Hello, I'm brand new to all of this so, I definitely have questions as I go! Thank you for your patience.
While following a text tutorial, I am guided to use the ellipse (linear) as a selection tool to capture the top half or so of some text.
For some reason, the selection I make with the ellipse tool is not holding after I de-click my mouse.
I am hoping someone can shine some light on how to maintain the capture of the text so I can add gradient.
If anyone is familiar, it is from a tutorial by kaunas163 " Paint.NET tutorial number 123 - Cool italic, Radial/fade and gradual color text effect.
Its perfect for a part of my website and would love to apply. I'm following it to the letter and hope to capture the top half of the text with a whitish gradient like she shows.
Thank you for your time!
Phil
