[clone stamp]

1. is there a way to hold the position of the clone stamp in one spot as I clone the areas of my image the clone stamp moves around.

2. is it possible to change the brush style when using clone stamp? I want to use more of a paint brush instead of a cirlcle

Maybe there is a good tutorial I have missed, but I didnot see one when I searched the tutorila section

thanks

Dan

Hello , I am very happy with the Paint.net program . I have a question regarding text manipulation. Does Paint.net have any effects like font stretching or font twisting effects?

How did they select that whole area to be cloned, when I use the cloning tool I am able to just clone by the size of the dot, it looks like they used some sort of outlining tool to select a area to be loned

You can duplicate one area from an image into another area of the same image, check under help tab from within Paint.net it has a pretty good explantation of how to use this feature.

hope this helps

[smoothing image edges]

Question, I am having difficulty removing background from image, i am using combination of Magic wand and eraser to remove unwanted backgroundsand make transparent, however I am noticing that the edges of my remaining image are jagged and not very smooth. I used the Guasian blur and feathering tool tool smoth out the edges but I find the image looses the edge detail and does not look defined, is their another method of smoothing out edges, perhaps a plugin or an alternate method of removing background that does not produce uneven edges?

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Dan

[making backgrounds transparent]

Question, I am trying to make a background transparent, I know how to strip the background out using the Magic wand and eraser tool, however my saved jpg image shows up in Dreamweaver and most image viewers as having a white background, even though in Paint.net it shows as transparent background.

Am I not saving the file correctly, my understanding of transparent background is that the background should not have any color visable at all and the color of the page should show through.Here is the image, when this is opened in a image viewer or opened in any HTML page it has a white background, the effect I would like is the image to have no background at all

Thanks

Dan

[smoothing edges]

I have noticed when using the Magic Wand Tool to erase backgrounds that the resulting picture has jagged edges. Is there anyway to smooth the edging of the finished picture so that it does not look choppy?

Thanks
