You have your image in the queue and see it on the LIVE VIEW main screen. Right click for the menu and select EDIT PAGE. Now you are in the Page editor. See screen snap. Look for the blue bar that says, "ADD FLOATING TEXT". You have to select a spot for the text on the image, but it will be easy to place later, so don't fuss, just click a spot. Then type what you want. Say OK... There is much more, of course to change text size, color, font, and make block letters,and add date and many other doo dads. So try this, and I will be here with others to help if you need some.

Have fun Fred Title: Re: Adding text to Qimage page or image Post by: sorgan@ymail.com on June 07, 2022, 05:33:55 PM Great! How do I change the font?

See screen snap 098 and find the cursor hand ready to click on FONT in blue. The next snap shows you all you can change: Point size, Font selection, color. You are doing great! Like I said, complex the first time. Easy Peasy next time. Fred PS I hope you are clicking on the image in the post so it enlarges.

Barry Barry, The text application is a little tricky in your situation. Meaning: How many images are on the page? Then Qimage wants to help by asking if you want any change to one or all. So try this. Slowly move your cursor over that little blue dot until it becomes a finger. Now Right click and make your correction by using delete one or all. Need more info from you. Or even a screen snap. Fred Title: Re: Adding text to Qimage page or image Post by: BarryH on August 23, 2022, 03:38:02 AM Version 2022.126

Simple fix.Reset the SHADOW DEPTH to a zero or a 1 that second text will position itself off or as a shadow depth to thicken the text. LOOKS LIKE THIS MIGHT BE THE POSSIBLE FIX Fred Title: Re: Adding text to Qimage page or image Post by: admin on August 23, 2022, 01:16:52 PM Fred takes pride in beating me to the answer: he gets up with the witches. ;) That's definitely it. You have shadow turned on.

Don't blame me for being conscientious about Qimage. (I can even spell conscientious).Some people arrive at their office late; then their secretary brings them the morning latte and a breakfast burrito. The guy in his mail room has put copies on his desk which he peruses. He does have them color coded as Urgent, Important, WTF, and too stupid to read. It's closing in on 10 am at this point. Oh well Fred Title: Re: Adding text to Qimage page or image Post by: BarryH on August 23, 2022, 10:24:18 PM You are both right. My problem is fixed. Thanks Fred and Mike
