To add text to a photo:

1. Adjust Brightness and Contrast
When you insert text to a photo, the problem is that the text is not very noticeable. In this case, adjust Brightness and Contrast of the background photo to appropriate level.
After inserting a photo into the Edit window, increase Brightness of the photo to make it nearly white, or you can also decrease Brightness to make the photo darker.

At this time, if you drag the Contrast slider to make the image less contrasty, unnoticeable, the text becomes visible on the other hand.

2. Enter Text
Next step is inserting a text. If you have brighter photo, add dark colored text, whereas you should add light colored text to dark background photo for the best result.

Entering Text

Darkening Image

You can make the text sharper by checking Sharpen effect in the Effects tab.
