    What holding down the "shift" key when using the magic wand does is, it selects all areas in the picture that are the same color as the clicked-on area, not just adjacent areas of the same color. If the area inside your "0" is a different color than what you're clicking on, it won't work. Alternatively, you could just use the "color to Alpha" plugin.

    If you're trying to resize a square (300 X 300) image down to 75 by 22, you're going to end up with a large amount of squashing. Possibly you're mistaking the squashing for quality loss? You might want to consider some cropping as well as resizing.

    Thanks! UPDATE: Added 3 new pics - 2 photo manips and an abstract/realistic.

    I've been wondering if it might be possible to add a "tapering" option to the line/curve tool, so it gradually narrows out as it nears the end. Possibly there could also be a slider/box to choose how far away from the end (in pixels) you want the line to start narrowing out. Can this be done/would it be easy to do?

    You could also probably modify this tut to match what you want... in step 5, just fill it with color instead of doing what he says.

    I think he wanted a cork texture, not a collage. I don't think there are any tutorials on the subject (searchpaint.net returned 0 results for "cork texture" and only this thread for "cork").

    Might want to start using clickable thumbnails before the mods jump on your back. Other than that, though, keep up the good work!

    Your One Ring is pretty amazing. Did you use multiple Shape3D renders for that, or just one?
  9. PyroTechniques
    Or you could use the Outline Object plugin...

    Um... did you install it after you downloaded it?

    It depends on whether you just want to brighten the picture, or add actual sun rays. If you just want to brighten the picture, you could try Wither's tutorial on faking a Dodge tool. If you actually want to add sun rays, you could look at barkbark00's Enhanced Light/Sun Ray Tutorial and maybe add some modifications.

    Can your application save and load images?
  13. PyroTechniques
    If you save the image but don't close PdN, the history stays. If you save the image and close PdN, your history is gone.

    I love your skins. You should make a skin for Firefox.

    To move something from one image to another, just select it, copy it, switch to the other image, and paste into a new layer.
  16. PyroTechniques
    Well, you have to name the thing, don't you? Or did you have a default name as well? However, I don't believe that PdN allows you to change save defaults (i.e., default image type, default save folder, etc.)
  17. PyroTechniques
    I just have PdN set as my default image editor, and it automatically opens PNGs, JPEGs, etc in PdN when I right-click and hit Edit. In Vista, to set your default programs, go to Control Panel->Programs->Default Programs.

    For the "crop by one line" thing, try using the xy coordinates at the bottom right. Use the arrow keys to move one pixel at a time. for instance, if you wanted to crop the top of an 800X600 image by one line, you might move your cursor to -1, 599 and rectangle-select the rest of the image. Then all you have to do is crop it.
  19. PyroTechniques
    I think you can just use tags.
  20. PyroTechniques
    Or, put your text into a different layer, select it, and use right-click on the Move Selected Pixels tool. Right-click rotates the selection.
  21. PyroTechniques
    Try Hexagonal Grid, mess with the settings, and draw some lines of your own. Might get you what you want. To get a perfectly symmetrical effect, just make one half of it, then duplicate the layer and flip it horizontally.
  22. PyroTechniques
    It won't? *opens PDN and tries* Well, I'll be darned. It won't. But you could just look at the opacity number and set it to the same on the new layer... unless you're using BoltBait's Transparency plugin. Ah well. Another great idea shot down once again by the inestimable David.Atwell. (some day, I will come up with something you can't gainsay... )
  23. PyroTechniques
    Or you can select the whole layer by using rectangle select, then hitting ctrl + c and pasting it into a new image/layer.
  24. PyroTechniques
    I don't think so. Maybe you could look online for some sort of image-compression software?
  25. PyroTechniques
    You can add to an active selection by holding down ctrl while you select. So, if you have something selected, and you want to select something else but keep your original selection, just hold down ctrl and select. You can also deselect specific areas of an image (a.k.a. subtract) by holding down alt and drawing your selection. (took me forever to figure that one out... )
