So, do it! Almost exactly what you said: 1) Open a new photograph. It shows up in the "background" layer. 2) Create a new layer, call it "text" 3) Select the "text" layer and fill it completely with black 4) Select white for your primary color 5) Add your text to the "text" layer 6) Change the blending mode of the "text" layer to "Multiply" 7) Image > Flatten 8) Magic wand the black area and press the Delete key

Try the Image > Resize menu Then, save as JPG and adjust the quality % so that your desired file size can be achieved.

Show us some examples of what you want and we'll see what we can do...

Maybe we don't understand what you were asking. Perhaps if you could show us an example...

Gradient for Shine, I have understood, but I understand " Cow Bell or cowbell" maybe other than you it means! It is a joke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowbell (Trivia section, Cowbell Sketch)

Nope, sorry. I'm using GDI+ and that's all the options I have available to me. However, if you want, you can send your feedback to Microsoft and maybe they'll fix GDI+... but I wouldn't hold your breath.

I'll send ya a bill.

Step 4, make sure you are using the magic wand and make sure you have the layer selected that has the blue dots on it. Flood fill = Select purple as your primary color and press the backspace key.

Oh! I would call that a "Business Card". I've never heard it called a "Visit Card". You might want to use a different tool to create business cards. Lots of online printing sites have software that you can use to design your card, then order them right online. For example, here's one place: http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/fbc/freeprembcfoil.aspx

Needs more cow bell... and diamond gradient.

Here: I made the dots purple so you could see them. What I did was this: 1) Open both graphics on different layers of the same canvas. 2) Set the top layer transparency to about 30% so I could see both drawings at the same time 3) Resize (Select, Click and drag holding the shift key) the smaller map so that the lines matched up with the larger map. 4) Shift click on a "blue dot" to select all blue dots on that layer 5) Flood fill them to purple 6) Ctrl-C to copy the blue, now purple, dots 7) Switch layers and Ctrl-V to paste them onto that layer. 8) Delete the blue dots layer 9) Save as PNG, upload, post, etc.

Kokopelli!

Why would you screw up the best thing about Paint.NET? :shock:

In Paint.NET, paste your large image into its own image (Ctrl-Alt-V). Resize your image there. Finally, copy it to your original 3 layer image.

Oh, its not about you.

Use 2 layers, one with the full effect, the other with minimal effect... transparent fade between the two layers.

Well, I'm glad you like it. But, I'm sure someone else can do a better job of it than me. I only spent, like, 2 minutes on it. I'm supposed to be doing my taxes. I should have done it like this: Grid Paint Bucket (x each square) Buldge Sphere Clouds in the background Drop Shadow Diamond Gradient (x3)

Here is a really FAST (read 'sloppy') one: Grid Buldge Sphere Diamond Gradient (x3) Paint Bucket (x each square) Drop Shadow Clouds in the background

First this: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2302 then, this: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewt ... ght=#17224 Finally, some more stuff... :?:

that's what I said, silly! Oh, really? Hmm... I guess I should stop ignoring all of your posts.

Not using Paint.NET. However, here are some alternatives: In explorer, right-click Preview an image in one window, open the other in Paint.NET. Arrange the windows side-by-side. Or, if all you REALLY want to do is compare images, open each on a different layer, change the top layer's blending mode to XOR. Where the images are the same it will show black, where they differ it will show color. Hope this helps.

If it was done this way, you could add the layer blending modes to brushes for interesting effects. 8)

When Rick sees it AND agrees. Not before.

Well... DUH!!! Stop trolling.

a. Palette has 256 color not 96. b. In the near future I will add support for 8 bit palettized images. ShayEr, that may be true, but a Paint.NET palette file only contains room for 96 colors.
