I am scanning photos into my PC. I want to put a caption on each picture, but I want the text to appear below the picture, not on the picture. I am new to Photoshop. What method or steps should I take to achieve this? I am worried that I might miss the answer(s), when they are posted. Please post answer and also email to csdudar@netzero.net. Thanks

scan the picture<br>open the picture in photoshop<br>adjust the canvas size of the picture<br>adjust the backgroundcolour if needed<br>write your tekst<br>save the pciture (optimized if you want to use it on the internet

An additional point: sometimes overlaying the caption on the picture looks better than having a strip at the bottom/side with the caption on it (depends on the pic and/or the caption itself tho!)<br><br>So just:<br>- open the pic in photoshop<br>- use the T (text) tool, type the text as u want it<br>- move/scale it to the right position.<br>- then Layer > Flatten the pic<br>- Save it. (Remember to use a different name if u want to keep the original uncaptioned image intact)

you can also have your canvas a bit bigger than your image. And then type the text on the transparent background under your image. Then when you save it make sure you save it as a gif, or the transparent part will turn white.
