It can be done using LogoStudio & Cutout Studio, but it's rather fiddly! You would need to type your new text into a text box, then convert it to an image. It’s quite a learning curve!
See sample.
Hope it works for you.
Select the image. In PhotoLab select Crop and Straighten Tool.
Crop the area you require…> OK
To proceed further if required, use Cutout Studio to create the Object you want.…> OK
Save to Assets or Export as Picture
Hope that works for you…
I should have shown NCH DrawPad, sorry.
Thanks for your help on this jackneve, I'm sorry for my very late reply. I was unable to get PagePlus X8 going, as you mentioned the Product Key is dedicated, so I've had to abandon ship on that.
I've tried Affinity Publisher for iPad (paid) but it's over my head.
Also I paid for NCH but don't like that. PagePlus X8 suited me nicely.
In the meantime I am using Kingsoft WPS for my weekly newsletter, I can do most of what I need on that. I can use BG Remove online which is quite handy.
Best wishes & Season's Greetings...
Just after joining this group, my Windows 10 PC crashed, and I lost my emails, program files etc. including PPX8
I saved the download at the time of purchase in 2016 onto a CD.
I have unpacked the program, but the Product Key is nowhere to be found, so I can't install it.
All I have is the Registration Key and the Product Installation Number but not any group of 5 blocks of 5 characters.
I assume it's no use contacting Serif as they have discontinued support for this excellent program.
I wonder if Cleverbridge (the payment agents) would have any record of the transaction including the Product Key, or am I wasting my time.
I have the PPX8 Starter Edition, but many of the features are blocked out.
I had thought of purchasing Affinity Publisher, but I only produce a 3-page weekly newsletter. I might have to limp along with MS Word.
Any suggestions
