whanner Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I just started using paint.net today...WOW what a program. How can I soften the outside edges of a layer so when I put it on another layer it doesn't look so fake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenchick Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I am trying to do a B/W with color. The directions that I have found are confusing to me. Here's what I found. New layer, then duplicate layer. On 2nd layer run B/W, on the same layer rub out in places where you want the color. Ok, then that's where the instruction stopped. I have been trying this all day & cannot get it to work. What am I leaving out? Is the majic wand what tool I should be using?Sorry to look so dumb, but this is making no sense to me at all. Please give advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) gardenchick, Open your image in Paint.NET, make a duplicate layer, then turn the top layer black-and-white. Use the eraser tool on the top B&W layer to let the colored layer below show through. ================================ Here's another way to get the same type of result : Edited April 7, 2010 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
