PleaseHelpMe Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I am trying to make a thumbnail for a video I am working on. I am running into this problem when I make a text box and type something inside it and then unselect the text box I can't figure out how to select the text box again. Any help is greatly appreciated.

BoltBait Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Once you finalize text, it becomes part of the image and can't be edited again as text. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 No. Once you finalize, the text is merely different colored pixels. You can put it on a separate layer so it can be more easily manipulated, but it can only be altered as pixels, not as text. Paint.Net is a raster-image editor, not a text editor.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 ^ This is why we recommend putting text on its own layer. If you need to edit it you can erase the layer and retype the text.
