How to reproduce a controlled transparent blur
ventor1 replied to ajbrachman88's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
I would use a linear gradient starting with a darker blue color (primary) and fading to a lighter blue color with transparency (secondary) set on the 'Transparancy-Alpha' slider in the color picker. Edit: out ninja'd by EER -
Given that you are looking for another project, I have long been waiting for something that can create lines/splines with a specified number of control points. Where separating an image from a background becomes complicated and where the usual means do not work well, I will often zoom in on the image and using the line tool I will create a border around the image. I then use that line as a silhouette to separate the image from the background and vice-versa. Having the ability to create a spline/line with as many control points as I would like would give me the ability to manipulate tha

Flaming/fire effects help
ventor1 replied to thunderrooster's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Hi Thunderrooster, I am not too sure what you are referring to with regard to blurring the edges, although it sounds as though you may want to use the smudge tool. Please refer to my "Burning Font" tutorial below which shows how it is utilised: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/24383-burning-font/ Cheers, V. -
[HELP] Problems with transparency?
ventor1 replied to nathantaylor's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Now that you have no background, be sure to select only the giraffe with the 'magic wand' tool and not the whole image. Then copy and paste that and it should work fine! -
If plugins are O.K., then Grim Colour Reaper is what you are after: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/15595-grim-color-reaper-plugin/?hl=+grim%20+reaper It is easy to use and the dialogue is very self explanatory. With images such as that though you may need to feather the edges and then run AA's assistant (refer to EER's link above).

Question About Adding Borders To Non Square Shapes?
ventor1 replied to tackyjan's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Assuming I have read your question correctly, you could simply duplicate the layer and then scale up that duplicated layer. Use the magic wand to select the object on that layer and fill it with your desired colour. Another alternative would be to duplicate the layer again and then play around with 'median' under the Effects/Noise tab. I often use median effectively to scale object outlines where there are no corners such as that which are found in triangles, etc. Playing with percentile and radius will give you very different, and sometimes great results. 'Outline Object', 'Outline s -
All, Is there any way to export .eps postscript files? I am noticing that more and more printing houses are requesting files to be submitted in .eps format. Is it a simple matter of changing the extension on a file name, or does a plugin need to be written to convert to .eps? I note that the plugin on this link can import postscript files: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28078-postscript-filetype-plugin-ps-eps-ai/ T.I.A. Ventor.

How to make a "strip" & keep transparency
ventor1 replied to Traci S's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Hi Traci, Very easy done. Simply open your transparent image in PDN. Then create a new layer and move it down using the "move layer down" arrow in the layer window. Select that layer so that it is the working layer (this should happen by default when you move it down), and using the "rectangle select" tool, drag a rectangle so that it covers the two black lines. Then simply select white colour followed by the 'paint bucket' tool, and click in the rectangle. Save your file as a .png, and you're done! *** Note that this will merge your layers down, so rather than save, do a 'save a
