How do i change the color of different cahracters in a text logo?

[braddalton]

i simply want to type the name of the website and change the first 2 letters to another color without having to do it in 2 separate words

I think you would have to do this on two individual layers, and then position the second layers text in alignment with the first layer, there is no means of changing the colour of individual letters on the same layer (unless I'm proved wrong)

Easily done in a word doc. Not sure why it can't be done in paint.net

2 layers won't be as accurate as one

Paint bucket tool?

Paint bucket tool?

Plus magic wand to select the letters?

EDIT: just realized how tedious that was... here's a better way

Type your text in one color (on its own layer) and select what needs a color change using the rectangle selection.

Use hue/saturation adjustment or the curves adjustment to change the color.

Never entered my head to do it that way pdnnoob, but now I know. Good tip to have, thanks

Type out the text in a single color then recolor the characters you want with the Recolor tool
