But I was not able to find how to add text to it. I think that should be possible with some third party tools. To Annotate the non-PDF files: Open your picture in Preview, then select View » Customize Toolbar. Drag the Annotate tool to your toolbar. Click on the Annotate icon & hold on for a while to see all types of annotations.Then just choose the type of annotation you want to make from the newly-created toolbar element, and use the mouse to add it to your picture. You can also use following modifiers: * Press the '+' or '-' keys to increase or decrease line thickness. * Choose Tools » Show Colors and use the color wheel to change the color of the selected object (including notes). * Choose Tools » Show Fonts and use the fonts panel to change the text note font. This functionality could be useful when commenting screenshots. I will give you more details about adding text, once I know about it. Regards Venkat Hi Joanne,

I wish to add text, and some kind of border to photos before I add them to my website. How can I do this? iPhoto seems not to have such a function, and in Preview the annotate options are grayed out. Do I need Aperture? Many thanks. Please help.
