Press the Spacebar eight or nine times, type "KODAK VHC-2456," and then hit the Spacebar another eight or nine times and type the sequential two-digit number (22 in this case). Now, click near the left side of your frame and type any two-digit number as your frame number (I chose 21). Step Four Press T to get the Type tool, and in the Font pop-up menu in the Options Bar, choose either Helvetica Bold or Arial Bold as your font, and then choose a small size in the Font Size pop-up menu (adjust your tracking if needed in the Character palette, found under the Window menu).

Step Two Press D to set your Foreground color to black, and then press Option-Delete (PC: Alt-Backspace) to fill your square selection with black. Press M to get the Rectangular Marquee tool, press-and-hold the Shift key, and draw a square selection in the center of the image area.

Although it's got a few steps, it's very easy to do. I've seen this used everywhere from photographers' online galleries and postcards for studios, to prints in wedding albums.
