damobolton Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Apologies i'm a newbie to all this. I'm trying to insert text into a pixel box of 300 x 600. I insert the picture no problem but along side the picture i want to insert text. It appears that the text is typing but it is not visible. Then it appears???? Don't know what i pressed but it appears....how do i default it to just black and so it shows when i type. Also, when saved how do i amend. Many thanks and apologies for the simple questions.

Rubrica Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 To answer the questions in reverse: If you saved the image, then closed Paint.NET, then you can't amend. However, if you haven't closed PDN, just press Ctrl+Z to undo any changes, etc. Also, you most likely had a selection that you were typing outside of, and then pressed Ctrl+D, which deselects it. Of course, I may have misunderstood your problem; I have a feeling that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarat Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 PDN is an abbreviation for Paint.Net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) Doing these steps will resolve 99% of Text tool not working situations: In the Layers window, click on the top layer, to make it the active working layer. Next, add a new layer. Press the Esc key on your keyboard. Activate the Text tool, and type. . Edited February 28, 2011 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
