About the Text Tool
The Text Tool window enables you to render text to the image. To use it enter a new value in the "Text Value" box on the text tool window and then click the point on the image where you would like the text to appear.  The text tool supports shadowing, texturing, outlines, and gradients. You may also draw a custom path for the text to be rendered on. Just check the "Custom Path" box, and then draw a path on the image by clicking and holding the left mouse button on the image while you move the mouse cursor over you desired path. Click commit when you are satisfied with your text value and parameters', click cancel or the X in the upper right corner of the text window to close it.
