    How do I create multiple lines vanishing in a spiral

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    1. Make sure your canvas is larger than the finished image, as you 'll probably want to crop the edges later on.
    2. Run this plugin [Light Rays] over a blank canvas. When installed it resides in Effects > Texture > Light Rays. You'll want to reduce the number of light rays to 20 or less.
    3. Run Effects > Distort > Twist with size and Amount/Direction setting to suit what you want. NB this is a built in effect - not a plugin.
    4. Crop the image to remove the ends of the rays where they begin to 'flatten out' (red box is a guide)

    Easier to use compared to Dr Scott's Markup Renderer plugin.

     

    It's in the Advanced menu for this reason ;)

     

    Overlapping text is reasonably easy to achieve by specifying a negative letter-spacing in the CSS. In the example below I've included an outline, but it doesn't extend to the individual characters, rather it outlines the whole word.

    Feature Request - Export Image to PNG instead of Save As PNG

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    Hi @Bua & welcome to the forum :)

    But I hate when I have to resize/flatten and save in PNG format.

    There are two reasons:

    - it's too many steps, which need to be done forward and backward,

    - Sometimes, I accidentally save to PDN after resizing/flattening layers! And there is no turning back!

     

    Easy solution. Try chaining these keyboard combos together:

     

    Ctrl + Shift + C (Copy Merged)

    Ctrl + Alt + V (Paste into new image)

    (optional) Ctrl + R (resize)

    Ctrl + S (Save, defaults to PNG as the new image is a single layer)

     

    With this ^ you won't accidentally overwrite your PDN file, and you don't have to use undo or flatten ;)

    Font displaying differently?

    Agreed, this plugin is pretty hacky :mrgreen: I wrote it for tasks other than rendering text (actually tables and XML).

    is there a way to render it with different colors,

     

    Yes. Try pasting this into the code window...... 

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset='utf-8'>
<title>Title</title>
<style>
p { 
font-family: Jupiter Pro; 
font-size 2.5em; 
color:red
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p>Zombie ipsum reversus ab viral inferno, nam rick grimes malum cerebro. </p>
<p>De carne lumbering animata corpora quaeritis. </p>
<p>De apocalypsi gorger omero undead survivor dictum mauris.</p>

</body>
</html>

     

    ^^ change the size under font-size. Change the color to any of these: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.php

    and with a transparent background?

     

    Sorry no - the browser will have an opaque background. Shift-click with the magic Wand is your friend here!

    Hi Corey, welcome to the forum.

     

    To transfer all of your previous effects, copy the contents of the /Effects/ folder from the old computer to the new computer. The most common location for this folder under the Classic version (downloaded from the Paint.NET website) is:

     

    C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects

     

    If you have installed PDN from the MS Store, look here for the folder:

     

    C:\Users\<user>\Documents\paint.net App Files\Effects
