isn't anything you can do to change that.

There's something wrong with your Photoshop install.

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 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.

I am trying to make a photo book thats i can put text over a picture

I am trying to create a photo book that allows me to put text over a photo.
The only book that kinda allows for this is the photo essay book but the text box is really small and cannot be adjusted.
The older version of iphoto allowed you to plave a pictures behind a text page and fade the picture into the background.
Can anyone help???
do i need to revert to the old iphoto or is there a way to have a picture in the background with a bigger text box on one of teh photo books now avalaible?

You can still have a photo for a text page background. Go to the layout pane for the text page and click on the photo background icon:
Then drag the photo you want as the background into the page.

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!

Text on photos

i put text under all the photos on one roll in my library and it altered the text of ALL photos in the library..... how do i revert the other photos back to their original text? please help!

neat:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What text are you referring to (Comments?) and how did you go about it?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

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.

Putting Text over a video is not working

O.K. I follow the instructions on putting text over a video (for iMovie 11), but every time I do this all I see is a black screen with the text in it. I can't get the video to show up when I preview/play the video. I have the same problem when trying to use the green screen feature as well. Is there a setting or something that I need to change in iMovie? If so what/where is it, because I am at my "witts end" trying to find it?

I would suggest trashing the iMovie Preferences file. Instructions are here. (You should not need to trash the iApps preferences, just the iMovie one.)

I put all my photos into album .Then proceeded to erace photos from last 18 months.. Went back to albums, and no pictures in most of the albums.. What happened? Don't know what to do. How can I get pictures back in my albums?

I put all my photos int albums. Then went back to same photos in last 18 months and deleted them. When I went back to albums, most of the pictures were gone. What happened? All of my pictures gone? I need help...

Hi saginrsf,
Deleted them from where? The photos in your albums are not the actual photos in your library. So if you deleted the photos from the Photos section of iPhoto, then you have deleted them period. All of the photos in your Albums are just "pointing" to the original photos. Albums are just a way of organizing your photos, but they are not copies of them.
Did you delete them from the Photos in iPhoto?

I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.

I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.
However, when I click on the square to insert the photo, a screen pops up telling me to "select a PDF file and import it as an image" and just an "OK" button to press.
When running the debugger, I get NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. Field.buttonImportIcon:6:Field Click here to add a photo:Mouse Up. Any way around it? Below is the problem I'm talking about.

Thanks for your reply.
I've converted photos into pdf format and it still won't allow me to insert the photo. I wouldn't know whether it'd be too large or small since I cannot insert it in the first place.
"Warning: Javascript Windows: Select the PDF file to import this button as an image" is the message that keeps appearing. I can't seem to find anything related to this.

The only text you can attach to a PDF in the current Adobe Reader is a "note" comment. If you tap the comments button (the cartoon cloud with pencil) and choose the "note" comment (the cartoon cloud) you can add a note.
