Yes it does do that, but it takes everything you did away. At least in paint you can manipulate the text box and change fonts and sizes after inserting.

I don't know if I am doing it the easiest way.

It is quite simple really, IMO. You drag your mouse creating a rectangle. Insert text - type In your message, chose font (which you will leave alone after you find one you like,) color, size - again things you will probably not change later. If it isn't big enough (for example) hit edit undo. Do it right once and it is very easy the next time. Gene

I am trying to add names of plants on images so all the names are different lengths so each one has to change. It would be nice if there was a way to slide through pictures like in windows photo viewer and just quickly pop the name right on them. I haven't been able to find something that simple so far. The irfan view definitely works though.

This is the largest font 72 I think.

It's free , works, and fairly user friendly. My default photo software. My brain and Photoshop do not get along with each other. Gene
