text: can someone help me??? i want to know how can i put text over a picture, so that you can see the picture, as well as read the text. if any one knows of a program or something let me know any image editing program can do this, including paint, which comes with windows. (start --> all programs --> accessories --> paint).  to put text on an image in paint:  1. open paint.  2. under the image menu, make sure "draw opaque" is checked off. this is very, very, very important!  3. under the file menu, choose open and select the image you want to add text to.  4. click once on the a icon on the left of the page.  5. click on the part of the image where you want your text to appear. a dotted box will appear on the page.  6. the text toolbar should appear (it will contain the font name, font size, formatting, etc.). if it does not show up,  under the tools menu, check on the text toolbar option.   7. start typing.  8. highlight your text and use the text toolbar to change the font, size, etc. to look better. use the color boxes at the bottom of the screen to change the color of the text.  9. when you are done, choose file --> save as... and save the file with a new name.
