William, you should use BoltBait's Feather plugin after you make your cutout. It will smooth those edges nicely.
-
Wow, barkbar00! That's great!
-
Heh, I've been using computers so long (almost twenty-five years!) that Red, Green, and Blue have always been the primary colors to me!
I liked B1lancer's take on the logo. Very nice, and no criticism here.
usedHONDA's Paint.Mono, though--even if it was allowed in the contest I think the Mono logo is very blurry and it is spread out a bit from the words Paint.Mono.
-
Check the tutorials thread. I don't have any specific suggestions but I'm sure that making pictures similar to your example is possible.
-
Korteck: Those are great! Nicely done.
-
Jerkfight, this looks really nice! Your second pic in each post is kinda weird, though. And I don't see a difference between the two first pics in the two different posts.
GreenNova, that's nice too!
-
Korteck: That's an awesome pic!
I haven't downloaded this one yet...
-
You could do it with Imagemagick I believe...
-
It should be under the file menu. You can now open and save as .ico and .cur format.Ya I did that. But when I open up paint.net and try looking for it then I don't know where it is located. Could you let me know? TY
Star*Note: I don't see it as anything separate; just when I go to File-->Save As.. then I get the option to save as *.ico in the dialog box.
Also, like one of the first posts says, make sure it is under the FileTypes folder and not the Effects folder in your Paint.NET directory.

Sorry, barkbark00! I guess reading is fundamental
! -
Sometimes simple is cool!
I think after a certain point we should have a poll...
I've certainly enjoyed looking at all of these unofficial designs.
-
Or more directly, to his signature.Picc84, I looked up "Irony" in the dictionary... it had a link to your post. -
BoltBait--That's awesome!

Which version are you using? This can be turned off.When I open a program to work with it, I do not want to be told that if I want to use it I have to go on line RIGHT NOW and download a newer version. I had no idea it was going to do that. If this happens again I will just say to hell with it. I can't rely on things that will suddenly stop functioning with no warning. How about cutting that BS? Sure, I want to know that there is a new one, but it is damnably arrogant and rude to force users to update.In Paint.Net 3.0 beta (which it sounds like you should not be running) go under the Help menu-->Check for updates-->Options and turn off Automatically check for newer versions of Paint.NET.
Under 2.72, go to the File Menu-->Updates and uncheck "Automatically check periodically". Also uncheck "Check for Beta releases".
That should solve that problem.
I don't have a solution for this, but I don't really have a problem with it either. Maybe someone else can help.One other aggravating thing - the history delete confirmation. It is a royal pain. There should be a way to limit the history as well, so it doesn't have to be policed constantly. Other programs have more user configurable options.
Few things worth downloading from the internet anymore are worth downloading without broadband. Other than buying a commercial tool, I don't see a good solution for this problem either. .NET is required for a lot of things anymore, in the Windows world.I was very interested in P.N, but could not try it until very recently when I was given a newer computer. It took a lot of effort just to get the program. I had to use someone else's DSL to download the blasted dotnetcrud. DL-ing P.N on dialup can be like rolling a rock uphill too. Then I get slapped in the face. -
usedHONDA, that is cool!

I read your first post and I believed that I had a solution. Instead of merging down the top layer onto the shadow layer, why not merge the shadow layer down to the background?
I tested it and it worked:
I didn't have the same images as you did so I had to make do. Note: I feathered both the shadow and the inset image before flattening them and I set the shadow to 192 transparency instead of 128 because of the darkness of the pictures.
Edit: I didn't try different blending modes...

Now I'm jealous! I was happy to have a 19 or 20 inch LCD at work. 30 inch?!? Gaah!So at 144dpi I'm staring at 384x384 thumbnails and wondering if that 30" Dell monitor isn't as superfluous as I thought...But I don't do graphic work, so I guess my monitor is good enough. I do have to look at PDF electronic schematics though. It helps.

Paint.NET will recognize any fonts in your font folder. So you can download fonts just like for any other tool (such as Microsoft Word) and install them in your font folder and Paint.NET will find them.
-
Wow. That's pretty cool. How did you do it?Just something quick I made:
-
I wasn't sure what you meant, so I tried it myself.
Using Paint.NET 3.0 beta 2 and the built-in clouds function.
I set the primary color to transparent and the secondary color to white. It worked just fine for me. I got white clouds against a transparent background. Edit: I guess that may seem a little backwards, but I figured it out with a little bit of experimentation.End edit.
It also works for me using the plugin.
Maybe you should post a picture after all?
-
If you say so, korteck. I just don't see it.
I can see it in the grayscale picture, though. Just not the color picture.
My theory still stands... if the color picture is using all 256 entries in the palette for the first frame yet has to use one or more entries for the new color in the second frame then that is the cause of your distortion.
-
I don't see any changes in the color version...
Maybe in the grayscale version, the there are 256 shades of gray that make up the picture in the first frame. In the second frame the program has to use one or more palette entries for the red color, thereby reducing the number of grays available.
If those palette entries were blank and unused in the first frame then you wouldn't notice the flicker. If both frames used the same palette, the flicker would go away.
That's my theory, anyway.

Avatars and such things usually have a size limit, so making the file as small as possible while retaining image quality is important. Many pictures don't require the full 24-bit color space.
So for me, mainly, it is a bandwidth issue. I have broadband myself, but not everyone does.

I agree, it's great jake2k!That Nutty JR signature is epic.And Madjik's picture right above is awesome too. I think I need to try drawing some more :wink: !
