Ego Eram Reputo

Pleased we could help you cravincolors. Welcome to the forum!

Probably a spam bot Jim. I've just removed the spammy sig.

Very cool Thanks!

Deleting files has left some of the Paint.NET installation behind. As you have found, simply deleting files is a poor way of removing an application. That's why the uninstaller is supplied. From here you need to completely remove all traces of the previous installation before reinstalling. Return to the thread here http://forums.getpai...uble-read-this/ and reread post #2. Once you have removed all traces of the previous installation download and install a fresh copy of Paint.NET.

Could be any part of the hardware. Doesn't sound like a Paint.NET issue even though it is the PDN files that are corrupted.

Yes I like that better. Have you considered fading the light 'beam' intensity as the beam extends into the room? I.e foreground beam has edges as sharp at the bottom as the top. Shouldn't it be more diffuse at the bottom? BTW: Nice house!

This is ridiculous. @Visual - you're being overly sensitive. Welshy made a comment and offered an opinion. If you can't handle critique don't post a tutorial (see the Tutorial Posting Guidelines, item #11 ) <locked & moved out of the tutorial section>

I think you have a hardware issue. Something is happening to the data - checked your HD?

Not as far as I've found. I've made this recommendation in the past (http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/24740-problem-with-loading-custom-effects-to-paintnet-on-windows-7/#entry372860) No one has complained

Hi there skanitsch, welcome to the forum. Please don't reply to very old threads (this one has been dormant for over a year). If you wish to raise the subject again - please just start another thread. Thanks <closed>

Is this tutorial going to resurface or do I lock it?

Hi Matt, welcome! Personally, I usually reach for the AlphaSpace plugin.

If I was any more laid back I'd slip into a coma...

From the Popular Feature Requests....

I'm just amusing myself....

No need to shout (please don't type all in capitals). You need to alter the Tolerance in the Tool Bar once the Magic Wand is active.

@NN: You live closer to the sun that the rest of us? (I think that given the already bright room, the rays are just a mite too powerful).

Add multiple selections together by making multiple smaller selections with the Magic Wand tool and simultaneously holding down the Ctrl key (toggles the selection mode to Additive). This is the easiest way to build up a composite selection. When the selection is complete, then fill it in.

It's not going to be locked for necroposting - it's within tolerance. However my tolerance for the tone of Gaelyn's last post is almost at it's limit. Re your suggestion: Too large? Really?? I regularly put a font's name, size and formatting into a layer name. It's my way of recording how I made the text within the layer. I need/desire/like the extra width of the current layers props dialog.

Does this work for you? 1. Make a selection roughly the correct size you need. 2. Activate the Move Selection tool 3. Right click and drag to rotate it. Left click & hold on one of the control nubs to resize the selection outline.

You can attach PDF files directly to your posts.

Those light rays do look good. Great job Visual! I'd much favor you placing the text into the tutorial as text (not as part of the image). This makes copying the text much easier (for discussion and also people wishing to work offline). Just a thought.

Website backgrounds are often 1px wide and tiled to repeat across the page width. Thus a beckham-slim image can be used to save a lot of bandwidth! This technique is particularly good with vertical gradients.

I think you're in the wrong place. This is a forum for the image editor Paint.NET.

Try the Gradient Bars plugin: 1. Open a new image and fill the canvas with black. 2. Create a new layer :AddNewLayer: and in white, type your text out. 3. Create a third layer and run the Gradient Bars plugin on this third layer. 4. Select the text layer in the Layers window. 5. Activate the magic wand and Shift + click anywhere not on the text (i.e. select everything else but the text). 6. Click on the Gradient Bars layer to activate it and press delete. 7. Save the image as a PDN. You should wind up with something like this: 8. Flatten the image. 9. Run any plugin which allows you to remove a color (black in this case) and replace it with transparency. Kill Color, Grim Color Reaper, Black and Alpha+, etc..., 10. Save in a format that preserves transparency (like PNG). 11. Import the saved image into your artwork image.
