How about this:

DH stands for Dwarf Horde 😁

ShapeMaker Thread is a dozen years old, that's why it's been locked.

Quite so Welshy. It's still there.... REF: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/EffectsBlursMenu.html

My partner has the same pathological fear of creepy-crawlies 🕷️. A scream usually brings me running. I pick them up in my hands and gently remove them while she shudders.

@TrueblueKiwi - Gidday & welcome to the forum Remember, you need to put your text on it's own transparent layer for these shadowing plugins to work. If you put your text on a layer with other elements (like a solid background) the plugin will not be able to find the edges of the letters

I'm enjoying Diablo 3 on the 360. The cartoon sounds of combat are brilliant. And smashing random stuff never ceases to appeal! Level 15 Monk. Skeleton King took a few attempts to defeat. The Butcher took just two.

Ed Harvey's Halftone works better than TR's regarding the surrounding transparency. Other plugins to consider: Alpha to dots does quite a nice job.

I find it useful now that I've become familiar with it. It is quirky because of it's similarity to this shortcut: Shift current tool 10 pixels Hold Ctrl + Arrow keys ↑ ← ↓ → (may not work with all tools) The trick is to use the arrow key first, then use Ctrl + arrow key combination to move by 10px (yes, I get it wrong often)

How about this?

Thought experiment: 1. Draw your solid line on it's own transparent layer. 2. Duplicate the layer (next two steps use this new layer) 3. Apply Motion blur in a direction which approximates the width of the dotted band. 4. Apply Halftone to make the motion blurred gradient into dots.

Hi splitframe - welcome to the forum That's correct. Using the Ctrl key allows you to move a copy of the selection. REF: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/MoveTools.html#12 Just use the arrow keys without the Ctrl key

DONUTS! 😄

Some of the plugins in this pack are obsolete and will not work with the latest version of paint.net. Check the first post in this thread for the red warnings.

@last_dovahkiin GREAT username! 👍 I'd create a new layer to use as a country mask. In the new layer, fill each country with a different solid color. You will only need to do this once. The new layer will make selecting one country easy with the magic wand. Hide the layer by turning off the visibility when you don't need it.
