Captionize Photographs Software


Question: Are there any free download programs that will allow me to put captions on photos and have the caption on each when I print them? I have tried Picasa II and HP Photo Gallery. But neither allows the caption to appear with the photo when printed on the printer.

Answer: Typically captions are defined as text appearing under or outside of a picture, as you discovered with Picasa. What you want to do is add text to your actual pictures. There are a number of free programs that allow you to do this.
Starting with the easiest to use first, PhotoFiltre, a French program, is available in English at photofiltre.free.fr/download(underscore)en.htm . Using PhotoFiltre, you can reposition the text with your mouse or with the arrow keys on the keyboard. When you're finished adjusting the text, hit the Enter key on the keyboard to "cement" the text in place.
Another program is Paint.net, available at www.getpaint.net, which allows the use of layers, making it easy to reposition text. With Paint.net, if you add a layer before adding text by using the Layers palette, you can easily reposition the text. Use the Layers palette to flatten the image, which finalizes the text, before saving the picture.
