tiffanie50 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I can't figure out what I'm missing here . . . When I try to type text onto my image, it's not showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Are you typing on the topmost layer? Is the alpha value low? The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Possible problems: 1. Do you have anything else selected? If so, de-select & try again on a new layer. 2. Is the font size large enough for the image? 3. Is the font colour different to the image? 4. Is the font supported in Paint.Net? Usually it will tell you if it isn't. Try this & this doesn't help, perhaps someone else will post a response. Hope it works for you. 1 Knowledge is no burden to carry.

tiffanie50 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks for the help. I knew it was something stupid, I just couldn't come up with it on my own. I had something else selected that was hiding behind the color window. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 No problem at all. Never be afraid to ask a stupid question because they are more easily dealt with than stupid mistakes. - author unknown. Please, feel free to ask for help.

damunzy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Thanks from me to barbieq25 - I had something in a lower layer selected. For some reason I expected when I created a new layer that the selection would be released. Live and learn. This thread is, as of 2012-02-16, the top result on Google for "paint.net text not showing". There probably have been many other people that have been helped by this 3 year old post and I am sorry if it is reviving a zombie but this thread is valuable. Suggestion to those that are receiving use of these suggestions. Take the time to register and then give some love by clicking the green + at the bottom right of the poster that helped you. It is a little token of appreciation. Edited February 16, 2012 by damunzy 3 “There are 10 types of people in the world.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 ....I had something in a lower layer selected. For some reason I expected when I created a new layer that the selection would be released. Live and learn. Selections persist across layers and layer operations. You would find it difficult if the current selection disappeared every time you changed the active layer and you're right about the dead thread too! <closed> ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
