Hi,
What is a good and simple way to add in a line of text superimposed on a photo (or in an added white strip along the lower edge) when printing a picture?
Like, eg., a byline, date, fielname, copyrigt or similar stuff. I mean, I don’t want to include the textline permanently in the picture, only to add it in sometimes when printing for some particular purpose.
I figure having a couple of such lines in a textfile and cut an paste from it when needed. I’m running PS3, Photoshop and Bridge in Windows XP.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance,
Sverk

A text layer perhaps? Don’t flatten the image because that will imbed the text into the photo where it will remain forever.

Sounds like a good idea for a script. Otherwise you could simply store a template layer with all your documents and just turn off the visibility. You may also get some of that working by abusing the contact sheet assistant and only using one image per page…
