[Installing plugins by transferring effects folder]

Sarkut,

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

Thanks

[Installing plugins by transferring effects folder]

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

[Making glass buttons]

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.

[A little help for an older person]

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

[Making glass buttons]

Are you talking about these?

[Popping out of a picture.]

Here is my go at it. Admittedly it needs more work but I wanted to get some opinions as to how to improve on it. My main difficulty was with cutting the image. It isn't real clear as to how to do the invert selection. I tried it numerous times just the way it said in the tut but to no avail.

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

[converting an old Black and White pic to color]

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!

[converting an old Black and White pic to color]

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

[Noob Here... Did a search, can't find issue. Halp?]

Windows XP, Paint.net v3.5.5. I use the selection tool, select an area, and copy the selection and then paste. Unfortunately, it also selects the background as well when I paste. x_x;

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

[Blending Pictures]

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.

[Why cant I post on Facebook?]

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

Every time I like to manage certain spefic stuff I strungle with the amount of options which are available and therefore I wanted to ask if somebody wrote a filter, effect or plugin's which are optimized for underwater picutres.

Also, you may find answers here in the Paint.Net Search.
