  1. ok, i know this might sound dumb that i cant figure this out, but say I want to get an image to fade into nothingness (so alpha 255 to alpha 0) at the end of the image, how would I do that?

    so I have an 800x150 banner for a website, and I want the last 50px on each side to fade into the background using a gradient.

    I tried just making a white gradient and screwing w/ the layer blending, but nothing worked.

    Dont bother posting images or anything. I just want a quick fix. Thanks.

  2. ok, basically, as a rule of thumb, remember this.

    when you only want to use one program (like PDN and never leave the program), you can just use ctrlC and ctrlV.

    when you move images between programs (IE and PDN or something) you should use the little menus. (just for security)

    that all you need to know.

    oh, copy = take all selected pixels and put them in window's clipboard

    paste = take everything in the clipboard and put it where you told it to go.

    cut = same as copy but it removes selection from w/e you were working on

    The clipboard is a small little cache that windows uses to keep files for convenience to the user. these files (usually a small strand of text or an image) can be called upon at any time you need them by pasting. copying or cutting clears the clipboard of the last file and puts the new one in.

  3. actually, i looked into it, and it turns out that it's a brush, not a plugin, and since brushed aren't supported in PDN, it cant be done correctly (it can easily be done by hand)

    the way it's done (and i mis-understood this before I posted) is by taking a stock photo of spots of paint or something, and covering the area of the photo you want, then tweaking the layers until it looks grungy in that area. This can easily be done by hand, but it takes a little more time than if you had a brush.... (only hinting that maybe some type of support should be added)

    and Boltbait, if you have nothing better to do, the plugin for your tut would be nice, but not needed...
