insert colored rectangle with text - jphyde - 02-16-2018
I need to insert a rectangle with text in an image. I have created the rectangle, but when I paste it into the image it loses its color and becomes transparent. The text shows, but it is not black like it is in the image I have created. It is made up of little squares instead.
I would also like to have lines of a different color than the background of the rectangle on the top and bottom as borders. It's for a header image on a web site I am building.
Thank you!
Jim

Are you pasting in/on a GIF image? Try Image>Mode>RGB in the target image before pasting.
