Talking Pictures & Captions

Everyone. I am looking for a program to install on my laptop that will allow me to put down picture captions for my digitial camera pictures before I print them off. I have horrible hand writing and don't want to "write" on my photo's...I would rather just type them in.

Free and downloadable would be prefered....

Thanks,
RC

IrfanView works well for this.

What about Microsoft Paint? All computeres that I have seen comes standard with it. Just bring up microsoft paint go to file open then go to the folder where your photos are and select a photo open it then use the text tool that is in Microsoft Paint.

That is how I did a somewhat fancy custom photo of my 63 with the cars "name" I gave her on the photos.

It works well and you can control the size of the text as well as the color and the font style.

True...but I have 11,359 to do and want some type of album layout to go along with my work and be able to print multiple pictures per page...like 4 per page.

Well, that's a little different. You can do layout, editing, and formatting with IrfanView as well. Adobe has a program for it, but it's pricey.
IIRC, can't you use Google Sketchup for this as well?

Ah ok. I got a program with my digital camera that allows me to print multiple photos per page. Cant remember the name of the program since I never used it. I just have been saving photos on a flash drive instead of printing them out. I just right click on the photo then propertys and then I can put in what I want to describe the photo.
