Hoping to select a picture or an area of a picture and make it somewhat see through. Not totally just semi transparent to varying degrees. Thanks in advance

Sarkut, Thanks, that worked and I transferred the effects to my other computers and bada boom bada bing. Thanks

Wondering if I can take my effects folder (over 200 items). and copy the contents to another computer effects folder. This is so I do not have to find and download again to get that computer as up to date as possible. Thanks

If it is only around the border the Bevel Selection will do it, change the bevel color to white and monkey around with the depth slider. EDIT: This is bevel selection all the way around the edge of a red square.

Pickard, Glad to see you got it working. Keep plugging away at it and soon the dragged kicking and screaming will convert to a hunger to know more. Welcome to Paint.Net

Are you talking about these?

I like it... looks like they are reentering from another dimension or a black hole, I would add an outer space background on the outside and maybe a swirly black hole inside.

Nice thanks

hardyboyz619, Thanks I am going to try that whilst using Sarkut's advice Ego Eram Reputo, I am attempting the Pyrochild color match plugin. At first try it totally globbed the pic with color. I will continue to try it to see if I can gain control of the colorization. I have a photo from last year and another from forty years ago...same beach Sarkut, Thanks again for the help!

Wondering if it is a possibility to colorize an old black and white photo. Read somewhere that could separate each area and put on layers then adjust each layer. Thanks

I would like to see this image, that may lead to the answer.

Hey Lilrichie097. Welcome to the PDN forum. It depends on the two pics and what you are trying to accomplish, but ... Choose the two pics for simplicity pretend they are 800w x 600h you will need to create a new canvas (depending on your overlap) say about 1400w x 600h (gives you a 100 each overlap blend area) Take the black picture and put it on a layer position it on the left side of the layer. Take the orange picture and put it on a layer on the right side of the layer. be sure to overlap the pictures enough.. next duplicate one of those layers position the layers so that it forms a sandwich. like if you have two black layers there should be an orange in the middle go ahead and save it now select your eraser tool set the brush width of the eraser big enough that you can easily use it. on your colors pallete click the more tab. On the bottom right of the colors pallete set the transparency to about 10 or 13 Get ready to blend... *before you begin be sure to save *before you begin Be sure you are working on the top layer again make sure you are on and stay on the top layer start in the middle working the eraser vertically Keep rubbing and working up and down your way out in both directions. It will blend them in. Stay within your 100 overlap area. You may need to set the transparency really low to finish it off smoothly. To complete the job save it again then choose save as and select the file type of jpeg or png and it will be ready to use. edit:

I believe it is the file name. I attempted to post it to my FB and no go. So I renamed it and it went right on. May be a way FB screens/filters posts

Sounds like RaefWolfe wants the tutorial, I would make it but am less qualified than most. edit:

Absolutely

I am sure he will recover soon. Really thoughtful of him to get the message to us.

Like to see the beta version. EDIT: Really like the gorilla!

johnathanamber, Could you elaborate on the corrupt file, I am having layer issues also.

Love it! Considering I knew nothing and followed your tutorial and instantly made something....! EDIT: added pic
