0rac1e Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I want to replace some of the text on an old map, as it is becoming illegible. However, I am having difficulty in angling the words. I am using layering, but when I rotate the layer the text moves away from the original typing point. Is it possible to rotate the words in situ? I can carry out the operation using Roxio, but the results are nowhere near as good. The characters are ragged. I am new to Paint.net, by the way, but I love it.

Crimson Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Certainly. Use the Rectangle Select Tool and select around the text you want to rotate. Change to the Move Selected Pixels tool (press "M") and Right-click/drag one of the corners. The selection should rotate from the center.

0rac1e Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Welll, the first time I used the method it was a success, but now I seem to be removing a piece of the background along with the text. What can I be doing wrong? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Write you text on a new layer, then rotate it. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
