Post Adding text to images
I don't think this is the right place to post this, but then I am not sure if there is a right place to post this. After all, I am a mod-maker and I am looking for help

I am working on creating a website and am trying to figure out how to make this image:
Image

look like this one:
Image

So basically, I have a blank button as a jpg, that I want to add text that matches the one above. I'll need to create atleast 4-5, maybe more, buttons each with different text. I can add text with Paint.NET or GIMP, but I can't make it look right.

I think the best option would be to write it in a program (maybe even Paint?) and save it as png as jpg will decrease the quality of the writing. Not sure if it is of any help...

Just find a font you like and use it, and you can add it in paint even (just make sure to set the background for the text as transparent first)

Like that. I suppose the art building has Photoshop on the computers, maybe I should venture in there some time.

Brasilian? Many graphics programs have the capability of adding text to images. Just check out the menus on whatever programs you have. Also, you can download free graphics programs - there are quite a few - and they usually have a menu selection called "text". That usually adds text wherever you want it.
