Put the images a bit overlapping (on different layers) then use a transparent gradient to fade the edge on the both images.

This tutorial should help a lot: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2756 And welcome to the forums by the way!

I think I stay with the english default... edit: the translation is great so no offence, but it'll make me majorly confused.

Yeah, I hope one of the experienced plugin makers will see this.

Read number 6 and 3 in the rules then change the topic name before this is locked.

Reminds me of inpaint, and that program is really helpful sometimes.

When you have the text tool enabled you can change it from a menu just above the canvas.

That's wierd... If I whould've saved the image before I resized it in the last steps the imagesize whould be about that high. Edit: I don't get this, I took the result from your site (copy, pasted it) and tried to save. 93 quality needed. Then I used save image as, then opened and saved. 17 quality needed. It's the exactly the same image... :?

Select pretty close to the object (try to make the selection the same ratio as you want it to be in the end) Crop canvas to the selection. Use the magic wand to remove the most of the background, then remove the rest with the eraser or whatever you like. New layer, fill with white and move that layer down. (By now, before the resizing, I can get the size to 40Kb at quality 37) Resize and crop it to the right size if you need it. New layer, write text. Save, filetype jpeg, and put the quality so the size is correct. Hope this will help! :wink:

@welshblue: just wanted to give an example of what you're able to do. :wink:

It's a plugin for it, try to search next time: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=24685 It doesn't support antialias though...

For an example, look at my image (some posts up). It's just a question about shape and color :wink:

I tried a couple of things on your photo and I could keep the quality at about 90. The biggest problem in your example is the part of the background you didn't remove, with a completly white background it was easier. The filesize depends on the image size (number of pixels used), and the number of colors (and transparancy in .png, .gif etc.). 40Kb image: (bad grammar in the image, sorry...)

Is this anything like what you want?

Really interesting plugin, well done!

I've had this problem once. You'll have to uninstall it properly, through the Control Panel > "Add/Remove Programs" if I remember it right...

These are close to the ones I used: Bulge: 100 0,13 -0.85 Bulge: 68 -0,12 0,76 Power stretch: 53 23 -18 0 0,44 0,32 0 Power stretch: 79 41 16 0 -0,62 0,21 0

Someone want an apple? (click for full size) Edited with background: edit: The bulge and power stretch values is two posts below this is you want to do an apple.

Wow...

Agreed with oma's solution except that I should use "auto-level" then a bit of the "basic adjustments" before "shadow/highlight" (oma's edit is a bit dark in the corners edges, this method makes them keep their color/brightness). Plus selecting the skin of each separatly, copy and paste each part in a new layer. Set the blending mode to multiply and play around with the opacity until satisfied. And maybe some smaller pixel editing. Sorry if this is a bit late but...

I think I could help you more if you attached the images, I don't get your current problem...

That's what I meant by manually, I should have looked for a thread like that.

oma, I think you missed what he wanted to know. He wants to add color to an already black and white photo, and the only way I know to do that is to manually add color to the picture. Any other ideas?

I think MadJik's polar transformation plugin will work. Just write your text on a square canvas, and then use the plugin at the option: Transform rectangular to polar. edit: I'm sure ash wrote this somewhere... edit 2: Here, I found it: ...viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23138 edit 3: Forget it, it works much better on shapes than text.

Make a lasso select around the part of the pic, change the color range (in the plugin) so it covers the color of the uniform (make sure that the uniform is the only thing that changes color when changing the hue).
