How to add text to photos in macOS 10.13.2? Preview no longer works for this.

Since the most recent operating system update, I can no longer add text to photos in Preview. Is there another way?

Thanks, den.thed,


I got it figured out yesterday. It was a dark pic, the "text" was defaulted black and appeared in the center where I couldn't see it. I was trying to draw a text box in a light area, which doesn't work. But it still seems Apple should put this tool in the Edit window of the Photos app to eliminate this workaround.
