I’d love to know how one can add text directly to a photo in Google Photos, just like one can do in the Apple Photo app. Editing in Google Photos does not offer this feature. I have many scanned photos in Google Photos, photos that were take 130 years (or more) ago. Adding names on the photo would aid recipients in identifying the person or person in the photo.
Still trying to add edits, marks, and texts in Google photos on the PC, web version. When send in photos to office, how do I make comments or notes on the picture? Very frustrating to have such a great platform, but only the phones can edit.
Well for one thing I never use the Walled Garden called: albums. I prefer to do my own organizing involving renaming files and storing them in apropo folders in my phone. That could be the problem? .... That I want to work outside the Android box?... Thinking I'm smarter than a phone? ...--It could be that Android "Photos" is incapable of formatting the text. Not that I require normal computer-grade formatting such as infinite color choices, text size and fonts. But I would like to control the line breaks within a sentence. For example I might want a seven word sentence unbroken across the top or bottom of a photo. But Android "Photos" automatically chooses a giant text font to start, breaking up the sentence every two words or so, with no way to change that even as you change the font size by pinching /resizing the text. In short, it works just fine if you only want to add one or two words. Their lies the beautiful "Walled Garden." Just don't try to escape with your own highfalutin ideas. The above improvement could be accomplished with just a few lines of code. I'm dismayed that the quality of Android apps has not kept up with the improvements in our hardware, not even a little bit. Android can run real programs such as Gmail, what's the deal with this crippleware called apps? Google needs to get with the program. --Doug Bashford
