Are you sure you've got the newest PdN version? (2.63 or 2.64 should work fine, i think)
-
No! It does not work that way! Try it out yourself! It's because of this 'S' shape.As promised, here is the problematic picture:
Now how would you get a red 'S' inside this one with leaving an equally wide blue border remaining from the old 'S' "behind"?
Two words: Shrink & Stretch

I don't think the glow effect is suitable here. Afaik it works better for lighter colors than for darker ones, so the glow wouldn't be even.Copy the layer and Glow just only one.The deepest.
-
If you've got the guy on a seperate layer (otherwise, achieve that first), make a new layer below the guy but on top of the background. Then select the guy layer, use magic wand on the area around the guy, invert the selection and switch to the new made (glow) layer. Then use the fill tool with the color you want the glow to be on the still selected area. Now use gaussian blur; the higher the radius of the blur, the higher the radius of the glow
Move to General Discussion, btw.

lol? Are you making that plugin or just telling how the icon has to look?http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/7910/gifanimationinpdn1un.pngThat is what the plugin for pdn gif animation should look like... The circle is un-antialiased because the text was and i forgot to turn it back on.
-
This poll is weird :?
Yes, I think an anti-aliasing tool would be helpful, if something like that is possible at all... But no, I won't do a plugin for that one (since I don't know how this tool should work) ...
-
Don' just guess
Anti-Aliasing is the smoothing of lines, which would normally have "stairs", because they are not going in horizontal or vertical direction.
I think this picture from the german wikipedia explains it quite well:
(may take some seconds to load in america :wink:)
(left one without antialiasing, right one with)Alpha Blending is an option of Paint .NET which, if activated allows half (or at least not completely) transparent drawing over the picture without removing the existing colors, just modifying the alpha value.
Bah, I can't explain that one very well :wink:
-
Then explain it more precisely or post an image or something :wink:That isn't exactly what I ment...Maybe you mean, there is some sort of "dirt" on areas, that should be "clean"... in this case you could either delete the "dirt" by hand or use some sort of blur (effects -> blur) to make the picture's color more even.
-
Use Paint (MS or .NET, doesn't matter) to open the jpeg and save it as GIF. That an animated GIF only supports pictures in the GIF format for single frames should be clear...
-
PDN already supports GIF, just not this animation stuff.
How about using MS GIF Animator for that?
-
You might be looking for the "fill style":
And IMG tags definetly do work; make sure you really close it after the URL and that there are no spaces between the tags and the URL!
-
Either use "Undo" (or "Undo all") or "Ctrl+N, N, {Enter}"
-
Wow :shock:
After granting that prog internet access there are no more lags at all :o
Of course it'd be nicer if it wouldn't have to verify those assemblies every time :wink:
-
Hm... I tried it with magic wand myself, but you really get problems with the edges, no matter what tolerance you use or how high you set the saturation before using the mw...
The problem is, the edges are not really sharp and the background is not really white and also has a shadow on it. Even if you'd try drawing the selection pixel by pixel by hand you'd have difficulties to decide on quite a lot of the pixels.
And I doubt Photoshop tools could do it better... (I think the image itself is the problem)
-
lol, there is no baby. I just took a biiig brush drew some grass, a tree, some clouds, a road, a city and a bird. And then I messed around with itwow...weird, but i like it!, but i dont see the baby....hahatoo bad i didn't keep the original

I have the same problem: from second the process is launched it takes full 14-16 seconds until actually something happens...
(I'm posting this here, since it's the only place some solutions already have been suggested)
I'm using the currently newest version (2.63) and I don't know any older ones to compare it with. System specs surely are sufficent (ram too, 1280 MB).
During this starting delay neither my hard disk is working nor is the processor used at all. As soon as these 15 seconds are over the program is launched within a fraction of a second.
This .NET Framework first launch delay (which surely existed in ver 1.1, not sure if in 2.0) doesn't seem to matter much at all, since starting it the second time (no matter if an old instance of the program is still running) takes just as long... :?
And to top the problem off: a lag from appropriate exactly the same time occurs during using the program once per instance. There are only two events i figured out so far which trigger this: undo an action (only sometimes:?) and launching an open or a save file dialog (every time!)
After this lag has once occured (beside the one when launching) this instance of the program works properly and fast. During these second lags there is also no disk or processor activity.
I hope you can fix this somewhen...
oh... btw, i'm using winxp home sp2, .net framework 1.1 sdk was installed earlier than the ver 2.0 (only runtime) (maybe this matters) and i've got msvs 2003 installed...
-
Hm... was very bored so I played around a bit. First I made a baby like picture using the brush and then defaced it by applying various effects...
-
o_O that first car even has a german license plate. I didn't know german car brands are really that famous, and since I am living here in Germany...

PNG doesn't support layers
:wink: -
As promised, here is the problematic picture:
Now how would you get a red 'S' inside this one with leaving an equally wide blue border remaining from the old 'S' "behind"?

Thanks to aatwo and Bob for your tutorials; next time I'll try it using that new layer + gaussian blur method.
(the picture wasn't that big, so I managed to make my selection pixel by pixel all around the border of the object
)@dairyman: I tried that one first, but it didn't work out.
I wanted to do the following: I was given an image of a blue letter 'S' with background and stuff. Now I wanted to hollow that 'S' out as to fill it with another color but leaving the border with the original color.
And so this problem emerged...
A soon as I get home (I'm at school right now :?) I'll post the image here.
Of course an automated function would be much more comfortable
-
Hm... this is not what I meant. Maybe I didn't explain good enough, I'll give it another try:
I don't want to resize the picture or modify it in any way. I just have got a curved selection (e.g. made with the magic wand thingy) and I want to change the selected area (not the picture, just the selection mask), change it in this way, that it shrinks but keeps shape.
If you've got Gimp you can see what i mean by making a curved selection there and using "shrink" from the "select" menu. You'll also have to specify there how many pixels the border of the selection should go back.
This is just the tool I'm missing :wink:
-
I've got a short question: Is it possible to take away a certain number of pixel from the border of a selection (not streching the selection, but equally taking away a pixel from the border all around)? If, how? If not, when will it be?
Apart from this function I missed when using this tool for some first little works I really think it's great! Carry on the good work :wink:
edit: i found how that function is called in gimp: "select" menu -> "shrink"
("grow" is analogue)
Can't use the effects plugins from this site :-(

Ehm... which ones are the problematic effects anyway?
