Mr Frojo Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Im not really sure what you mean. Do you want to move text? Just use the rectangle selection tool, then the move selected pixels tool right next to it. Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkly Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 You just have to make sure that your text is in a seperate layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengnlely Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 I like that but I want to "drag" the text only not use the rectangle selection tool. I have to click text and then type "one" letter down because I do not want it in the same line and then click somewhere else to write "one" letter again.

sengnlely Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 You just have to make sure that your text is in a seperate layer. But it's not in a seperate layer. I don't like a lot of layers when I only type one text down. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm...lots of layers = a good thing. Honestly, the more layers, the better... And if you don't put it in another layer, you can't treat it as a seperate element. Always use a layer for every element of the image, so you can add different effects or move different parts seperately. Layers are your friend. :-) Does this help?

You might consider using a different tool for laying out text like that, and then once you have things where you want them, using Paint.NET for whatever photo manipulation you want to do. I'd recommend Inkscape for the type of thing you seem to be talking about. It can export finished drawings (or portions of them) to .png, which is a native format for Paint.NET.
