change inserted text not possible

Post by mgk »

When I insert a text in a foto, I am not able to change it / delete it afterwards. Is there any trick to do this ? :?:

Text inserted using XnView software becomes part of the image: layers are not supported, so the text is not placed on a separate text layer which would enable it to be edited later. If you require a freeware program that supports layers for future work, you might look at Paint.NET.

If you need to try to restore images created using XnView software, you might find this thread useful:
