EE Reputo - Yes, it was flattened.
Rick Brewster: No, I'm not implying that Paint.NET is doing anything wrong...I suspect it is me. I saved the texted image to the Desktop and it opens correctly, ie, with the text in place. But when dragged from the Desktop and dropped into the Data file of the program, to replace the original (now deleted) INTRO of the program, the image is fine but the text is missing. And the *.tga image with text is the only similar one on the Desktop - I made sure to delete all other possibly conflicting or similar files.
I went to Paint/Open Recent and clicked on the text-containing image - and it opened properly. Now, there are maybe 8 images there from my repeated Saves and attempts to get the one I wanted to open in the proper place. But the correct one is there and it is the one I have dragged into the Data section of the program in which it should appear.
Dunno. Strange
I have wondered if one wants to place text onto an existing, imported image if it must be done as a new Layer...Layers are not something I have even started to attempt..
Tried to attach the image file here but it was too large.
Appreciate the attention.
