Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hi there Ben! Welcome to the forum. 1. Type your text on its own layer. 2. Press Ctrl + A (Select All - i.e. the whole layer) 3. Press M (Move tool ) 4. Right click + hold button down, move the mouse. You've just learned how to rotate a layer Dpy has also made a series of plugins that allow text to be rendered in different shapes & rotations. You can find them here: Dpy's Plugins. p.s. you might find the Paint.NET online documentation helpful - press F1 in Paint.NET to access these documents.

StarDesignLady Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 How can I get text to follow a curve? Like on the edge of a button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowman Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) @ StarDesignLady, Try "Circle Text" plugin from this pack, as EER suggested. http://forums.getpai...ack-2012-03-22/ http://forums.getpai...47-circle-text/ If you mean something else, then please give us more details.
