yarharalc Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I will make the background of this green for this example: https://i.gyazo.com/91b19d0f34dcf6c1b26ab277c4f9ebdf.png I want the text to be "green," but I wish to change it in the future. Just using the magic wand and deleting that part removes that anti-aliasing, which I NEED. How does do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So close to perfect. I need both bold font and more... normal(?) text spacing. I'll fiddle around tomorrow and see if I can make this plugin work for me, but coming from 1AM zombie-me, this is a no-go. Thanks, bud.

Rick Brewster Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If you want to type text that erases, use a transparent color and use the Overwrite blending mode in the toolbar. 2 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not by my computer right now, but I'll be sure to try this. Definitely looks like a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
