I have done this before without a problem, but now the text is SUUUPER TINY even after I put the font at 72+...what happened? I'm trying to add text to some engagement photos to print out for frames etc, but I can't seem to do anything. I tried to open a different photo in preview, to see what I did different, but found that the text was also VERY SMALL...looks like a smudge in the photo...It has to be something I clicked, but I have no clue what. I am running thin on patience. :(

Sorry I know this has been asked before, but I can't find that thread and I'm new here and again running thin on patience.

Open the picture in Preview and under Tools > Annotate, click on "Add Text".

If you have Drawberry I'd suggest using that. If not, I'd suggest downloading it! I find this tool to be much more user friendly than Preview for this. Once open open the picture select the text tool and write! :)

Hope it all works out!
