sharks Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Hello, I am new user of Paint.NET and i have to say that it looks very impressive for free software. My background is very limited to using Paint on my Windows 7 machine and i never used any other paint-type programs, so please bear with me. I am trying to create an avatar with text on top. It's just a basic avatar of size 184x184 pixels with a uniform color background and text on top. But i can't find an easy way for the text to be limited to within a defined area, since the text keeps going outside of the avatar space. Also, what are the recommended steps to creating such an avatar from scratch? Should i create a new layer before typing in the text? Thanks in advance.

Eli Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Hello shark, and welcome to the forums. You are right, you need to add a new layer for your text. It is a small area to write. If you use the text tool you can press enter to go to next line. You can also use the text window effect made by toe_head2001: I hope this helps.
