Paint - Transparent Text

[Sam]

This is one of the most easiest things to do in paint. It's also not as 'cool' as the title. ^^;;

First, find any image on the face of the internet...It doesn't really matter since this is practice.



Now click on the 'A' tool (Text tool).


Then choose the second option that pops up in the box below the tool box.


It's kinda amazing how not many people know this. But it's ok if you don't. Just keep practicing!

Examples-



That's it. Easy huh?

PS. Don't feel bad if you didn't know this. I wish someone wrote this tutorial a loooong time ago when I had to figure it out for myself. (Sad I know)

Now if only MS would give paint an upgrade to handle transparent GIFs and PNGs with alpha channels.
