You can personalize your work of art by adding a signature to your pencil drawing, create a postcard by placing greeting text to the image.

Switch to the Text tab to add an inscription to your drawing.

    Text tab

Type the text into the field (max 250 characters). By default the parameters of the tab are disabled; for the inscription to appear on the image, you should enable the check-box Use Text.

There are three groups of parameters:

  • Font
    • The drop-down list Family contains a set of system fonts that can be used when typing the text.
    • The Size parameter (10-100) sets the size of the characters.
    • The Stretch parameter (50%-200%) allows tightening or stretching the text by changing the character interval.
    • The buttons  I  and  B  apply the italic and bold fonts accordingly.
  • Color

    • The current color is shown on the color plate Text. To change the color, click on the plate and select a new color from the Select Color dialog.
    • The outer color of the characters is shown on the Outline color plate. To change the color, click on the plate and select a new color from the Select Color dialog. To delete a color and clear the color plate, right-click on it.
    • The Glow (0-10) parameter sets the glow strength, that is the width and the brightness of the outline. БзЮ
