Adding Text to Images in Adobe Image Ready

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Gary for Expert Village. I'd like to show you how to edit your signatures, not only create new ones, but, possibly to add in text or to just change the look of the signatures. So, we go back into Tools, and Options, Mail Format and then in our signature. And, here we have our list of signatures for new messages. I'm going to go ahead, and we see that the Clown Animation has been chosen. I'm going to click on Signatures. And, here's my list and, we see that we have the option to Edit. So, I click on Edit, and again we are only viewing the picture. And, we are really being prompted to add in text. So, if we want to change and edit the picture, we are going to have to go into our Advanced Edit again and open up the Microsoft Word Editor and create the HTM file. But, if we just want to add in text, we can just go ahead and put in text by clicking on top and hitting the enter key. And, then, while we are on top of the image, we can put something in like Clown Productions.com. And, of course, we can go ahead and make it nicer. We can make it look more like a logo. We can change our font around and maybe make a little bit of a Bold Font, Crazy Harold. We'll put it like that. So, here we have our image and it has some text on top. And, now we can go ahead and use our signature more, instead of just a kind of cute funny image, but actually as a kind of logo or something that we can really use as a calling card. And, we can obviously add in more text, phone numbers, addresses. But, that's how you would go ahead and edit your signature and put in text. And, of course, once this is saved, it will appear in your emails just the same way as the plain image did."
