I usually follow this method for making seemless textures: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2614 I work on the center of the canvas, then move the center of the canvas to the edges. Finally, I work on the center again. This avoids the kinds of problems you are having.

Nope. Not me. I'm in northern Cali, not Oklahoma.

You could just turn off anti-alias when you draw your original shape. Or, use the recolor tool. Or, use Backspace to fill the selection with the primary color.

Thanks, yes, I've noticed that when moving the second slider back and forth, it gets confused. I'll look into that. But, no, I won't combine both effects into one.

Woah! The orb effect on that looks AMAZING. Did you use Spehre, Lens or Bulge? Or something else all together? What I did was use the Tube Oblique to get a nicer bulge, Panelling to recenter it, then the I used Sphere to finish it off. The rest should be obvious once you download the pdn file. The built-in bulge effect is fairly useless--sphere is much better. EDIT: typos

Can you give us a screen shot, at least?

OK, here ya go... http://www.BoltBait.com/paint/orb2.pdn Enjoy. 8)

Now that you posted the source file I gave it another go... Much better this time, I think. I saved the PDN file, let me know if you want it.

My original permission extends to all of my plugins (except for those noted in my permission statement).

It looks flat. Have you tried the bulge effect? Hard to work without your layered source image... Meh. Still looks flat. Oh well. I tried. Maybe someone else will give it a go.

Plug it in and see if it takes over the world. :shock:

Be sure you are doing "Layer > Flip" and NOT doing "Image > Flip".

The key is to draw your stuff on a transparent layer, not the background layer that is filled with white.

Hehe. pwn3d.

hinaru, your sig is really annoying. Please change it. (In the mean time, I have removed it from this thread.)

Go to a site like http://www.photobucket.com create an account, upload a picture. When you do, you will see a link to the picture below its thumbnail. Click on the UBB link and paste it into a message here. The general format is: [img]http://www.example.com/picture.gif[/img]

Perhaps, if you posted your pic, someone could give you step-by-step directions.

The short answer: No.

Save your images in JPG, PNG, or GIF format. When you click File > Save As... there is a type dropdown box under the file name box. That's where you change the save type.

All you have to do after saving in JPG or PNG format (or whatever), if the image gets flattened, just hit Ctrl-Z to restore the layers. EDIT: Looks like barkbark00 beat me.

Nope. I didn't start drawing until I had kids. I tried to fix it: What I did was open the image, duplicate the image, on the top layer invert colors and change the blending mode to difference.

Doodling when I was working with my daughter on her homework... Well, the details of the pencil drawing don't really come across well when I take a photograph of the paper. Oh well. I'm sure you get the gist of it.

Plugins extend the built-in functionality of Paint.NET. Some plugins allow you to save and/or load additional graphics types. Others add additional effects to your effects menu or adjustment menu. For a full description of what each does, just look around the Plugin forum.

(Thread Opened) You might want to play with this RGB to CMYK plugin: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=4408 Tell me what you think. (Thread Closed, again)

It looks to me like there is a white glow behind the star.
