shawnalynn1228 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'm pretty new to using paint, I know some stuff but not a lot. I was just wondering how can you rotate the txt. Like to turn it and put it in corners or make it wavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji2 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 You mean like word-art from microsoft word? Sorry you can only add text with this program, but you can always edit it. Try using this search: http://www.getpaint.net/search.html and type in font or test or look in the tutorials to find it. I suggest always doign text on a layer of its own, this way you can select the entire layer and move it with the move tool ( ), right clicking+hold rotates while using this tool. Hold shift to do it in 15degree increments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance McKnight Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Actually, I think there are ways to make anything with text. It will have a lot of workarounds. I'm sure using, for example, a displacement map (i.e. the flag waving tutorial) could make the text curvy or wavy. It's a matter of thinking it through. Try looking through the various text tutorials and look for displacement mapping techniques. Tube Oblique for example may work, as will the Gravity plug-in. It is a matter of using different techniques to make the text work. Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
