Nov 13, 2013 2:45 PM in response to jchittleby Keith Barkley,You might have to do it in an external editor, save the image with the text as a tiff, and import that.
I suggest something like photoshop elements.

Nov 13, 2013 4:02 PM in response to jchittleby Old Toad,As Keithj said create a custom image with the text and photos you want with Pages or a 3rd party image editor like one of these:
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38

GIMP for Mac - Free

Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. It can then be added to the calendar project.
