Thanks, I'll try the procedure and/or look for a companion editor when need to manipulate text

Well, I'm used to manipulate text as vector... but if it's possible to achieve a similar behaviour as rasterized layer/object still could be fine.

Hi again It's possible to create text as layers with some kind of plugin? So I can use rotate, resize and object alignment (which is very useful) also with them. (A bit like shape tool behave).

I'll try plugins above. But seems to be the ones I need I'll try also with eraser tool, however can I make an area to remove (a polygon made point-to-point) using a specific tools using tollerance and a line? I think how to improve the post title, should I put a tag? *EDIT* (Seems I can't edit post title, only body of post)

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find in Paint.NET the functions I use often: 1) How to straighten photos, using an horizontal line or a geometrical figure (I tried yet the radius straighten, but the photos are deformed then) 2) Some info on how to add a transparency layer and how to "colour" an area with transparent background; 3) How to make a gradient of two or more colours with advanced settings; 4) How to cut an area of a photo with precision (point-to point system and point to point "guided" based on colour tollerance levels; magic wand seems not to cut and then I haven't a firm hand); 5) Advices to additional plugins for photo editing (borders, frames, artistic effects, ecc ecc). Thanks in advance ^^
