A line of text may be overlayed on the output image such as for a copyright
message. Optionally the filename can be used.
Click the Text button to open the text set up screen.
The position is limited at present to seven preset locations in the corners and
centre, relative to the selection area. Note the actual text only appears when
previewed, and when saved or printed. In the main window a bounding box indicates the
position of the text. Point size has no real relevance in this
context so some
experimenting may be required. The size on the set up screen is about the same as it will
appear on the image.
The font size will scale to suit the number of pixels and the selection
size but beware of reducing the resolution of the image too much
and making text look blocky.
Turn on the text by checking 'Add
Text'. There is a check box for this on the main screen as well. Close this
box then click Full-Screen Preview to see the effect. All settings are stored.
Note - Text does not appear in the main view, only as a bounding box.
See this example.
A frame can be added around an image. It can only be fitted to the whole image, not to the cropped area. Use this as an extra effect which can be applied separately. Click the frame setup icon to set the line thickness, spacing and colour of two lines.
Turn on the frame by checking 'Add Frame'. There is a check box for this on the main screen as well. This effect can be seen in the main view.
A basic printing function is provided. Clicking the Print button will open the printer setup dialogue. Choose Portrait or Landscape (which refers to the paper orientation) and click OK to start printing.
