Hi,
I'm working on a tease and I want to caption pictures. On my phone I have Phonto, which allows me to add shadows to the text, making it more readable. Does anyone know of caption software for Ubuntu which can do the same?

Text' tool to put some text on the image and then used:
Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Drop Shadow....

Y: 0
Blur radius: 7.86
Grow Shape: Circle
Grow Radius: 7
Colour: 1d1c1c
Opacity: 1.5
