  1. hey there! Its been a while since I posted and I just got a new pc again after 5 months and now I need to refresh my memory on using this software. I need a gradient fill for putting 2 colors in outlined text. I need it too look like this:

    Or maybe I dont need a gradient fill but just use hue/conditionaL saturation to make the text? the problem is the text needs to have a black outline with orange and yellow inside

  2. no theres no layers...just the 1 layer....the selection too is all goofy and has a black blue color when selecting text

    in fact now no matter what image type i save it in .....none of my images are being saved...

    i did a print screen from windows media player and saved an image but the image saved is just all black now

    seems to be windows media player....i cant print screen and save an image ...even while its paused...it was working before and it stopped working

    EDIT >>> Ok well I still have this blue box when using selection tool...its like your making a rectangle thats blue instead of using the selection tool...on a clear or transparent background the selection is light blue....but on a darker background it becomes dark blue and its not see through like it was before. I cant see the area i am selecting

    EDIT #2 >>> Now I have confirmed that the problem is in trying to save a jpeg file format when you are cutting and pasting from a print screen using windows media player...any other print screen seems fine....i can save the image in any format except for jpeg...when saving an image from a print screen capture from windows media player

  3. Please help,

    This did not happen in the last paint.net software and i am not sure whats going on

    anyways the new rectangle select tool is not clear and see through #1 like it was...its all blackish blue when i select an area and it covers it up. same for any selection tool...

    it seems to still copy and paste an image , however when i saved a jpeg file...it only saved the text and not the picture area that I had selected...

    im uploading the image here:

  4. hmm ok i tried it and it works now...did some testing and i can see that you can only save a transparent image and view it with paint.net with following formats

    anicursor

    cursor

    gif

    png

    icon

    tiff

    psd (with no windows preview)

    dds (no windows preview)

    tga (no windows preview)

    is that about right?

    im asking because im about to publish a comic book and the site it will be at has 2 formats its accepting

    .tiff for print on demand comics

    .jpg for web on demand comics

    but i guess you cant use transparent images with .jpg so would it end up looking different?
