Meenie50 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I'm creating an ebook cover and am ready to add the Title. I picked a new layer and clicked on the Text icon, I see the text choices on the tool bar, picked the one I want, but can't type it onto the layer. What did this newbie do wrong now? lol. I'm on a win10 computer and working with Affinity Photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It depends on the tool you picked: Frame Text (T), or Artistic Text (A). Frame Text: draw a frame where you want the text. Click in it with the mouse, and type. Artistic: click where you want the text to start, drag to set the font size, type the text.

Meenie50 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 I tried both the frame text and the artistic text and all I get is a faint outline of the letters no matter which font I choose! The layer is set to 100% opacity and Normal. I'm stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v_kyr Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Maybe you can show us a screenshot of your AP canvas and layer overview or give a an example image so we can help better.

Meenie50 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Sorry folks, it must have been my computer. I shut it down, came back later, and it worked <gah> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
