    Making a Jewel

    in Creations

    Posted · Edited by Limon

    Unfortunately, as of 11/23/2015, the Radial Blur Deluxe and Zoom Blur Deluxe  lead to plugins which are not compatible with PND 4.x.

     

    Yep. I think I'm gonna find every broken link or link to a non-current plugin in the Forum....

     

    Marilynx, Radial Blur Deluxe is very similar to the basic Radial Blur, as the name suggests ;) If you center the image you want to Radial Blur you'll get a similar result with the basic plugin.

     

    Also, as Barbieq25 said, those plugins are not that essential to the creation. The basic ones already installed should do the trick :)

    Thank you @Pixey! And never mind about the 20th, we all mix up stuff some times. I thought it was a fun comment anyway. The clarity I got from Lynxters thread still cracks me up  :lol:

     

    I'm glad you liked the feathers, @Red Ochre. The base model was made with the furblur plugin, so thank you for making them possible  :D

    How can I reproduce an image I made...? (How did I? And How To...?)

    To answer your questions about the gradients, Marilynx. 

     

    First: Yes, the universe IS out to get you. Duplicating the picture is not necessary, but it is an easy way to restart if an screw-up should occur :) instead of punching Ctrl-Z a bunch of times. Just make sure to uncheck one of the duplicated layers visibility, otherwise the result won't show if there are two pictures on top of each other. 

     

    Second: The transparency gradient shold be done on the same layer as your picture of the mountain lake. If done on an empty layer, there will be no result. 

     

    Third: Don't set the layer to transparent, it is supposed to be visible. It is the gradient that should be set to Transparency Mode in order to make a part of the lake (or what ever you may want) transparent. 

     

    Fourth: Here's a HowTo-pic to show you how to make a gradient with Transparency Mode on your picture.

    You could use the gradient tool set to Transparency instead of Colour to create a fade to the mountain picture on Layer 3. Select gradient as your tool, and find the Transparency/Color Mode button situated below the Undo/Redo buttons. Gradients are automatically set to Color Mode  :Colors:, so you will have to press the button in order to set your gradient to Transparency Mode  :AlphaChannelOnly:. Draw the gradient on Layer 3 where you have got the picture of the lake and mountain, this will cause the picture to fade gradually :)

     

    Good luck!

    Frustration with selection tools and layers

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Hi Marilynx and welcome to the forum! I hope I can help you with answering your questions as far as I can :)

    I paste... and then try to select part of that image, but I can't. I get whatever I pasted. Or I get everything around it.

    Try to lower the tolerance of the selection tool on the Tolerance Meter, positioned below the Effects Menu. You'll be able to select smaller parts of the image you have pasted.

     

    Why is it, that sometimes, when I select an item, and it's clearly selected, and I copy it, and then go to paste it in the other file, I get a blank selection? Little lines of selection showing, but not the actual item itself?

    Are you sure you have selected the correct layer for what you wanted to copy? That's usually my problem when copying from many layers. 

     

    I cannot find instructions for how to name layers. I cannot find a way to re-order the layers.  Layer 2, 7, 5, 6, 4, 3 ? Totally confusing. (Yes, I did find the Help, and read the section on using Layers.)

    You can either press F4 on your keyboard or double click on the layer you want to rename to open it. Then it is just to write whatever you want to name your layer in the top box on the menu you have opened by pressing F4/double clicking. 

     

    And don't worry, you'll learn this program just fine! Asking questions about tricky things are the best way in improving and becoming even better :)

     

    Hope this will be to some help.

    How can I put image onto a triangle?

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    This is the easiest way I can think of: 

    Step 1: Open the image you want to crop. 

    Step 2: Create a new layer by pressing  :AddNewLayer: at your Layers Menu. (If not visible, the menu can be accessed by pressing F7)

    Step 3: Draw a filled shape  :ShapeInterior:  on the new layer. 

    Step 4: Select the transparent area outside the shape with the magic wand tool  :MagicWandTool:. 

    Step 5: Go back to the layer with your image, and press the delete button on your keyboard. 

    Step 6: Select the layer with the drawn shape and remove the layer by pressing  :CancelButton: on your layers menu.

     

    You should after these steps end up with only one layer containing your image cropped to the shape you drew.

    Wow! Thank you everbody for your positive comments, it is a great motivation for me to get feedback on my pics! ;)

     

    @Helen: I know which one of the movies you mean, so I googled the title since I couldn't remember it either: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I can see the resemblance now that you've mentioned it, I guess the thing that's missing is "KALI MA!"  :lol:

     

    @MJW: Thanks! You got me thinking, maybe I will  :D
