How to Add Names to Photos
If you want to add a name to a photograph or a notation to remind you of something, you can do so using a program built into the Windows operating system. With Microsoft Paint, a basic image editing program, you can add text over your images. You can add text with either an opaque background (which will make your name stand out more) or a transparent background (where the text will fit into the image more).
