What is Text Behind Image?
A tool that allows you to magically put text behind the subjects in your photos
Once your image is ready for some fancy lettering, it's time to browse the “Text” pane. The text pane has lots of features, and there are plenty just beneath the surface, but it's super easy to get started. Just click on “Add text” and a little text box will be added to your picture. You can move or scale your text just like any other design element. Once you know what you'd like to say, click the inside of the text box to add text to the image. It's that easy.
The bottom of the text pane is filled with font combinations which are little drag-and-drop morsels of well-balanced typography you can use on your images right away. Simply scroll through the text pane to find a font combination that's perfect for your photo, then click it or drag it into your design. Select the font combination to customize the color, or click on the placeholder text to start typing in your own. You don't even need to worry about adjusting the font size: we'll scale everything for you so your photo caption fits in the text holder nice and snug.
Can't find anything you like among available font combinations? You can build your own perfect photo caption! There are oodles of fonts to choose from, from chunky slab serifs to curvy script fonts, all with samples you can preview right from the font selection window. You can even choose some of your favorite fonts in advertising, like Helvetica and Baskerville. What's more, you can customize your text's color, alignment, and spacing all with just a few clicks.
Is your text getting lost in the shuffle? There are all kinds of ways to make text stand out from photos. For example, you can increase your font size or give your text a sizzling, contrasting color. But one artful method you can try is reducing the prominence of your images with a slight blur (opens in a new tab or window) or maybe some transparency (opens in a new tab or window). After adding text to your picture, select your image and open the filter window. Then slowly move the blur slider to the right. You can preview your photo becoming blurrier in real time, and stop just as your text comes into clear view.
The best way to add text to a photo is to do so in a place that looks natural and helps make the photo feel complete. Try adding text to a photo's negative space: areas that are wide open, without a lot of detail or variation, like open skylines, forest pools, or a block of color. With some creative font choices, along with editing and text alignment, your text can look right at home in your image. You viewers will wonder how your photo ever lived without it!
