GIMP :: Automate Application Of Text Captions To JPG Photos
Jan 5, 2014
What is the simplest way to "automate" the application of text captions to jpg photos. I have in mind to generate a "layer" into which I can paste the caption text to a predetermined position (eg bottom right).
This layer would then be "added" to the jpg photo to show on the photo when viewed in the usual way. The more automated this process could be, the better as, if successful, I would use it hundreds of times.
as described in the title, after choosing 'Text' tool and clicking aposition I like on the new empty image, the entire application shuts downright away.This happens every time.
how I add captions to my photos? I have looked in the support. Read another discussion but option not coming up on my screen. I read that there should be an option in the metadata menu. But nothing comes up. Only camera settings and such.
On PSE12, can I make the caption I have given a photo to appear on thumbnail within an album? Is it possible to not have the # of the photo within the album to appear in the upper left corner of the thumbnail?
I'm using PSE 10 with Windows 7, and I'd like to change the formatting of the captions on the photos I've got in slide shows, and those I'd like to print, i.e., change fonts, size, centered, etc. I've checked various manuals, online sources, and haven't found info on this.
I caption my football photos with each player's two digit jersey number, ie. 01-99. I then upload them to SmugMug with the intent of allowing viewers to use the "search" function to view photos of only their player. Unfortunately, the SmugMug search engine ignores any caption that has 2 or less characters. I would like to append all my football captions in Lightroom 3 with an additional identifier to lengthen the caption so it will become searchable, for example append the "01" to "Titans01". I don't care if identifier is at beginning or end. I just want to be able to append an entire album at one time, not just one at a time.
I am redoing a series of photos using a specific set of layers and filters, it takes quite some time to open all the stuff for each photo. I sthere a way to automate all or part of this process?
I'd like to copy and paste text created in MS Word onto photographs. I'd like to create a poster with an inspirational message super-imposed upon the picture itself.
I am trying to automate the sorting and movement of older photos into my preferred directory arrangement of capture year/day shown here:
From directories of older directories that were imported before I started using year/day:
This would be very tedious to do manually. My next idea is to re-import them with MOVE option, but I would lose all the editing. Is there any way to re-import these while preserving the edit steps?
I am trying to produce a slideshow in LR3 of a series of travel shots. Problem is that I want to insert a nice caption to each individual shot showing the place, country etc etc.
It seems the only way to do this is to enter the caption initially in the Metadata in the Library module and then select " Captions " in the Custom text box in the Slideshow module.
My problem is that I hate the clunky big white text that shows on the slideshow. I cannot seem to find anywhere where I can change this to a nicer text font, style and colour. You can change the style text in the text overlay panel but that then applies to the whole slideshow. I need a nice individual caption for each shot.
Is it possible to automate the following: I have a directory of about 50 jpg files. With each file I would like to:
- make the image square, by increasing the canvas size of the least dimension. ie if the width is less than the height, increase the width to the value of the height, or conversely if the height is less than the width
In addition tp adobe photshop i have a program i installed with my Canon XTI Digital called EOS Digital. Anytime I try to Browse and attach a photo I have to go to my pictures and some time the pictures are not there (the ones I downloaded into Adobe from my camera). There is a way to transfer the Adobe photos to this program but I forget how I did it.
I am getting this error when trying to edit photos from Lightroom with an external application. I am running Mac OS 10.8.2 and Lightroom 4.3 Pictures are stored on a NAS. Recently upgraded from MAC OS 10.6.8 and had no problem there for years. I have tried re-doing the permissions on the NAS files, but it didn't solve the problem.
When I try to open any photo using PE 11 as the default application, the photo doesn't open. I have to open the application first and then search for and import the photo into the application. Is this the way it is supposed to work?

I use your program & believe that it is the best photo editing application year-to-date beside Adobe Photoshop & it's FREE.
Since the Q2 your website had stated the version 2.7.2 had been released @ 04/15/2011, however I can't find anywhere @ your website to download this recent version & continue to take advantage of it.
I have a picture designed as a background for a slide. Is there any way I could automatically import text from another application,say excel, automaticaly. This way I want to create a series of slides based on the same backgrounds but with different text on them
I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 but get the following alert: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." Can it be reinstalled? It is not available under "History" and none of the available installs appear to be for Mac OS X (Version 10.7.4). S
I have PSE9 and a macbook pro 10.9. I lost the original DVD that came with my purchase of PSE. Some files must have gotten corrupted because I can't open the program without reintalling. It says, "Some of the application components are missing from the application directory. Please reinstall the application." I have the serial number and all and I registered the product. Is there somewhere I can download a new copy to install?
at photoshop cs6 extended downloaded in july, i now get the following message: "some of the application components are missing from the application directory. please reinstall the application."
I have made an application which gets some numbers from a server. I also want to put all these numbers in a Photoshop document (*.psd) so i can use it to make a small video with these numbers.
Now , is it possible to add something in my application (C++) so it could directly change the data in my text layers ? Is there any "library" ?
i switched gimp 2.6 to 2.8 and new text tool behaves strangely, as i remember in gimp 2.6 when i try to change text content with selecting old text and pasting new text i could use same text size and same font with my old text without doing anything but now in the gim 2.8 whenever i try to change content of a text layer i need to choose again font and text size from toolbox options, but why do i have to do this, i have a text placed on my image with a certain font and certain font size and i just want to alter my text conten not the size of text or font , it changes automatically to back text size and font whatever i used last time in another work.
summary: i want to change my text content without setting my font and font size properties, i want to use my text layers old properties
