groyall Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I am a new user. I have a PNG book cover that needs to be resized and fit into a template (also PNG.) How do I remove unwanted material from template and insert my cover image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The guides and text should be on their own layer. Hide each layer by unchecking the checkbox beside it in the Layers Window. 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...
HyReZ Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) @groyall In order to make your image fit the format of a template, you may have to do more than resize. You may have to also crop your image. If you resize and not maintain the aspect ratio, your image will be pulled or compressed in a way that will distort the image. Since your template is a PNG and does not provide layers for text and guidelines: I assume that it is provided as a form factor for your project and is not ment to have 'materials' moved, but as a reference for dimensions and constructing your own project. EER's advice is good information for you in constructing your new project! Edited July 7, 2019 by HyReZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
