I'm setting up a cafe computer with a wallpaper changing program
(Wallmaster).

There'll be 30-odd wallpapers of local scenes, for the benefit of tourist
customers.

I'm labelling each photo with a caption, using MGI Photosuite.  This works
ok, but the text often gets lost against the background, particularly in a
woodland scene, for instance.

It occurred to me that the text would show up better if I can paste it onto
a background of base color - say, a 12mm strip of plain white or black that
I'd set up before adding the text.

Only trouble is, I have no idea how to do that part of the operation!
Suggestions would be much appreciated.  I have several graphic editors,
including Photoshop 7, so I'm sure I can find the right tool somewhere.
