Hopefully, the screen shots can be seen.
Firstly, both Aperture and Border FX are the latest versions.
I keep experimenting to find a way of positioning text on an image. The position of the text is not the same after saving. Any ideas as to what setting I should be using. This is most frustrating.
See screen captures below; note red text within Border FX in the `1st image, and then when it is saved (2nd image)
Mac OS X (10.7.2)
What is the vertical aligment in the text box? Also in your iages the one in BofderFx does not have the border that the image saved back to Aperture has.
Here's an image I just did in BorderFx. Text is loczted in same place on the image in BorderFx and when it was saved back.

List all of the settings on Text tab. Be sure to scroll down if you have to. Report any section with a checked box.
Also report the border settings, and anything unusual on the first tab. (Sorry, don't have Aperture available just now, but there are some settings there that effect text placement, iirc.)
TEXT - Default
VERTICAL ALIGNMENT - Arrow down over line (right box)
FONT ......................
DROP SHADOW.......
ADVANCED..............
TEXT BOX STYLE.... Default
As i showed in my two images the placement of the text in BrofderFX and Aperture is the same. So it is possible to do it.
I asked about the border in your inmage. In your BorderFx image there is no border but in the Aperture image you have a large border.
To try and figure out what is wrong I suggest you start by just ading the text to the image and looking at that in Aperture.

I remove the border when the plug-in fist starts, but large border always appears when I finish the Text Edit and click done. The result when brought back into Aperture is what I get. I just can't find out what is wrong. I have tried (unsucessfully) to conact Reinhard Uebel, the developer for help.
So you're saying with the settings you show in your first screen capture of the image in BorderFx if at the point you click Done teh image shows up in Aperture as the second screen capture? That's definityl not right and needs to be fixed before worring about the text placement
You might want to try re-installing BorderFx to see if that fixes this problem.
BTW what version of OS, Apertutre and BorderFx?
Second the recommendation to delete and re-install BorderFX.
Fwiw, development seems to have stopped over the summer. I have twice emailed the developer and never heard back.

According to the first post in this thread, 10.7.2, 3.2.2, and "the most recent version". Still worth double-checking.
Well, call me old fasion but I like numbers.
And you know that saying 'I'm from Florda, show me!' đ
I think we should paint "Show Me" on the open gate that leads to our little patch of clarity here in the big orchard. And I don't think anyone is going to accuse me of not using the phrase "be specific" and its variants enough đ .
Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure this belongs to the Ozarks, and not the Okefenokee.
