[MacDV] Creating DVD slideshow

[Tim Selander]

iPhoto won't let you add text. It sounds like you don't have any 
Photoshop type software, so if you wanted to do it in a word 
processor, copy a photo that would make a good background into 
the document, make a text block and add your text. Now use Grab 
(/Applications/Utility folder) to take a screen shot. Save it and 
put it into iPhoto.
