I saw an archived answer to superimposing text on a jpeg file which solved by initial search. The problem is that the text is so small it does not show up. I would also like to change the colour of the text.
I'm trying to convert tiff's into jpeg's and have tried two methods that DON'T WORK. I tried dragging them into iPhoto but a window comes up saying it doesn't recognize the file and 2) tried opening in Preview to "Save as" but the pic won't even open up in Preview.
Is there a downloadable convertor for Mac or something else I can do?
Mac screen resolution is getting higher and higher, which is nice, but the downside is that we seem to have lost "what you see is what you get." I have set the default document size of Text-Edit to about the size of an 8 1/2 x 11 document, which fits easily on the screen. I have what appears to be a single page of text. It all easily fits in the document window. The headline fits across the width of the page. But when I choose Print, the print preview shows that the text is going to spill out onto two sheets of paper. I exit out of the print document and reduce the text size so that it all prints out on one sheet of paper. The problem is, the size of the text onscreen is now TINY! It looks like it's about 6 point while the printed text looks like it's about 12 point! No WYSIWYG! When I revert the document to the way it was originally, where it was going to print out on two sheets of paper, and then hold my printed document up next to the screen, the printed size matches the onscreen size almost perfectly, even though, if printed out at this size, the text would spill out onto two pages and be huge. In other words, 18 point size text prints out at about 12 points and 12 pt text prints out at about 6pts, so there's about a 6pt difference in how text looks onscreen and how it prints out. Again, No WYSIWYG! My older Macs had much lower-resolution screens, but text printed out at about the same apparent size on screen. I know the original Macs had 72dpi screens so that they would closely match the printed size of text, and I like the fact that monitors keep getting better, but is there a way around this problem of printed text not matching the size of onscreen text?
I sent a jpeg to my dad's computer via his AOL e-mail account. His OS is 10.4.11. When he opened the jpeg, it completely overflowed his screen--he had to scroll horizontally and vertically to be able to see everything. Why is this happening and how can it be fixed so that the jpeg can be viewed in normal size on his screen?

I just bought an iMac. It is unable to recognize photos stored on my old pc in jpeg format. When I try to e mail them, the iMac simply shows a blank page, and when I try to import them from a thumb drive the iMac doesn't even see them on the drive.
I see how to convert 1 page from a pdf file to a jpeg using Preview. I have several pdf files with each consisting of @90 pages. Is there a way to convert all pages at once? I would like to set up a slide show with the pdf pages converted to jpeg photos. All comments are welcome.
I'm able to make DVDs from iPhoto or IMovie & I've mastered IDVD's Menus pretty well. The DVDs play ok in DVD players to that's a plus. Now, what I want to do is somehow put folders of photos .... mainly those I've used in the slideshows...... if possible, on the same DVD. The idea is I can gift a DVD with a video/slideshow & if the recipient wants the photos they can insert DVD disc into their own computer (not necessarily Apple) & download the photos.
I added 2GB of Memory to my imac (early 2008), initially removed the old 1GB, would not start and got a beeping sound, moved the new 2Gb to the empty slot, and added the old 1GB to a slot, started fine but the PC would not recognize the new 2GB. Finally added another 2 GB, took the old 1GB out and would not start again and gave off the beeping sound. Other than not putting them in correctly because that was done numerous times?
I have a mid 2010 27" iMac and just added 16 gig of new ram (first two slots came with 2 gig each and I bought and had installed two more 8 gig - so I can run Final Cut Pro X) Well, after the new RAM was installed by an apple certified dealer - it kernel crashed about 5 times randomly, which it had never done before - It was obvious it was caused by the new RAM - I took it back and they replaced it - and it has now kernal crashed 6 times - Are 8 Gig Ram cards not compatible with 2010 imacs? These guys seem like they know what they are doing - but enough is enough - I know in Apple's literature they mention that only 2 and 4 gig upgrades are possible - but they said the 8 gigs just came out
Got an Apple Desktop 27" in January with osx Lion. Up until today, at start-up, the desktop filled the display window. At startup today Desktop did not fill window. How to resize desktop. Tried every menu in every window to no avail.
Is there a way to increase the size of the displayed mail, as you are creating it? I have mine set to 12 point text, but it is still difficult to read. The e-mail when received is fine, it's the creating that's "tiny"?
I am looking to edit my photos by adding text, arrows or other marks. Do I need to buy special software? With my old PC, I just used the window paintbrush program.
I have some pics that I want to put titles into/onto. I am putting together a poster. The top of the poster has a picture. I want to put some text on top of/into the pic. What is a SIMPLE and EASY TO USE app where I can open the pic and type in the text and do some formatting? I do not want a 'template' app. The one's in pages don't work for this project. Oh, I want it to be able to use the fonts I have. A program that gives me limited fonts is NOT going to work.
Is it possible to text from my iMac to a cellphone? I was asked to send a text to a friends' iPhone from my iMac, but I've never tried and wasn't sure if I could or if it was possible.

I want to allow my Google group to fill info out on a Numbers form, but the Mac users evidently don't have Numbers. I sent it to them as a pdf file, but text can't be added to it as a pdf file. There has got to be a way. I tried using Tools - annotate - add text, but that didn't really work.
on [url]... the boxes stay blank when I type. I tried downloading a chrome and firefox as a different browser from safari but it doesn't let me as my Mac is too old. I am currently having to copy and paste into the text boxes.
I was sat at my desk and the screensaver was on when i noticed that a string of text about arachnids appeared.As my screen saver theme is 'nature' I initially thought that was very clever of Apple.
