jancil939 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi, I'm completely new to using Paint.Net and need some advice. I have a Book Cover for an ebook that I may change. So there is some text I want to replace. Is there some way I can do this with Paint.Net. Advice and how-to will be very much appreciated!

jancil939 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 but what you have a problem, tell me. I want to change standing text on this book cover with my own text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 How you do it really depends on the current image, so if you can post the image of the cover as it is, that would help a lot. here's the method I would use if the cover looks the way I think it does: Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Lance McKnight Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I want to change standing text on this book cover with my own text. For some reason, red flag is waving in my mind, and I just have to ask this question - do you legally own this eBook you are attempting (or have attempted) to change?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I am assuming that you've had the cover made, and now you need to edit it? Try this thread: http://forums.getpai...29entry364829 Ebook covers are simplicity to make - why not try making your own from scratch? The final canvas size is recommended to be 500 pixels wide and 800 high. So you should start out twice that size in your 'working' file and resize down by 50% when you're ready to save it as the final *.png. Also bear in mind that many eReaders only support grayscale images (early Kindles et al)- so use Adjustments | Black and White (or Ctrl + Shift + G) on a copy of the flattened image to check it still looks OK.
