[QUOTE="Cecil, post: 714995, member: 65397"] [b]Putting text directly on a photo[/b] Long explanation, but it works! 1) Have 'FINDER' open in Task Bar 2) Put photo from 'iPhoto' or similar program onto the Desktop 3) Double Click photo 4) 'PREVIEW' should now be at the top of your Mac If you have not done so, go to VIEW, CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR, and drag 'Annotate' button to your Taskbar 5) Use the Annotate 'button' and arrow down until you see 'Note', click or highlight 6) Drag, (curser turns to a cross mark) a box that will have the word 'text' in it (highlighted in bright green) 7) Tools, Show Font, select your font (This is a small screen, I sometimes leave it open & move it out of my way) 8) Tools, Color, use the crayons feature, select color or black or white (White is perfect for most pictures) 9) Type you notation 9) After completing, the box can be positioned anywhere on the photo 10) To test printing (I'm using a HP) Select 'Paper size' 4 x 6 and print it on 8 1/2 x 11 In my next life, I am going to rewrite manuals! ☺ [/QUOTE]
