I'm trying to remove the vertical line in this example. I usually take a section of the horizontal line, copy and stretch it across so that the edge shading is kept, but in this example the horizonal line is slightly curved. Any ideas ?

I'm creating some designs for print to garment and have got all confused by DPI issues. I read a great article on the subject a while ago but I seem to have forgotten where I found it or what it said
So the printer is either being very unhelpful or I'm just not getting it. They want >400dpi, but then I read somewhere that dpi from a printing POV is all about the capabilities of the physical printer? P.n says I have 95.94px/". If I change it up to 400 the image size drops, but is P.n actually altering the image or just some header that details the size 'to be printed' ? I don't need any technical details, just trying to express my confusion. I spoke to the printers about stray pixels and bleed. They said that anything smaller than 3px will not be printed, but surely that depends on the size of the print on the garment? I've had some test prints from them and all seems good, but I just can't seem to get my head around it. A couple of my source images are slightly skewd and this gives a step when using the select tool. It's tiny but annoying. Is there a way to fix this and the odd effects I get near color borders ? Am I looking at detail that no one will ever see ? How do I get an idea of what will or wont be visible in print ?
img1 is the source, img2 is an artefact from adding an effect over a mask, img3 is where things go bad. sry for long post !

I'm trying to create a headlight beam. I came up with this a few weeks ago but don't remember the steps I took. It doesn't need to be photo realistic. Any ideas ?

Cool ! Just found out that shift switches scrolling direction too !

Is there any way I can get my mouse wheel to zoom in P.n ?
Thanks

Hi. I'm using @BoltBait's Outline Plugin. I've added an outline but now I want to remove it, so I magic wand the outline an hit delete, but it's leaving a tiny line around the edges
What to do ?
-
This is something like only I wanted to also randomise the source images.
-
I've used the random shape generators where a shape is duplicated (with or without overlaps a given number of times at a specific density)
What would be the most time-economical way to do something similar but with a collection of images from file? Any ideas thanks.
-
Thanks Ergo. That did it. I didn't want to use just the rectangle tool as i needed the borders spot on, but the finishing with Magic works great. Thanks
-
@Rick Sorry. I have no idea how i posted to plug ins !
-
Can you explain please ?
-
Can someone help me how to select the entire contents of the red box on the left without having to draw around it ? I tried various settings with the magic wand but no luck. thanks
-
I have a file with multiple layers. The objects are duplicated (same size and location) throughout the layers but each layer is colored differently. I need to save out each object in each layer separately and now realise that this is going to take an age. Can anyone suggest a best plan of action or any shortcuts I could make use of ? Thanks.
-
new layer. it usually pastes into the exact place it was cut from, just on a diff. layre
-
Hello. I've been using p.n for a while now so know it quite well (famous last words), but I'm having a pasting problem.
I ctl+magicwand to select a number of areas, ctlx and paste into a new layre, but the pasted content does not appear in the correct place in the new layre (it usually does)
I'm guessing that there is a setting somewhere that I might have knocked ? Any ideas ? Thanks
-
This fixed it thanks.
-
Hello. I need to take and object, duplicate it to another layer and rotate it, so that I have a circle of objects. I hope that makes sense. Imaging drawing the pips on the dial of a clock. Is there any plugin or other way to automate this ? If not any clues as to how to do it efficiently ? Thanks.
-
Great. Many thanks.
-
Yes that's got it. I wasn't thinking outside the box/head lol. Never knew about ctl I. Can't see it ony menus.
-
@BoltBait I have your plugin pack but when I tried I got all the unselect bit also. Here's an example pic. If I magic wand it, it grabs all the detail, I just want to select the perimeter of the object. Hope that's clearer.
-
Hi.
I was wondering if theres a plugin or a method to get the outline of a magic wand selection. I'm wanting the outer edges of the selection with any internal detail or 'edge holes' removed. Hope that makes sense.
-
I can't see anything in the plug in that does that. I seem to remember that I did it in one step then coloured each band individually ? Maybe I did it in Inkscape and then brought it back into P.net ?
-
Ca anyone suggest how I made multiple outlines around an image ?
-
I've actually tried the eraser tool but my OCD gets in the way of my ability to produce randomness :) That's why I thought a layer with clouds might work so then I can re-seed the effect until it looks good.
