Inserting text into photos

How do I do this?

For example, I want to put my business name at the bottom of all my photos.

I have iPhoto 6 (6.06).

Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

You'll need an external editor to do this. In order of price - starting with free - here are some suggestions:

Seashore
Graphic Coverter
Acorn
Photoshop Elements

There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.

You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
