I've been enjoying paint.net for quite some time (at least two years now I think), but I've never really needed to draw in it before. Or rather, I've never needed to draw anything that also required transparency/brushes, so I usually just used MS Paint or didn't notice when I used paint.net.
Well, today, I was messing around in MS Paint and was messing with the different brush tools. I made something I liked, but realized I couldn't do anything in Paint with it as there was no transparency. Realizing my error, I went to copy my work into paint.net for further editing, but I found there was no real way to use it as Paint's background was too far merged with the brush strokes that weren't as strong. Figuring I would just redraw it, I went to paint.net's Paintbrush, only to find that all of its options for the Paintbrush are, well... there's not actually a single brush in the lot?
I was shocked, to say the least, that MS Paint of all things would have something on paint.net. Is there any program or add on out there I could use to recreate the effect in paint.net so I can continue my project, or am I stuck?
Is there any way to imitate MS Paint's Oil Brush Brush with paint.net's Paintbrush?
