Image Umbrella: Signatures, Avatars, Logos & Text
TinSoldier replied to david.atwell's topic in The Pictorium
I like the subdued colors on his right hand better, but I miss the vibrance of the other colors. Still very nice! I had been thinking of doing a Jack Skellington but now I have a different idea. I'll just have to see if I can pull it off... -
Image Umbrella: Signatures, Avatars, Logos & Text
TinSoldier replied to david.atwell's topic in The Pictorium
I like the second one, with color. It's electric! It's vibrant! It's radiant! -
Looks very spooky/Halloweenish. Ghostly even.

That reminds me of a phoenix, kinda.

Saving a transparent gif
TinSoldier replied to kahunabear's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
PNG format supports partial transparency. Unfortunately older versions of Internet Explorer do not display PNG transparency correctly. If that's not a big issue, then I would definitely go with PNG. -

Madjik, that last one is nice. It would make a good entry in the Unofficial Logo Contest. -

I concur! Wow! -
Where do you get this from? Well companies like Microsoft do that type of thing (Vista RC1 and stuff). True, but the source code to Vista is not readily available.Plus from what I understand this is Rick's project, not Microsoft's. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. Paint.NET is an awesome tool.

Nope, I still get a broken link.

It's not coming through for me at all. I don't see an avatar for jerkfight. I see a placeholder as it tries to load and then it blanks out.

Where do you get this from?Anyway, I don't remember for sure how I found Paint.NET. I think I was looking at GimpShop, and I've always been a little intimidated and/or frustrated by The Gimp and other open-source paint tools. I think I heard a rumor that there was a replacement for MS-Paint that was developed as part of this guy's college project. And that's how I found it. (Yes, I know that it is not going to be an official replacement for MS-Paint and that it was developed as part of Rick's college career.)

Unofficial Paint.NET 3.0 Logo Contest (Ended)
TinSoldier replied to barkbark00's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Oooh. That's sweet, Hellfire010! Maybe a little better antialiasing of the text, but otherwise it's pretty sweet! I could even see using that as a sig on other boards... -
Hi, David. If you read the help file, it should tell you how to make filled shapes. The help file can answer basic questions probably better than the forum can. But to do my best to answer your question, yes, you can set the thickness of a shape's border by setting the brush width and you can select whether your shape is filled, outlined, or one solid color. The colors of the shape fill and border are determined by the primary and secondary colors you have selected.

I hate to say "works for me", but... it does. Sorry.I'll let you know if either of my home machines are different. -

Unsuccessful copy of Paint.NET
TinSoldier replied to DubART's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Please don't close the source code because of one jerkwad! -
Another resize question
TinSoldier replied to tannerfish's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
What pixel size, format, and file size is the original picture? You may have to use a combination of resizing the pixel size and playing with the jpg compression. I can't imagine a file with a quality of 1 though still being 100k. -

Simple Question about editing your graphic
TinSoldier replied to dana's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Hmm. That shouldn't have happened...You didn't save it as a GIF first (which flattens it) and then save it as a PDN? BTW, that banner looks great! -
What resolution were the pictures after scanning them in? What resolution are you going for? For me in terms of graphics displayed on a screen 4x6 and 8x12 have no meaning. What I look for is the pixel resolution. On Paint.NET 3.0 Beta (probably similar on 2.72) go to Image -> Resize and change the pixel size. Oh, looking at the dialog I can see that there are inches on there as well. For screen output it should probably be around 96 pixels per inch. When you change one setting, others might change as well. In the end, you will want your pixel size to be anywhere from a few hundred pixels to probably 1024x768 max unless you are making a much bigger picture. Does that help? Sorry if I'm rambling a bit.

TinSoldier replied to dana's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Save both. Keep the PDN for making edits and send the GIF to the person.Too late for this one, apparently, but good to know for the future, eh? -
Antialisng and Alpha Blending
TinSoldier replied to oma's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Oma, I realize that English is not your first language. However, I will do my best. Aliasing, with regards to graphics, is the blocky look you get along a line when you change from one color to another. Anti-aliasing adds some pixels that are in between the two colors that help smooth out the line and make it look less blocky. Antialiasing: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antialiasing Alpha blending: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Blending I hope that that helps. Any other questions, feel free to ask. The new Paint.NET docs may help you as well, even though they are in English. -

[Request][Solved] Saving JPEGs with interlacing?
TinSoldier replied to Eagle's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Interlacing image files is not the same as interlacing video images. With image files it is mostly used as Eagle said. Instead of the image file appearing on a webpage from top to bottom it shows up kind of spread out and the viewer can get an idea of the whole picture before it is completely downloaded.
