This is bound to make me look like a complete numpty but here goes:

Q: How do you add text to a jpeg/photo ?

I have tried doing this in Microsoft paint but the result looks like shit. The photo and text lose all sharpness.

Cheers

Don't use Microsoft paint! ;)
Use either Photoshop or Paintshop Pro.
Open your image, create a new layer and use the text tool.
Flatern the image and save... simple as that!

Hi Will

I use U-LEAD 3 which is quite easy to use as you simply add the text & then save it under a different name, PHOTOSHOP & MGI PHOTO SUITE 4 are brillant for editing but take some learning.
