jacksongirl Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I am trying to make a postcard for Christmas invitations. I guess I am just not getting your program. Can't I put the text in then go back and change the format of it? It seems I can't highlight the text to select it or move it around. I am very frustrated, sorry if I am not making sense. thank you, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlychad Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Paint.net is a raster program. It rasterizes the text as soon as you change tools or go to another layer(which means you cannot change it). I suggest if you want to change your text make sure you put it on a different layer from the background image. You can always delete the text layer, but if you save the image with the text on the background you cannot remove the text that easily. Also always save a copy of your files as .pdn Quote "Clearly it's a very serious and literal meaning.

jacksongirl Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 that is just not fun at all! I guess I could try that plugin...is it super easy to install?

Axle Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 all you do is unzip the .zip file and then cut the file and go into My Computer>System(C:Drive)>Program Files>Paint.NET>Effects and paste it there then when you open Paint.NET you will be able to use it so yes, it is very easy to do and it will not screw up your pc Quote My Deviant Art | My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
