How to use
- Paint Hi in white at 12 pixels on the bars.
- Paint Go in #112233 at 16 pixels on the tile.
- Expect the pixel size to stay 32 by 16 and 48 by 48.
Formula / how it works
The word Hi in white, 12 pixels, is painted on bars-32x16.png. The PNG stays 32 by 16. The word Go in #112233, 16 pixels, is painted on tile-48.png, which stays 48 by 48. The words are paint. They are not a text layer you can select later. A long line is cut at 32 characters. The size must sit between 8 and 96. The colour is a 6-digit hex value. Georgia draws the glyphs. The pixel size of the photo does not change, so a caption that does not fit is cut, not wrapped and not scaled. The source image is not overwritten.
Hi stays inside 32 by 16. Go stays inside 48 by 48. White and #112233 are the two inks. Georgia draws them. They cannot be selected later. A longer caption is cut at 32 characters rather than widening the photo. The file you opened remains the one without the caption.
Hi in white stays inside the 32 by 16 bars. Go in #112233 stays inside the 48 by 48 tile. Georgia draws both. Neither word can be selected later, because it is paint. A longer caption is cut at 32 characters instead of widening the picture. The file you opened is still the one without the caption. Match the ink colour to a part of the photo where the letters will actually show.
Hi in #ffffff at 12 pixels sits on the 32 by 16 bars, and the PNG is still 32 by 16. Go in #112233 at 16 pixels sits on the 48 by 48 tile, and that PNG is still 48 by 48. Georgia draws the letters at the top left. They are paint. A later edit cannot select them. A caption longer than 32 characters is cut. The picture is not made wider to fit the words. Choose an ink colour that shows against the photo. The file you opened is still the copy without the caption.
Hi does not resize the bars. Go does not resize the tile. The inks are white and #112233. Georgia paints them at the top left, and the paint cannot be lifted off later. If the caption does not fit in 32 characters, it is cut. The photo is not made wider. Pick a colour that contrasts with the corner where the letters sit. The original image remains the file without those letters.
Work in this order. Pick an ink that shows on the corner where the letters will sit. Hi in white on the bars stays inside 32 by 16. Go in #112233 on the tile stays inside 48 by 48. Georgia paints them at the top left. They become pixels. You cannot select them next week and retype them. A caption past 32 characters is cut, and the photo is not widened to save it. If the words must stay editable, keep them in a layout tool instead. The original image is still the file without the paint.
A blank canvas with only words is text to image.
