Putting text on top of image

I'm sure I've done this before but I just can't remember how.
What I want to do is have an image with text over the top of it.
However, the image can not be a background image because it needs
to print. How do I do this?

There's no way that's really pretty. The easiest and most
expedient, if
it's not too much text, is to make it part of the image. Make
sure you
include the text in the alt attribute... Other than that, if
you're
using positioned divs, you can put the image in one div,
duplicate it,
give the duplicate a higher z-index, and put the text in the
higher z-
index div. Or if it's really an issue (does the background
/have/ to
print?) is to make it as a PDF.

Putting text on top of a custom shape

If I put text on top of a custom shape I've added, the text doesn't show. I know it's there because if I change the opacity of the "shape" I can see the text is in fact there. How do I force the text to be on top of the customer shape? I'm using the shape as a "thought bubble" so one would think this is a common thing to do.

It's probably not because of the shape. First of all check your color square to be sure the text isn't the same color as the shape. Also, you may need to make text very much larger in PSE than you normally would, because text size is dependent on the resolution of the image. A high resolution image can need really big text before you can easily see it. Don't be afraid to type in a much larger number than is available in the pulldown menu.

ThanksHad the same problem - when I tried to overlay a TextField on top of my graphic the graphic repainted itself over the TextField. The (easier) solution was to put the image on its own JComponent within the JPanel I was writing too. This way the TextField could be made visible or invisible and laid on top of the image. More involved solutions would mean creating your own text editor on top of the graphic - this is covered in one of the Java tutorials, but you have to manage the details.

How to epub text on top of images.

I am trying to epub a children's book. I have an basic color and then I bring the image on the page but indented. Then I put the text on top of the image.
I have tried articles and I can't get the text to go ontop of the image. how do I do that. The images are jpegs. I tried png and psd. I tried putting the text on the image in photoshop but when I brought it over to indesign, the text looked terrible.
thanks

Text and image would have to be rasterized together, either in Photoshop or in InDesign in EPUB. There is no concept of layering in an EPUB file.
I don't think even fixed layout EPUBs support layering.

How to I add text on top of image? I am using pages version 5.2.2

I am working on an apple desk top OSX version 10.9.4. Since the new pages version 5.2.2 came out, I have been unable to add text on top of an image. Can anyone help me? Thanks ahead of time.

Pages v5 is not as flexible as Pages ’09 v4.3. If you want text over a free-standing image in your document, then you will need to place it in a Text Box, Shape, or other custom container created with the Unite, Intersect, Subtract, or Exclude items in the Arrange panel. Simply selecting the image and then, in the Arrange tab, stating move with text; setting wrap to none, and clicking back/ward — does not help.
You will need one of the containers from the second sentence positioned on top of your image. Once your text is input and styled, select the Text Box and the image, then from the Arrange tab, select group to maintain your text/image spatial relationship. If you need the image and its text container to adapt to other text in your document, you can enable the wrap functionality that best suits your document goals.
This can get interesting, because you can independently define the selected Text Box content as a text placeholder, and the image as a media placeholder. Save it as a template. When you open a new document with this template, you can drag and drop a new image onto the old one, and it is automatically scaled and replaced without effecting the Text Box content. You can then double-click the Text Box content and change it.

How can I put text on top of a graphic in Framemaker 11?

I am using Framemaker 11. When I import an image from Photoshop (EPS file) and put a text box on top, I can't get the text to be on top of the graphic without jumping to the next page. Is there a setting that I'm missing in Framemaker? The image is just borders, like a frame, and I'm trying to put the text inside the blank space.

I suggest you use the text frame tool (to the left of Arnis' supplied screenshot) and set the background of the text frame (the diagonal b/w lines below the text frame tool) to None.
When all else fails, add the text to the graphic, save as PDF or other appropriate format, and place as needed.

What method u use to out put text

what method u use to out put text is top ....end top or write_form.
say me 1 reason for using write_form rather than top...endtop.

Logic Pro is a professional application that is available very cheap, so that professionals and amateurs alike can use the same tools. This is because the cost is subsidised by the cost of the mac computers.
A reciever that has optical, coax and HDMI would be a consumer grade home theatre system. Mixing to 5.1 is a highly specialised task, and you are very unlikely to get good results through a home theatre system, even if you could plug it straight in.
Professionals who do 5.1 mixing with Logic (I am one of them) would have a serious multichannel external audio interface, and would plug the disctrete outputs from there into a monitoring system setup in a properly designed room. Anything less would result in a mix that would sound different everywhere it is heard, and probably only good in your room.
The mix as done by logic provides a file or files that are 6 discrete channels. You would then use a program like "Compressor", (previously available with Logic Studio and not to be confused with an audio compressor) to convert the files to one of a number of possible formats.
The format that your receiver would be looking for would be a Dolby digital format, a licensed format designed especially for home theatre. If every mac was designed to deliver that natively so the very few who might use it are able to access it directly, every mac user would have to pay more. This wouldn't make sense.
Sorry.

Can I put only the top image of a stack in a Mobile Album?

I have an album that contains stacks and I would like to put only the top images of these stacks in a Mobile Album. Is this possible?
I have tried to make a new album and only put the top images in this new album without sucess. Is it possible to have a stack of images in one album and only the top image in another ablum?
I hope someone knows about this
Hans Brodin

Hi Surendra,
My target is to find a convenient way to transfer my best photos only to my iPad
By using stacks for similar photo and putting my best shot on top I reduce the number of images displayed in the organizer. A typical stack contains of 8 shots.
Then I put my best stacks in an album. By using the Slide Show in PE I have a convenient way to display only my best shot and tha's OK for my computer were I have a lot of disc space.
But on my iPad the size of memory is limited and it also takes some time to transfer a huge number of images so now I want to find a convenient way of tranfering only the top image of each stack. If I could have a separate album containing only the top images from each stack the task would have been easy.
Now this is not possible so now I hope there is another solution than acually making a separate copy (a new file) of each top image and put these copies in a separate album. This will of course work but it will end up in having two identical images showing up in the organizer and so I do not really like this idea.
I hope I have managed to describe my intention and do you have an idea for a workaround or do I need to make separate copies?
Thanks a lot
Hans

Converting Word to PDF: text doesn't show on top of image

I have a word 2013 document with text on top of an image. When I convert to PDF with Acrobat Standard XI the image covers the text.
Here is the page in Word:
and here in Acrobat:
Any help would be appreciated!

I have only used Acrobat Pro, not Standard. Does Standard have a Content Pane? If so, I would try selecting each content element on the page till I found the image, and drag it above the text elements in the content order.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to put a drop shadow on text added to an image?

Is it possible to put a drop shadow on text added to an image using Photoshop Elements 10?

Yes.
Open the Effects palette. In the drop-down. go to "Drop Shadows." You will find several listed. After you have applied, double click on the f on the text layer in the layers palette. This will bring up the Style Settings. Here you can fine-tune the shadow..
Note that in the drop-down referenced above, there are also Bevels which may enhance your presentation.

Text on top of an image in a component

How do I get text on top of an image in a component?
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("foo.jpg");
JLabel label = new JLabel();
label.setIcon(icon);
// this prints next to, not on top of, the image
label.setText("Hello"); if I add this:
label.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
label.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);The text doesn't appear at all. I assume it is "underneath" the image.
null

if I add this:
label.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
label.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);The alignment methods determine the position of the component in the parent container, if the layout manager respects those values.
I believe you want:
JLabel label = new JLabel("Some Centered Text");
label.setIcon( new ImageIcon("???.jpg") );
label.setHorizontalTextPosition(JLabel.CENTER);
label.setVerticalTextPosition(JLabel.CENTER);

Fade in text link on top of image

Hi,
I am fairly new to flash so forgive me if this is an easy
question. I have a flash header that will be made up of an image
being faded in then out to be replaced by another image etc for up
to four images. I have been able to do this fairly easily but what
I would like to do next is when each image has fully faded in, I
then fade in some text on top of the image which will become a link
to a page on the site. Each of the four images will have different
text and links associated with it.
Anyone got any suggesstions on how I can achieve this look
and functionality ?
Cheers
Macca

Make the text a movieclip or a button. Then you can fade it
and use it as a button.

HTML text on top of productBranding image

Hi all,
I'm new to using UIX XML in JDeveloper 10g and was wondering how I could render HTML text on top of an image (i.e. the text is not part of the image.gif). I'm able to display text all around the image but not on top of it. I'm guessing that this can be done since it is one of the BLAF specifications for the Product Branding guides.
Having spent a couple of days looking through various related posts, I've yet to make any head way.
Cheers

Woohoo! Got it. Could have done it in the stylesheet as well!

Putting text in a shape vs in a text box on top of a shape

I want to put text in a shape (eg a rectangle). You can put text directly in the shape, or you can put text in a text box on top of the shape. I am interested in the pros and cons of these two methods.
It seems to me that putting it directly in the shape is better (if you are going to fill the shape with text). I don't see that using a text box adds any functionality.
Any thoughts?
thanks
bob

Put the text directly into the shape. Anyway, putting a text box into a shape does not work, I don't think. You can place shapes within shapes, but not text boxes.
