Displaying captions and info text on images
You can display text on your images based on captions and EXIF data, such as the date the photo was captured, the camera used, or the camera settings. When you use the
Add Info dialog box, the text is added to your images as a separate layer. You can access
Add Info from the
File menu or you can applying the settings to multiple photos by accessing it in the
Batch Process wizard. For more information about batch processing, see
Processing files in batches. You can format the text, add a drop shadow for better visibility, and set the position for the text.
