If you wish to place text under an image, you will need to use Image > Canvas resize... to add new blank canvas below the existing image...
If you experiment a bit, you should be able to figure out how to get the results you need!

I have found and used Image > Draw to no avail - the text does not appear!
As to Canvas resize, I can only use the photo area, not go out of it and a can not type text in the re-sizable box. It would be perfect if I can add a box under the photo.

Re: Add text in a photo
When you start typing text in the text box, you should see a black cross when you more the mouse over the image; when you click on the image the text should be placed where you click, and if you then move the mouse over the text it should be possible to move the text...jojopara wrote:I have found and used Image > Draw to no avail - the text does not appear!

Re: Add text in a photo
Yes, I would like to be able to put a text under a photo. I can't cope with the Draw command. I read that older versions have Add text command. How do I find and install one? I have still not given up the latest version, though.

Then you need to use Image > Canvas resize... to add new [white] canvas below the existing image, but you will probably need to experiment a bit to find the best settings to use.jojopara wrote:Yes, I would like to be able to put a text under a photo.

If so, it is probably best to experiment a bit more to discover how to use the tool, as the tool in XnView Classic [downloadable from the XnView.com home page] is generally similar...
If you see the above mouse cursor, you can then enter the selected text by clicking on the image where you wish to place the text, after entering the text and setting up the text properties.
