Hi,

 

Could someone tell me how you fade text into an image in paint?

 

thanks.

Hello purpleronnie (great username!),

You could put your text :TextTool:on a new layer above the background image. :AddNewLayer:
Then use the gradient tool :GradientTool:set to Transparency mode.(select the gradient tool - then look in the top tool bar to change the mode - small arrow next colorwheel icon, :Colors: into :AlphaChannelOnly:I think!).
There are many more variations on this basic idea, (changing the text layer's blend mode to multiply for instance) but it is difficult to advise without an example image of what you want to create.

 

The documentation for Pdn4 is not available yet however it is much the same as for Pdn 3.5.11 - just press the F1 key when Pdn is open and it should take you there.

Thanks, I tried that and it kind of worked but it faded the text more in some areas than in other areas, I want the whole text to fade the in a uniformed way.

 

Like this.

F4 = Layer Properties and decreases the opacity of text layer.

Yes - 'a picture speaks a thousand words'.
Do as xod suggests - no need for a transparent gradient to do that.

Thanks xod and red ochre.
