How do i add captions to my photos when using picasa 2?

Question

I have downloaded picasa2 as i want to add funny captions to some of my photos, but i cant see how to do it. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Found this page on how to add captions using Picasa
"Captions

You can add a caption to any photo while you are in the “Edit Picture” screen. Underneath the individual picture, click on the text that says “Make a caption!” Type in your caption. You can show or hide the caption from the photo using the button on the left. You can delete the caption simply by clicking the wastebasket icon on the right.

Captions in Picasa are stored in each image's EXIF data, so they stay with your pictures. If you share a picture with a friend who has Picasa, your captions will appear in your friend's Picasa view, and vice versa.

Captions are also searchable inside Picasa."

You can use MS Paint to add captions, or

you can do it easily enough with Irfanview, which is also free

just select an area of your image, hit CTRL+T to bring up the text input box, enter your text and you're done

also have a look at TextStylist if you want 3d effects - it's free too

Answer 3

I had the same faking problem. It turns out that when you double click a picture on Picasa 3, you are automatically taken to the "Edit View". Below the picture there is TINY line that says "Captions", and that is where you can input captions for your pictures. Thanks for being soooo user-friendly, Google (sarcasm).
