1. OPEN UP PSP

2. GO TO FILE

3. GO TO OPEN AND SELECT THE GRAPHIC YOU WANT TO ADD TEXT TO.

4. CLICK ON THE "A" ICON ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF YOUR PSP. THIS IS THE TEXT TOOL

5. CLICK ON YOUR GRAPHIC. IN THE BOX THAT WILL OPEN UP, TYPE THE TEXT YOU WANT.
A. YOU CAN CHANGE THE FONT IN THE UPPER LEFT AREA OF THE BOX

B. YOU CAN CHANGE THE FONT SIZE IN THE UPPER MIDDLE AREA OF THE BOX

C. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO MAKE THE TEXT BOLD, ITALIC OR UNDERLINED RIGHT ABOUT THE AREA WHERE YOU TYPED YOUR TEXT.

D. YOU CAN CHANGE THE COLOR OF YOUR TEXT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF WHERE YOU TYPED YOUR TEXT.

D1. YOU SHOULD SEE 4 LITTLE BOXES...TWO GROUPS OF TWO.

D1A. THE UPPER TWO BOXES ARE FOR COLOR. THE TOP ONE IS FOR THE OUTLINE AND THE BOTTOM IS FOR THE FILL COLOR.

D1B. THE LOWER TWO BOXES ARE FOR PATTERNS. THE UPPER BOX WILL GIVE YOU A PATTERNED OUTLINE FOR YOUR TEXT.

THE BOTTOM WILL GIVE YOU A PATTERNED FILL FOR YOUR TEXT.

6. ONCE YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING TO YOUR LIKING, AT THE BOTTOM YOU WILL NOTICE RADIAL BUTTONS WITH VECTOR, SELECTION,FLOATING AND ANTI ALIAS.

**FOR MY PERSONAL CHOICE I USE VECTOR. THIS WAY I CAN ADJUST THE SIZE AND PLACEMENT OF THE TEXT ONCE I CLICK OKAY.**

7. CLICK OKAY

8. YOU SHOULD NOW SEE YOUR TEXT ON YOUR GRAPHIC. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VECTOR IMAGE SHOULD BE TWO LITTLE SQUARES.
THE LEFT HAND SQUARE SHOULD BE THE MIDDLE OF YOUR TEXT WHILE THE RIGHT HAND SIDE SQUARE IS TO ADJUST THE TEXT AT AN ANGLE.>br> PLACE YOUR CURSOR ON THE LEFT HAND SQUARE AND HOLD DOWN YOUR LEFT MOUSE BUTTON TO DRAG THE TEXT TO THE POSITION YOU WANT IT
TO BE IN. SHOULD YOU NEED TO RESIZE YOUR TEXT, THE BOXES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TEXT WILL DO THAT. JUST PLACE YOUR CURSOR
ON THE BOX ON WHICH EVER SIDE YOU NEED TO CHANGE AND DRAG IT UNTIL IT'S THE SIZE YOU WANT IT TO BE.

9. AFTER YOU GET IT ALL SHAPED HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE, GO TO LAYERS (TOP MENU BAR) AND MERGE AND VISIBLE.

THIS SHOULD MERGE ALL LAYERS TOGETHER.

10. GO TO FILE AND CHOOSE "SAVE AS" AND NAME THE GRAPHIC WHATEVER YOU WANT AND SAVE IT AS A .GIF OR A JPEG FILE

10A. THE REASON IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAVE AS RATHER THAN SAVE IS SO THAT YOU DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR BLANK TAG IN THE EVENT THAT YOU MAY WISH TO USE IT AGAIN.

That's all there is to it. Once you are comfortable adding text, play around with the effects. You may be surprised at the things you can do!
