Ah, never mind, fixed it. Bitmap Font Writer to the rescue!

Not sure if it's what you mean, but you can use the right mouse button to rotate selections... And if you don't mind me saying, you're a posting maniac. o_0

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to avoid doing. I've already spent most of my evening just getting the letters arranged, and I'd hate to have to completely redo it.

So I have this image with a font in it that I copypasted from Nintendo DS system screenshots (It's the font from Pictochat). The letters are arranged in ASCII order with one pixel space between them. I'm trying to use them for something, but I need to increase the number of pixels between each letter. Is there any way other than moving every single letter individually to put an extra pixel between each letter without distorting the letters?

Go nuts with the Lasso tool. I'll experiment and see if I can get something else.

This should be posted in the tutorial topic itself, not GD. And go easy on the capslock.

Move the mouse around until it changes into a black arrow. Then you can click and drag. It doesn't have to be inside the selection.

I got this by repeating the cloud layer several times. And obviously a little hue/saturation.

I don't think he made a thread. I found the link somewhere on the forums, but I can't remember where it was.

You must know something I don't, because when I do that it messes the picture up.

Ed Harvey made that, if I recall. He also made Effects > Distort > Dents.

I REALLY want to know how to do that.

0_o **** that's beautiful. *Experiments*

Some people can find bliss in in three colors and transparent. (Almost no work whatsoever FTW)

If you really need alternate skins, patch your uxtheme.dll and download frenzy on themexp.org. If you absolutely need a Vista theme, go to lunaelement.net. I WOULD like to know if Vista's .msstyles file will work on XP, though... be freaking awesome if it did. On-topic, w00tfulicious. Can't wait to see what this new thing is (guess that goes without saying rofl).

A layer blend mode that behaves like the alpha mask plugin. An image could be pasted into the layer, and act as an alpha mask for the layer below it. This could offer greater conveinence than the alpha mask plugin because the mask and the "masked" image could be edited at any time, and it wouldn't require that the mask itself be a seperate image.

You mean a font? Select the text tool, find the drop-down box that says "Times New Roman", and scroll the list until you find it.

Sorry, but saving as .ico REQUIRES all those features. A .ico is a lot more than an image.

I think the topic title pretty much says it all. An effect to limit the image's colors to the colors in the currently loaded palette could make the palettes themselves much more useful.

I'm a spriter, that should tell you something. I also do logos and graphics for some of the stupid random IF forums I go to, and for some other things like school projects.

In most programs, when you open a file, if you change the way the list is displayed (thumbnail, list, etc.), the program remembers it and displays the same way the next time you open a file. But Paint.NET always reverts to thumbnail view, so I have to change back to list view every time I open an image or else have to deal with only six items in the window at any given time, which makes it hard to find a specific image in my humongous folders. It would be conveinent for me and probably a lot of other people if Paint.NET remembered the folder view setting.

But, if you think about it, that's EXACTLY what its doing. If you Gaussian blur a pixel that is sitting next to a totally transparent pixel, it becomes slightly transparent. Then, if you blur that transparent pixel, it takes on some of the color of the previous pixel and becomes slightly less transparent. Isn't that exactly what you describe? That would be what I'm describing, if the feathered object were a solid color and nothing more. I made this with the gradient tool, rect to polar, and alpha mask. This is a true feather. On the faded edges, not a single pixel has had an RGB value changed, only the alpha transparency. This is what the feather tool in Fireworks does, and I'm pretty sure that applies to other image editing programs.

Mmm... this isn't exactly what I'd call a feather. Feathering isn't blurring the edges, it's fading the edges to transparent, which is actually doable with the new gradient tool, to an extent. Not saying this isn't useful, but calling it a feather isn't very accurate.

I prefer Microsoft GIF Animator, but whatever.

lol oxymoron
