You may have discovered how easy it is to add a few words to your photo using Picasa 3’s Text tool. But, did you know you can write complete paragraphs?(Member Tutorial Video:24.Adding Text to Pictures)
You need to know that the text will not wordwrap, so you must end each line with Enter. It also helps to have a solid background for the paragraph. But, notice that you can control both the fill color and the outline color of the text. If you play around with making the fill a light color and the outline dark (or vice versa depending on your background), you can usually make the text pretty readable.
