I haven't yet. But I did come across it when looking to see what was new on the forums. From what I gathered from the picture, it looks like it's only for certain types of circle brushes. Nothing too descriptive about the CustomBrushesMini file other than it's suppose to help clean up what brushes you do have. And I see that it has a button to import brushes. I didn't see any other examples other than the layout of the display. Can you import free Photoshop brushes? Does the imported brushes have to be made only in paint.net? I will try it later, but have to get ready for work now. Thank you for your time and input Simon Brown.

I didn't understand what you meant by flip until I looked under the effects menu. :oops: I've been trying to use Image -> Flip Horizontal/Flip Vertical OR Layer -> Flip Horizontal/Flip Vertical for the longest time. My bad. I figured the new version was updating the Image & Layer tab flip effects.... when it was in the Effects tab this whole time. :oops: Gaah! :x I must've overlooked it by accident, been adding on and forgetting what I've added on last. :oops: Thank You for your help!

Hello, I liked BoltBaits example of how to make a cartoon talk bubble. Very simple way to make. But I was wondering if a "Cartoon Talk Bubble Package" may be in the works. My husband just tested to see what the next Windows OS is going to be like. It was offered by the Windows site as a beta test drive before it's officially brought out. I tested the new MS Paint program out to see what all they had new... if they had changed it. Only thing I seen is that they had their old buttons replaced with new ones & cartoon bubbles pre-made.... almost as if it was in a stamp-like format.... like a circle, square, etc. :ShapeBoth: You could stretch it to re-size the bubble, or choose amongst different emotional bubbles (e.g. thinking, excitement, regular conversation bubbles) You could change the position of the bubble without having to use the "flip" effect. Just drag the top of the image down and the "talk arrow" is facing up. :? I just searched for so long in this forum, then did an actual search in the search box but couldn't find anything on this subject I'm asking about now. If this has all ready been discussed, just let me know and I'll see if I can figure out a way to move it to the appropriate forum section. Just please don't delete me! P.S. PDN Members I know a lot of you guys/gals do a lot to take time out of your day/night to code all this stuff... whether it is easy or not to anyone. Your time and effort into making these effects is appreciated! I tried coding at one time (for a h.s. project) to make a calculator on the computer... All I could do is give the buttons color and give the calculator a flowery background. :oops: I don't mean to sound picky, honest. I was just curious if such things are possible to be done. Thank You, ~Maylin P.S.S. Sorry if this sounds like a "pick on Boltbait day". It's not meant to be and I have no intentions on it sounding like that. He's the only one I can think of right off for now that has done some projects I like, that are very close to what I'm looking for. Sorry if nothing sounds right... kinda tired now...Stayed up late to post this but couldn't help myself. I want to know if it can be done.

Hello, I just wanted to say I updated Boltbate's package- as well as the Flip.dll file. It looks to have been made better. I don't mean to sound picky :oops: .... but is there a way to get the image on it's own layer to flip horizontal/vertical without it being flipped to the other side of the page? Kinda like when you cut and paste an image in a new layer or on the same page... it stays/shows up in the exact place I need it to be... by the way is a VERY major help whomever created that little piece. It helped me restore someones photograph that was in very bad shape. It helped a lot, but oh the patience. P.S.

Yay! Thank you very much! I was a little hesitant on putting a question on here. The question(s) need to be posted on the thread from which it relates to a tutorial. But yet, the one I wanted to post on is locked. So that's why I posted here. Again, thank you!

I thought tutorials where locked because too many people were asking questions that needed to be answered on in a question forum section instead. :? Ok, I will post thread in same forum. :oops: Edit: It's been locked. I guess I can talk to Mike or something. :oops:

Hello everyone, I all ready have this odd feeling this is going to be locked because I've probably missed the tut somewheres along the line... but I'm gonna give it a shot any way. Yes, I am a beginner, but I've worked with other software programs and always do my best to find the answer if I don't have to ask... but, I can't really find anything on the search section about a particular question I'm needing help with. I like challenges, so I was looking into the (A tut on a tut possibly :? ) Mike Ryan Signature Tutorial: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25248 There is a step that confuses me, but as soon as I can figure out what it means, I'm sure I can get the rest. If anyone can give me and idea at least, I will leave you all alone, I promise. :oops: Here is the steps: (I get this, and have the alpha mask plug, as where it should be on my computer) #3 After you have built the body of your signature, open up Alpha Mask found in your object submenu. If there is already a file directory in the plugin dialog [see Sample] then reset Alpha Mask (This one confuses me all to pieces) #4 Set your plugin to remove black. This should cleanly remove the black from the image leaving pure white. Set the original layer - Signature Body - to hidden. We are keeping this layer for archiving purposes only, including Alpha Masking later down.. THE QUESTION(s): How do you set your plugin to remove black? Is the signature layer selected as your doing the alpha channel? I'm getting that maybe the image your creating is made in black and then set to white using the alpha channel? These are the only questions I have for this tut. I know, I know... I'm putting too much on my plate... I'm an "unheathy artist". :oops: All I asking for is a little help. I don't care if it gets locked as I don't wanna be locked out of the forums all together. This is my first question post. I've done a few tutorials on all kinds of things, so I just thought to step it up a bit with something a little more challenging. Well... Mike Ryan did a good job with the challenge part. Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time. -Maylin
