How to Add a Text Overlay

To add text click on the Object tab, then the letter T.,

Now go to the letter (T) where you can add text to your photo.

Add your text to the top by clicking on the T like I have and choose the colour then size which may depend on the size of your photo, then the opacity bar, slide to, open full.

Going down to the outline you can chose a colour to be a shadow of your writing then clicking on the outline plus text circle and hitting the apply square.

Now chose the thickness (1 to 36).

You will now find your writing in the photo so go ahead and hit the OK button.

If it is too long then go back, click where you want the second line to start then hit enter and make it two lines.

Now it is time to position your writing where you want it to go by moving the enclosed block which is the system used in most of the internet.

Drag the sides in or out, up or down experimenting to suit your needs and if you do not like it hit the X and delete it then go back and hit the T again to start again.

There are many other things you can use in this section but this is the basics.

If this is what you find is up your ally then let me know how you feel about it and then add some advice to help other followers here as teamwork is the best educator for teacher and student.

I have shown some of the basics to PhotoScape to help you get started but not be overwhelmed with it, so practice with it and have fun.

Let me know if this Tutorial is working in your favour.

I will continue with additional training about what I find best with my photos on PhotoScape.

Your photos with practice will then compete with the best.
