How to place text on a full screen image?
beamer add tag
topnush 
I have an image which should take the full screen in beamer.

```
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{overpic}
\begin{document}
{
	\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
	\begin{frame}[plain]
		\makebox[\linewidth]{\includegraphics[height=\paperheight]{example-image-a}}
	\end{frame}
}

\end{document}
```

I would like to write some text (the source of the image)  at the bottom in the middle in gray.  I tried overpic but I can't see how to  make it work in this case.

One possible approach using Ti*k*Z:

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{tikz}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[plain]
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
	
% Background image
\node[at=(current page.center)]{%
	\includegraphics[height=\paperheight]{example-image-duck}
};	

% Text
\node[at=(current page.south),yshift=0.2cm]{
  \color{gray}Some text
};

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
```
