Thanks.. I saw this tool but didn't know how to make it work till you gave the link. Is there any other tips I can use to get a more clean copy selection? The wand wants to capture some of the background outside of the area I want to capture? In this case the subject for capture are letters and it doesn't select as well as I'd like. Here is the original image http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/8480/broccolitvblacktest.jpg Here is the text I captured: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5924/broiconew.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I had a program to do this years ago.. i thought it was paint.net but i could be wrong. Lets say I have an image with graphics and text (the text is just part of the image made with a graphics program - not regular text) I want to use a tool that traces the letters or other images to capture them. This was like a magic wand or something i think.. does paint.net do this?

Thanks Folks! That did the trick. I am now happily making t-shirts for SecondLife and other OpenSim type virtual worlds! Ya know.. it was really simple once I could see what was going on in the photoshop file.

Thank you for the help! However I cannot get it to work. I donwloaded the photoshop file type plugin and not sure what to do with it since it was not an effect and there is no readme file (Yeah I read the sticky.. I think every plugin Must have a readme file) I stuck a copy off in Effects and in the Paint.net folder itself.. I don't seem to have any other 'plugin' folders that I can find. Er.. Of course I unzipped the dll and just moved the dll not the whole zip file. The other plugin, photo flood and fill I put in the Effects folder. The template file I have from Ron Woods is called 'RSW T-Shirt.psd' and it is 6,701 KB . When I try to open this with paint.net it says it cannot recognize the file type. What am I doing wrong? Did I get the wrong template file or is the photoshop plugin not installed correctly?

Hi, I want to know How to use Paint.net to make T-shirts for SecondLife. I have a tutorial on using CS2 to do this.. it's found here: http://www.secondlife-shirts.com/advanc ... torial.htm or http://olilas-secondlife.com/2007/11/tu ... ns-part-1/ And many other places on the Net. I want to know how to do the same with Paint.Net, as I cannot get a copy of CS2. I cannot study the CS2 that I do not have to understand what is going on. If someone is up on the concept described in these pages please write me a short tutorial on how to do that in paint.net. Thank You!
