easycash Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 First - Hello to all of you. It's my first visit here. I found paint.net over a search for editing photoshop images, psd files. What I wanted to do is editing an image in psd, mainly the text in it. Can be a header or a banner or a ebook cover. So can I upload a psd into paint.net and then edit the text in it ? I understood that this has something to do with layers. Sorry to sound like a idiot, but I am when it comes to designer stuff like this one. I heard that GIMP can do this, just looks like a very complicated interface to me. Thank you all for the answers. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 You can, using the Photoshop File Type Plugin. Paint.NET doesn't support text layers, though, so it'll all be rasterized upon opening. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Or will it simply dissapear what would not be a problem as then I could insert my own text. I already downloaded the plugins but have some difficulties to understand how to upload them. I'm some "plug+play" techy and have no clue what the "installation instructions" explain. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Just stick this plugin .DLL into the FileTypes folder in the main Paint.NET folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
