Adding text to an image
You can use the Add Text tool in Edit to add formatted text to a photo, or add talk and thought bubbles to create a comic-book effect.
You can also adjust the opacity of the text to create a watermark effect, which is useful for putting copyright information onto your
photos.
You can save your options as a preset for future use.
To add text to an image:
1. In Edit mode, in the Add group, click Text.
2. Type the text you want to add in the Text field.
3. In the Font area, specify the font you want to use, the formatting options such as italics or justification, and the color of the
text. Drag the Size slider to specify a point size, and then drag the Opacity slider to specify the transparency of the text.
4. Click and drag the text marquee to reposition it anywhere on your image, or drag the marquee's handles to resize it.
5. Select an option from the Blend Mode drop-down list to specify how you want the text to blend into the underlying image.
6. Do one of the following:
Select the Bubble Text check box, and set the Bubble Text settings as explained in the table below. Note that other text
effects cannot be applied to bubble text.
Select one or more of the Effects, Drop Shadow, and Bevel check boxes to customize your text. Click the Settings
button to adjust the settings for each of these options as explained in the table below.
7. Do one of the following:
Click Apply to add the text to your image, and keep the Text tool open so you can add more text. The Text tool creates a
new, empty marquee, and you can return to step 3 in the list above.
Click Done to add the text to your image, and return to Edit. If you still have an empty marquee open, it will be
discarded.
Click Cancel to discard your changes and return to Edit.
