Circle/Spiral like gradient?
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Water Chicken's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Water Chicken wants the gradient to extend 270 degrees. How do we get that option with conical gradient? -
Circle/Spiral like gradient?
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Water Chicken's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Using yellowman's answer, I found that you get quite a good result if you create your B&W gradient with the black on the left hand side. Then run the effect using an angle of -180 Crop the image to a circle based on the central point. Finally, you'll see that the finish point of the dark side of the gradient is not quite 270 degrees from the white start point. You can fine tune that using Adjustments > Brightness / Contrast -
FR: copy flattened
Ego Eram Reputo replied to spongman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Removed your poll - please read Rule #21. How about this: 1. Make your selection. 2. CTRL + SHIFT + F = flatten. 3. CTRL + C = copy. 4. CTRL + Z to undo the flatten. 5. CTRL + V to paste the selection anywhere you please. -

Deleting a portion of a picture
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Question's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
As a tip - always place your text on it's own layer. If you had done this, editing or replacing the text would be a snap and you wouldn't have to worry about replacing the background. Of course for this to work you need to save the file in a format that preserves the layers (like the native *.pdn). Once you save the source file it can be saved in a new format of your choice (use File > Save As to save it as a *.png, *.jpg, etc...,). -

I'm not misunderstanding you. The first priority of saving is to preserve the data. If you're working on a multi layered image and 'export' by some one-click method it to JPG then close Paint.NET - you've lost the layer structure haven't you? (Not to mention the loss of quality due to the lossy compression of JPG) Think of this as being like working in MS Word and only saving the document to a PDF before you exit.
-
The default settings enforce the preservation of data in your image (PDN = layers preserved). You have to manually change the file type and 'OK' the resulting dialog to agree to the potential for data loss (i.e. losing the layer structure if saving as a PNG, or quality loss with a JPG). I can't see this changing, so CTRL+Z is really the best solution.

Scaling a existing image in ratio
Ego Eram Reputo replied to ladymb's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
You could resize the logo prior to importing with Image > Resize. Make sure that the checkbox "Maintain Aspect Ratio" is checked. Remember to use File > Save As... to save the reduced size image (you don't want your original to be permanently affected). More > http://www.getpaint..../ImageMenu.html -

You'll need to download & install the alpha mask plugin: Alpha Mask Import (1.2) 1. Open the first image and add a white background to a new layer underneath the initial layer. Flatten. 2. Invert the colors (CTRL+Shift+I). This should give you a white magnifying glass on a black background. 3. Save file as a PNG - to use as your alpha mask. 4. Open second image. 5. Go to Effects > Object and select Alpha Mask. 6. Browse to your saved mask file. 7. Click OK. Howzat?

Looking for Advice on Logo
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Steve4000's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
RE: Fonts. I'm guessing you're looking for a clean and crisp font, perhaps slightly futuristic, to go with the logo? My current favorites in this vein are downloadable from dafont.com. Have a look at "Neuropol" and "Classic Robot" in the Sci-Fi themes. -
Brilliant! Thank you MadJik

Smashwords style guide ( http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52 ) mentions paint.net at least three times as suitable to create ebook covers. Also found in the same vein: http://lounge.laurakennedylive.com/blog/tool-box/covers/ -

My feature suggestion list
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Mihkel's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
English may not be Ahmed's first language - so let's cut him a little slack on the use of the word 'stupid'. That said I'm inclined to disagree with Ahmed and agree with Mihkel on those particular ideas. Mouse reordering of layers & check box selecting the layer seem like good ideas to me. Right now toggling the active layer to hidden makes the next visible layer the active one. So I support the idea that this should also work in reverse.
