Ego Eram Reputo

Thank you AGJM. I've added your image to the tutorial. Please let me know if you wish me to change that.

These are bezels right? Have a look here: I've always been impressed with how the surround of these Interface Orbs look just like a bezel.

Re: textures. Try here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/28-textures/ #2. When you drag out a shape, the status bar at the bottom of the screen shows the size of the shape. Set the units via the Tool Bar.

@Boltbait: Why are you still inisisting on rolling your own Clamp2Byte function? Rick hasn't moved the current one for ages

DPI time! 96 dpi is the resolution of your screen. This looks awful when printed at the same resolution. 150dpi is the barest minimum you should ever consider for printing. 200dpi is acceptable in most cases if you're not too fussy. 300dpi or better is reasonably decent quality. Using these resolutions: 6"x4" @ 96dpi = 576 x 384 pixels. 6"x4" @ 150dpi = 900 x 600 pixels. 6"x4" @ 200dpi = 1200 x 800 pixels. 6"x4" @ 300dpi = 1800 x 1200 pixels. 10"x8" @ 96dpi = 960 x 768 pixels. 10"x8" @ 150dpi = 1500 x 1200 pixels. 10"x8" @ 200dpi = 2000 x 1600 pixels. 10"x8" @ 300dpi = 3000 x 2400 pixels. These are gifts for someone you love right? Make them special! Use the largest size you can get away with. Your mum and our NZ countryside deserve no less.

This is not a tutorial, so does not belong in the Tutorials section of the forum. <moved> To achieve what you're after, you need to have an understanding of the image's DPI setting. The reason for this is that dimensioning an image in mm or inches is not the only factor that determines the size. Example: An image 400px x 600px is 4 inches by 6 inches when viewed at 100dpi. The same image covers just 1 inch by 1.5 inches when printed at 400dpi. If you work is only ever going to be viewed on a screen, you can reasonably assume that the DPI of the screen will be 96. If your screen is 24 inches wide, then thats 24x96=2304 pixels wide. This excellent tutorial by David.Attwell is well worth reading: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/17049-dpi-and-you-understanding-resolution-for-print-and-web/ To change the size and dpi settings of an image you need to use the Resize or Canvas Size dialogs: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/ImageMenu.html

Rick has mentioned a significant overhaul of the shapes tool(s) in his blog: https://free4internet.appspot.com/blog.getpaint.net/2011/10/21/paint-net-4-0-fine-grained-history-and-other-stuff/

Hi christieb, welcome to the forum! First issue: RAW files. These are not natively supported in Paint.NET. You have to download and install a plugin to extend the functionality of Paint.NET to include RAW files. Second issue: Not all RAW files are created equal. Many hardware manufacturers have differing ideas of how the RAW file format should be applied. Following on these issues, there are a number of plugins that add RAW file support. Some work with specific files and some don't. Have a look through the plugin Index (link in my signature) and see if you can find one to work with the output from your camera. For help installing plugins, go here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/36-how-to-install-pluginsgeneral-plugin-troubleshooting/ This is not really a troubleshooting problem, so I'll move this thread to the Paint.NET Discussion & Questions section of the forum.

I'm still convinced that it's to do with the length of the gradient vs the blur.

It seems to do just what was promised. Surely it is the job of your code to manipulate and interpret the data structure, and not a Paint.NET plugin?

I'm thinking that your gradient is stretched out more than the blur (which blurs the border between the two colors). Try the gradient again and this time don't drag the start/finish nubs so far. Keep them more central.

/filetypes/ folder. It's definitely a filetype plugin.

There are quite a a few Height map / Normalmap plugins available for Paint.NET. Have a look through these: Heightmap Normal Map Normal Tools NormalMap Normal Map plus Normal Map Renderer

Forum rules state that the maximum dimension of posted images should be 800px or less. I've replaced your posted images with links.

Hi 'figment', Welcome to the forum! I've edited your thread title to better describe your request. As Barbieq25 mentioned, descriptive thread titles make the forum searchable. So we make descriptive thread titles mandatory. Starting out: 1. Have a look at the forum rules found here 2. Press F1 in Paint.NET to be taken to the online documentation. There is a lot of excellent information there. 3. Try some of the beginner tutorials: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/20-beginner-tutorials/. They are designed as an easy entry point to Paint.NET.

Try the Shape3D plugin: found here

Another option is available if you have a dual monitor setup: Drag the four child windows to the other monitor.

Always take your photos at a reasonably high resolution. The smaller sizes just don't give you enough information to work with.

If the image you linked to is the full size, then it looks very unlikely. The problem is that there is just not enough information in the image to discern the individual characters. The best I could do was guess at some of the words by their shape. Do you have a larger image?
