Inline images removed out of respect for those using dial up. And I moved the thread to the correct forum.

Just about any modern graphics / photo editor can do that, such as Paint Shop Pro:

Yep. Just about any...

Even MS Paint will let you load an image and add text to it....

yes but i want it to look high quality, and with special effects, like you see in the pic.

MS Paint wont let you do that.

A free alternative might be Paint.NET, http://www.getpaint.net

Another free alternative is the GIMP. But, just having the software to make that doesn't mean that you'll be able to . I'm not saying your not capable of it, but there's a learning curve with most powerful editors before the user is capable of producing professional looking images.

I've never used it, but I do hear that GiMP is pretty good.

Practice, and practice some more - after you get a feel for the program and it's capabilities, you'll be well on your way to making professional graphics.

I does take a lot of practice. Always work with a Copy of the item you are working on. That way you can try out all sorts of things without losing what you are trying to edit. It'll take a little time, but it'll be worth it.

This isn't answering your question but, I use fireworks that comes with the MX2004 suite. I can't answer your question because I'm not that good at it yet...I'm still on the practice practice practice part of it. I know you can download different fonts as well, something I just learned.

http://www.1001freefonts.com/index2.html

I got some from here.

Anyways you can make the font have a different background then the picture, and then make it translucent as well to get the effect of your first picture.

Also for web design I goto a different forum specifically for things like this (hope this is ok, if not erase and I'm sorry)

http://www.webdevforums.com/

Hope that helped, even if only little.
