FrankHelios Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hi guys, a newby to this forum. And to Paint.net... but I heard only great things about it... I'm trying to do a black stencil over a photo. To do a black layer is easy. To do transparent shapes in that layer thus creating a stencil is easy as well. But here is my challenge... Creating Letter Stencils. See-through transparent letters, so the picture is seen only through the letters... I don't seem to be able to choose Transparent Letters to write on the black canvas. Feasable? If so, how please... in baby steps instructions as I'm far from super comfortable with the software yet... Thanks Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowman Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) -Open your image, add new layer and fill it with black. -Set the black layer Blending Mode to Multiply, and type your text with white color on it.
