I can see that layers allow you to keep "objects" (I know they aren't objects in the PP sense) separate, but it's a shame they can't be edited afterwards. Thanks to both of you. Shame about this, as it was a feature I used a lot in Photo-Paint.

I've been a long-time user of Corel Photo-Paint. Never a power user, just used it for touching up photos and a bit of messing around (adding captions, etc). The version of PP I have (X3) doesn't work on Windows 10 (understatement, it fairly well destroys Windows actually!), and I don't feel like paying hundreds for the latest version, so I've been looking for something else. I'm trying to get my head around Paint.NET, but am getting stuck, probably because I'm thinking in terms of the way PP works. For example, when I add something to an image (text, shape, etc), it is created as an object that can be moved, resized and edited. By contrast, if I add (say) text to an image in Paint.NET, the text is fixed on the image, almost like a bitmap. I can't select it, can't move it, can't resize it, can't change the text, etc. Anyone able to advise me? How do I add (say) text in such a way that I can move and edit it afterwards? Thanks
