how do I add text to photos on an iMac?

I want to add text graphics to a photo. Do I need a special app or can I do that with what is already on my MacBook Pro?

Hello,


Open the image you would like to caption from within the Preview app located inside of your Applications folder. Go to the View menu and select "Show Edit Toolbar" or push Command-Shift-A to bring up the Edit Toolbar. Click on the text tool within the toolbar and then click on the photo to create your text. From there you can adjust the size, color, and position of the text.


Or myself I'd use GraphicConverter...
