-The upper section of the panel defines the text to be displayed.  The default insert text is the system descriptor “Copyright.”   The descriptor name is always bracketed with paired percentage (%) signs to look like this:  **<nowiki>%%descriptor%%</nowiki>**.  Descriptor values can be typed manually and bracketed so.  You can also click the “Insert” button and open the Insert Descriptor window which lets you conveniently choose from a list of available descriptors.  Of course, you will have to make certain that the “Copyright” field or any other descriptor field actually contains text.  Alternatively, you can simply type over the default descriptor with regular text input.  For multi-line text, type “\n” to force a line break.  Right-clicking in the Text field opens a contact menu via which you could alternatively access the Insert Descriptor window as well as the option to insert special characters.

-The middle section of the Text panel defines the font, style, shading, and shadow color.  Using the shadow effect is recommended for better readability when text is superimposed on an area with light and dark background.  The shadow color should be a strong contrast to the font color, for example use a black shadow for a white text color or vice versa.

 Font size remains constant for all picture sizes (thumbnail, zoomed, image viewer).  The text will only be scaled if it otherwise would not fit into the picture.  To turn this feature off, uncheck the box “Scale Text to Image Size”.
