Hi guys, I'm a super noob at Photoshop, but I somehow landed a real job using it. I need help doing something that seems like it should be obvious, but I can't figure it out.

How do I add text above or below a picture, so that it looks like s storybook? I'm basically just adding rational to some one else's pictures. I'm kicking myself for not being able to figure this out, I feel really dumb.

Can anyone help me out?

hi,
we all go thru that...

just enlarge the hiegth of the canvas, not the picture, this will give room to put your text either above or below image........
then put in a fill layer ....
then add your text layer , reposition and size if required...

Either two text layers or drag out a large box for your text using the type tool.
