Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hello PAINT12, welcome to the forum. The reason that text cannot be edited is that it is converted to pixels once the text is committed to the layer. This means a character or string of words ceases to be font based characters and becomes instead groupings of pixels. For this reason we recommend you place your text on it's own layer, which is empty of everything else (i.e. transparent). If the text is more than a few words I usually cut & paste it from a word processor to the Text tool There is one alternative, this plugin which allows text to be edited: Editable Text 1 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...

I'm sorryDo not you think that the excessive number of clicks to crop in the paint.net? (Eg program Hornil StylePix)I like both of these features, you have paint.netI want to know is there a way that I do not know?I'd say it's goodI've prepared two short video of the two programspaint.netAndHornil StylePixI get to see and compare theHopefully these simple questions is not strange to youI'm not even an amateur but am interested in the program paint.net (One other thing I like that it is possible that the ProgramWhen I use the Clone Stamp ToolI have a choiceI choose to be around the same as the image fades (fog) or notBecause now I can not erase aroundI better understand my videosIt may be added in future versions of this facility?) I would love the Paint.NET to get better To download videos, please click change the text and layers: 1-1 paint.net 1-2 Hornil StylePix.vmw ================================ ================================Clone Stamp Tool (Comparison of three :Paint.NET- Hornil StylePix- PhotoScape ) paint.net2.rar Thanks for your attention and help Edited December 9, 2012 by PAINT12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Text is not editable once you have committed it to the layer (finished typing). Only one layer is active at any one time. This is the layer that is highlighted in the Layers Window. Clicking on another layer deselects the current layer and makes the clicked layer active. To crop an image make a selection around the area you wish to keep then press Ctrl + Shift + X (hold down Ctrl + Shift, press X). This is the shortcut for the "Crop to Selection" function.
