New user confused by seemingly simple task…

I have a number of photos that I need to annotate with labels in various locations on the image. These labels need to be in 10 or 12 pt black type in a black bordered white background box. Ideally, I’d be able to type the label and have the box create itself around the variable length type. And then I need to move the boxed label around to it’s proper place on the image. Seems simple, but I can’t figure it out.

Can someone please help?

Can’t be done like that in PS.

You’ll need to type your text in and draw a box around it manually afterwards.
