Universal Solution for Centering Text Under Image

I spent two days reading various posts, blogs, suggestions, and methods for centering text under an image. I originally saw and used the figcaption method, which looks wonderful in Sigil, but did not translate when converted to mobi.

Since then I read that 'this reader likes it with this method' and 'that reader doesn't like that method' and what it sounded like there is no single solution that will look right in every e-reader.

I will be publishing to Amazon but also want an epub version. The "SVG" wrapper method sounded like the most touted, but then invariably someone came on and said, 'The Sony reader doesn't read SVG' or whatever. And frankly, SVG looked like a monster.

Is there no simple way to center text under an image that is universal??? I know it isn't recommended but I am seriously leaning towards just putting the text in the graphic in Adobe Photoshop to make sure it will be correct in every reader. Even if that degrades the text quality. It seems better than having it look totally unprofessional due to not aligning under the image.

Thanks for any guidance.
