cstin123 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 if I create a text layer, is there a way to go back and make changes to it? so far in using paint.net, when I want to make a change, I end up deleting the first layer and recreating it because I can't figure out a way to change it. Also, if I go back to a text layer, it doesn't tell me what font was used? So then I have to go back through all my fonts and try to find that same one to recreate it. is there a way around all this?

toe_head2001 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 No, Paint.NET doesn't have this feature, but you can try using the Editable Text plugin.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Once you have committed text to a layer it ceases to be characters and becomes groups of pixels. This means it is not editable - unless you use the plugin toe_head pointed you to. RE: font names. The last used font, font size and formatting should persist over a Paint.NET session. It's a good habit to get into to place these bits of information in the layer name (press F4). <moved to Paint.NET Discussion & Questions> Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
