[[Question] Making maps with inner borders]

If I understand your request correctly, try this:

1. Draw in the regional divisions.
2. Copy one region using the Magic Wand
3. Paste the region into a new layer with Ctrl + Shift + V
4. Color the region if desired
5. Run @Red ochre's Object Edge (link) on the new layer (gives it a nice shaded edge).
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the other regions

 

For the coastal outline, merge all layers then select the ocean with the magic wand tool. Run Selection > Inner Contour (link) to give yourself some coast enhancement in a nice sea-worthy blue. Final step is to erase the bits where the edges of the map don't need the extra blue edging (see below right map edge).

 

How do I download the Inner Contour plugin? It seems closer to what I want, but the interface is... chaotic.

[[Question] Making maps with inner borders]

Hello! I wouldn't say I'm a new user but I don't know all that much about paint.NET.

 

Here's my issue: For an ongoing project of mine I am currently making a map. I want to make subdivisions of my nation and had an idea to make the map with darker, size 2 outlines and the rest of the map in a lighter color. Now, that bordering is also meant to go around the coasts, which will make it gigantic, and therein lies the problem. Is there an easy way to do what I am explaining without spending the next 5 years of my life on this map?

Try the Circle Text plugin and type 37 stars into the text box:

Wouldn't that just make a circle of letters that literally reads "37 stars" ?

[A circle of shapes]

I've been trying to make a flag using paint.NET and my design requires a circle of 37 stars, something like the early american flags, but with more stars . I am, unsurprisingly, unable to find anything on the internet, so I have resorted to making it myself. My question is: Is there any plugin to make circles out of shapes?

Thank you in advance!
