How do I keep text readable on a busy photo?

Leave 'Outline for readability' on — a thin contrasting edge (white around dark text, dark around light text) keeps it legible on both light and dark areas.

Can I put text on a whole batch?

Yes — the same text and style go on every image, sized relative to each picture's width.

Can I place the text exactly where I want?

Pick any of nine positions and set the distance from the edge. For free placement on one picture, use the position that is closest and adjust the angle and margin.

Can I use multiple lines or different text on each picture?

Each run uses one line of text applied to every image. For different text on each picture, run them separately.
