Hello, I need some help moving over to GIMP. I recently switched over to Linux (Arch) and on my little netbook and the program that I've been missing the most, is Paint.net. I use this computer for portable web development and I have no clue on how to use GIMP. I wish I could get wine to work (it freezes constantly) and install Paint.net through that, but since it keeps on freezing, it just isn't an option. Any excellent switching guides would be helpful. Thanks! =D

So, anyways, I'm trying to make a gradient from 0% alpha to 100% alpha and allow my self to choose the size of the gradient and the distance from the edge of the photo/selection. In it's current state, I can get it to go from 195 alpha to 255, which isn't what I want . Thank you for all your help! #region UICode int Amount1=60; //[0,255]Length int Amount2=50; //[0,255]Distance from Edge #endregion void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect) { // Delete any of these lines you don't need Rectangle selection = this.EnvironmentParameters.GetSelection(src.Bounds).GetBoundsInt(); //long CenterX = (long)(((selection.Right - selection.Left) / 2)+selection.Left); long temp = 0; long LeftX = (long)(selection.Left + Amount1); long LeftMath, RightMath; long RightX = (long)(((selection.Right - selection.Left))+selection.Left - Amount1); //long CenterY = (long)(((selection.Bottom - selection.Top) / 2)+selection.Top); ColorBgra PrimaryColor = (ColorBgra)EnvironmentParameters.PrimaryColor; ColorBgra CurrentPixel; for(int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++) { for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++) { CurrentPixel = src[x,y]; // TODO: Add pixel processing code here if ((x <= LeftX)) { temp = x; LeftMath = temp / LeftX; // Access RGBA values this way, for example: CurrentPixel.R = (byte)CurrentPixel.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)CurrentPixel.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)CurrentPixel.B; //temp = temp-LeftX-LeftMath; //temp=x; temp=LeftX-temp-LeftMath; if(temp>255)temp=255;else if(temp<0)temp=100; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)(-temp); } else if ((x >= RightX)) { RightMath = x / RightX; // Access RGBA values this way, for example: CurrentPixel.R = (byte)CurrentPixel.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)CurrentPixel.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)CurrentPixel.B; temp = x-RightX+RightMath; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)(temp*255); } dst[x,y] = CurrentPixel; } } }

Anyone know how to make the fractals? I just want a fractal example to help me to get started. (only for personal use plugins though)
