What is the easiest way that I can add captions to the bottom (or top) of some of my pictures? Not too fancy – just black text on white backgrounds.

Thanks

I believe Irfanview does it.

For adding a caption at the bottom do Image – Canvas size and enter the height of a new border in pixels with ‘relative’ checked, say 40 pixels or so (depends on whether you’re printing this or showing on web), click the up arrow on ‘anchor’ to put the new border at the bottom, select ‘white’ for canvas extension color.

Next do View – New guide for 50% vertical to get a center line, then select the Type tool with the centered option, click on the Guide and start typing.

Use the Horizontal Type Tool….."T" symbol in the toolbox. Choose Font Size, Style, Color …etc.
Type in your caption.
