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.

You can display caption and EXIF text on your images.
