Ducklet Cat Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi I wrote text in Paint.Net And now I need to do some changes in what I wrote, in the size, and colour. But when I choose the text tool (the A icon on the tool box) and try to select what I wrote, it just won't select it, so I can't edit anything. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

BoltBait Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 That's how the text tool works. Once you switch away from the text it is converted into a bitmap for regular bitmap editing. I recommend placing text on its own layer, that way you can easily delete it and start over.

Text isn't editable in Paint.NET, but you could resize it and recolour it using several different other tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bEPIK Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 He was referring to the Floating Tools Window in Paint.NET. Water, Wood and Hair Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipp92 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i think he means plugins like tube oblique to bend the text... @cat: if you write your text in its own layer you can edit it later, just delete the layer and make a new one Personal Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducklet Cat Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Actually I need both. Sometimes I need to change the spelling of what I wrote, and sometimes I need to change the font size and colour ....etc I'm too lazy to recreate another layer and write all over again. Is there a plug-in to do these tasks? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bEPIK Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 How about this plugin? I'm not sure how well it works as I don't use/need it. Water, Wood and Hair Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcushing Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 That makes sense. I guess I just expected it to be editable because I opened a Photoshop file where the text layer was editable. It's cool that it can still import an editable photoshop text layer even though you can't edit it within Paint.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
