How to Edit Photos With Text

Edit photos with text using a graphics program.

When you use a graphics program to edit photographs, you can enhance and embellish digital photos in many ways. Perhaps your photos need quick fixes to correct exposure problems or you wish to crop your photograph to remove portions of the picture. You can also edit photos with text to add whimsical captions or titles to your pictures. Get creative with cute or funny text captions as you edit photos.

Things You'll Need

• Graphics program

Instructions

1. Open the graphics program and open the digital photograph you wish to edit within the graphics program ("File," "Open").

2. Select the "Font Tool" from above the workspace. Click the drop-down menu that lists the fonts available within the graphics program and select the font you wish to use by highlighting it. Select a color for the font within the materials palette (above or to the side of the workspace) and enter a number into the font size box to make the font the size you desire.

3. Click your mouse once onto the photograph where you wish to add the text. Enter the text you wish into the text box that appears and click "Apply."
