UXB Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hello, New guy here. I'm trying to create a watermark and when I chose an invisible background I can't see the text no matter what colour I use and when I save it to use it, it shows up as a black box. I was successful before the latest update but now I cant seem to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi UXB - welcome to the forum If you are using transparency you need to save you image in a format which supports it. Choose PNG not JPG and you should be fine. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UXB Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hello and thank you It saves as a PNG file and ends up a black box. I can't even see it when I'm creating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UXB Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Am I driving you crazy yet? I had created a PNG file that I used to import to Paintshop Pro and used the batch process to watermark multiple photos. I created the watermark by opening a new window in Paint.net and made a transparency with the text, I could see it on the background as I typed and when I used it in paint shop it worked fine. I tried to resize the first PNG but then thought I'd create a new one and for some reason it won't create the same way it did. I tred the link you sent and it worked great for a single photo but not for a batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hello UXB, I have posted this image for you to try. It is a png file and it has a transparent background. Does it work when you use it with the other program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UXB Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Worked like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Then you need something like this? This is what I did: 1. Selected the entire canvas and deleted the white background 2. Typed the text and added some shapes 3. Saved it as a png file using this settings : Make sure you are saving it as a 32- bit image and not 24 or 8.
