Many of you have marked your photos on your websites and galleries so no one will mistake who the decorator was. I'm wondering how you do this. Is there software for this? Any info will be appreciated! icon_biggrin.gif

Try Photofiltre. It's a free download so it doesn't do as much as Photoshop, but it'll get the job done.

They used the Paint program which is easily accessible. Hope this helps!

I use the Paint program as well. Very easy and already on my computer. I did download Photofilter however I'm at a loss as to how to use it!

Hello There-

Hello-

I downloaded Paint Shop Pro.8 from www.corel.com. I believe you have the option to have a 60 day trial to use it.

I think you can also open your picture in Microsoft Paint (which is usually a program in MS Office- I think!)

Below are instructions I was given from another cake central member (Emi) to use in Windows Paint

_ Open picture in Microsoft Paint

_ click on symbol A

_ 2 yellow boxes with circle and square cubes will appear, on bottom

_ the 1st one is for white shadow filled text box and the 2nd ( last )for a text with no shadow ( I guess that would be translucent )

_ click on the 2nd yellow box ( the last, or bottom one )

_ choose font size

_ choose a color

_ type whatever you want

_ save it, every time you're asked should you or not. I think I click save twice, and the picture is done.

I hope this helps.
