Comments saying “you don’t” are weak shit. The answer is you rotate each letter one by one.
It will look like shit because they will be ever so slightly misaligned, but such is the fate of the brave
Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 months ago
There are ways to deal with the kerning and angles. Mostly be drawing lines you later get rid.
sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
- Take a picture of the original text with your phone at an angle.
- Email the crooked image to yourself.
- Copy the rotated text from the crooked image into the destination image.
Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
That’s way harder than what I do, but I’m lucky enough to have access to a flat bed scanner. I just print it out, and then scan it at every angle. That way when I email the scanned photos to myself I have all the angles at once.

You can’t scan things that aren’t lieing flat on scanner.

Install GIMP or Krita instead
Krudler@lemmy.world 5 months ago
GiMP needs to die. It is a misbegotten heap of well-intentioned, functional, held-together-with-love-and-bubble-gum half effort
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If you don’t like it, buy a photoshop subscription instead, it’s a heap of big corporate greed, money drain intended, functional, held together with ai features and licensing scams full effort.

GIMP is great. I love to use it.
It’s not perfect, but it’s served me well over the past ten years.sean@lemmy.wtf 5 months ago
fork it and make it better or pay someone else to or accept the downvotes for irrationality
SeekPie@lemm.ee 5 months ago
It doesn’t need to die, it needs to be improved.
It’s like saying this app is kind of ugly. Let’s kill all the progress it has made and start over.
ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 5 months ago
Nope, I’m really used to GIMPs workflow and would actually prefer if they didn’t change it. I don’t want to learn a whole new program for no benefit. If you really care go use Krita.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Each letter gets it’s own text box. You rotate them once by one. You’ll need to measure distance from inner perimeter of the circle and manage the exact angle to center. So a protractor, string, or drawn line can help. (Draw the line before putting the center picture in.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Or, alternatively, use a professional paint program. Which does not necessarily have to be commercial.

This is much too high quality to be called a shitpost.

Rotate my farts.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I know someone who charges for that
Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Instead of using MS Paint, maybe you should use Inkscape for such projects. It can easily align text along lines, but the best thing is that it is vector based, so the images easily scale. Very useful for logos.
Abnorc@lemm.ee 5 months ago
That’s all well and good until you need more jpeg.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You can always export an Inkscape image as a bitmap in whatever resolution you’ll probably need.
I once did an export with a width of >10000px (85cm ~=33.5in @ 300dpi). Yes, the file size sucked. But it looked good.
AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Or Gimp
Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Or GIMP, yes, but for that kind of logo, Inkscape is definitely the better choice.
It always depends on the project.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Gimp is free, but God is the interface terrible.
Lots of free software is great. I love my QGIS and I escape, but Gimp just can’t replace photoshop for me.
stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You don’t, Microsoft realized back then that this is the coolest it could ever looked and thusly removed that ability permanently.

I actually kind of like this way better
JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 months ago
There’s a way to rotate things in MS Paint that involves using the “skew” feature lol. So maybe do that to each letter.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Rotate the layer. I hear they upgraded MS paint to have layers now. So it stands to reason you would create the text on its own later and then screw/rotate that layer on its own?
JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 months ago
Idk, that skew trick was like Windows 7 days lol. I haven’t used the cool layered one!
mvirts@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Veeery carefully

“Woh odd, I rotate text in ms paint”
Good job!
NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The new MS photos app actually has an AI-powered tool that can do precisely this. Was shocked at how well it worked for this exact use case.
SeekPie@lemm.ee 5 months ago
You need AI to help you rotate text?
NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Sorry for using the solution that was right in front of me, free, and took ten seconds.
Should have watched a YouTube tutorial, paid for photoshop and done it myself the good old fashioned way.

Does gimp not have a circle?
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I dunno, but it does have the worst UI this side of the 60s.
(the new version is supposed to finally fix this but… [x] doubt)
takeda@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Whenever I use gimp, and have to draw square, circle, text or a similar shape I swear I need to search the net for the answer.
You can do everything, but it is very counter intuitive to a noob. I don’t need to use gimp/Photoshop so I regularly forget it and need to look it up every time. I’m sure that for somebody who uses it regularly it is intuitive.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
The last time I used gimp…it does but in like a really weird way. It’s not intuitive.
Iirc you take the circle selection tool and then make a path. Which you then assign a brush width and then a color.
mvirts@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ya just gotta stroke the path
