semifamous Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I'm running the latest 3.01 I'm trying to make a CD label. I have a background .jpg. On top of that, I'm adding the company logo. Then I want to add text. If I add text before I import the logo, I can read it just fine, but the text needs to fit around the logo, so I want to have the logo there first. Once I have the logo imported, however, I cannot see any text. It all appears to be white(?) I see the cursor moving as I type, but I cannot see the text. What am I doing wrong? Why isn't this as easy as I expect it to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helio Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Are you putting the text on a new layer? Maybe you could post a pic. to help us.

barkbark00 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 When you use the "Import From File" option it puts that image on a separate layer above your background. You are probably writing your text on the background layer as opposed to the layer with your company logo on it. Try adding a new layer after you import the logo and then just write your text on that new(top) layer...

semifamous Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Here's what it looks like when I try it with a new layer. (I had that idea too.) I entered text between the cursor and the logo. I'd like to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 The problem is your selection. I can see that your logo is still selected. If you have a selection active, all changes MUST be within that selection or they will be "clipped". Press ESC to turn off your selection before adding text outside of that currently selected area.

I would have like a single pixel selected and not even know it... Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
