I will be trying these apps out. Interesting.
This is just what I have been looking for so that I can add text to my photographs, all I have to do know is figure out which one will work best for me!
That fount app is a lifesaver. so many times im asked to match a clients current branding and they dont know what fonts their own branding uses. saves me trawling dafont for hours!
