Ego Eram Reputo

Try this over the built-in forum search: http://www.getpaint.net/search.html Search term "installing fonts" :wink:

....not forgetting that the Function keys F5 through F8 toggle the visibility of the windows on and off. Specifically: F5 Tools F6 History F7 Layers F8 Color For more on the Windows menu: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/WindowMenu.html Oh and PhenomeMama, you might want to change the title of your original post. It's not very descriptive of your inquiry and breaks rule #6 (thread titles must be descriptive) viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3446. hint: click the EDIT button in your original post.

I'm a little late with this suggestion :oops: , but have a look at the camera lens distortion correction plugin: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21624

Probably the easiest option is the clone stamp tool. This tool takes a little piece of the image nearby and "stamps" it over the piece you don't want. The theory is that the fence would be covered by bits of the nearby background (shrubbery or whatever). There are limits of course. The larger the area you're covering, the more obvious it will be. Hopefully your fence is a wire-link and not a brick one To find out more: http://www.getpaint.net/search.html and the search term should be "clone stamp"

You're welcome! Don't forget that Paint.Net can access any TrueType font you have installed on your system. You can find loads more fonts at sites like http://www.dafont.com if you're looking for that "special touch" to add to your logo.

@ soul41: I really like the colored abstract more than the "electric" sig you presently have. I've been unable to do a decent abstract so will take a look at the tutorial you mentioned. I guess your present sig is a tad too symmetrical for my liking. @ Kemaru: I can't say I was wow'd with your sig initially. Until I realized it is a "double" image. It's a disk and a stylized dog/fierce-thing-with-teeth. Now that's different, and that's not a bad thing either. I like it more and more!

1. Create a new layer with this icon in the layers window: :AddNewLayer: 2. Make sure this layer is on top of all the others with the layer up/down arrows in the same window. 3. Click on the text tool icon (in the toolbar) 4. Click on your image where you want the text to appear and begin typing. 5. Alter the font, size & other settings by changing the font name, size, etc..., in the text tool bar (should be just under Image & Layers menus). oh and..., 6. Alter your post title so it reflects more accurately your inquiry - and do it quickly before someone sees!

Try deleting any color surrounding the text so that the text is surrounded by transparency. The glow effect is rather subtle, more like an aura or halo. Try applying it more than once to boost the effect. To view the effect, insert a contrasting colored layer immediately below the text before applying glow.

Did the built in glow not work? Glow: viewtopic.php?p=4700#p4700

I just may be a bit slow this morning (it happens) but I'm not getting the idea here. Are we talking about the shadow in the main window? I just don't get what anderpainter means with "puts around all images". I've never had a problem with how PDN presents images, and certainly not had a problem identifying borders.

Aha - Sobel filters? Brilliant! Downloading in 3....2....1

So does this plugin allow for image transformations of this nature: http://www.graficaobscura.com/matrix/index.html ?

How about this technique: viewtopic.php?p=242249#p242249 :?:

They did. Finding or not finding the right solution may have been a product of the tool used and not the search term itself. @rj2: the forum search tool is inferior to the custom google one that you will find here: http://www.getpaint.net/search.html

April edition of PC User magazine has a copy of PDN on the cover disc, and a lightweight how-to tutorial. Unfortunately it doesn't mention this in the edition summary: http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/dir/LatestEdition

Thats the canvas resize. This link has more on it: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/ImageMenu.html This will achieve (in a slightly different way) the idea I first explained. However, you will need to "Save as..," to keep the original file untouched as "Save" would overwrite the original. Scriptlab: As a plugin (an add on to expand PDN capabilities), Scriptlab needs to be downloaded and then *.dll placed in the Paint.NET/Effects folder. Reopen Paint.NET and it should appear in the Effects>Advanced menu.

Hi KeyLogic, Sounds like you might need to have a look at the AlphaSpace plugin. http://www.getpaint.net/search.html is where you will find the forum search tool and the term you want to search is "alphaspace"

As David says, PDN can't save your file as a *.PDF file, however you can use a third party program like doPDF to turn your print output into a *.PDF file.

Salu did a nice brick wall in the Stone 101 textures thread: here

Check out Scriptlab Especially the bit where Pyrochild says: I don't quite see the improvement in using a plugin, because you're still going to have to position the "crop window" each time aren't you? Won't this defeat the batch processing idea?

The subject of organizing the plugins has been raised before: viewtopic.php?p=247443#p247443 I favour some sort of organization with the number of plugins exploding onto the forum. In the thread above I suggested a post with the plugins listed alphabetically, but the counter argument was "who will maintain it?". If enough users/mods think this would be a good idea I would be willing to maintain such a list.

Hi Yob, I'm glad you're interested in writing plugins, and am happy to help, but I can't shake the feeling that you might be missing a fairly easy technique for performing this crop operation. Here's how I would do the crop: 1. Open your scanned image 2. Select all the image with the keyboard combo CTRL + A 3. Copy the image to the clipboard with the keyboard combo CTRL + C 4. Now create a new image, and type in the correct dimensions (1109 x 1200 pixels) 5. Hit the keyboard combo CTRL + V 6. A dialog box will open asking if you want to expand the canvas or not, select the keep original size option 7. The scanned image will be pasted onto the new 1109 x 1200 image with the move automatically selected 8. Move the image around with the left mouse button until you have it positioned correctly 9. Save this image This might be easier than writing a plugin :wink:

Is your image is box shaped? If so, try duplicating the layer, select the lower layer and then erase all the background leaving only the shape you want to have a shadow of. Apply the plugin to this layer. Hope this helps. If I've got the wrong end of the stick, post us a copy of the image so we can see what you're trying to achieve.

If a *.jpg is really critical (as Simon said, *.GIF wouldn't do the photo justice), then why not paint the corners of the image the same color as the website background?

Also of interest might be this little tip from CMD: viewtopic.php?p=162352#p162352. Actually that whole thread might be worth a read through as the original question was how to enhance the eyes in a given image. You might pick up some very useful tips. Welcome to the forum.
