Overlaying Text onto your Image

 

This function allows you to overlay text or pictures onto an image. Typically these include descriptions, copyright notices or company logos.

 

Inserting Text

 

Specify the text that you want included.  You can also include the following tags:

 

%FILENAME%

Will be replaced with the filename of the image

%FILEDATE%

Will be replaced with the file date of the image

%DESCRIPTION%

Will be replaced with the description of the image

 

You will also need to specify the font of the text and whether the text should be given a solid color or transparent background.

 

 

Inserting an Image

 

You will need to browse for an image that is smaller than the current image

 

 

Insertion Position

 

Specify where the text or image should be inserted. 

 

NOTE: The easiest way to specify a custom position is to select the destination position in the main window (Image>Cursor Action>Rectangle Selection) then choose Image|Edit Image|Insert Text... This will position the inserted text starting at the top, left point of your selection
