    Also, I am using and creating .ABR brushes in Paint.net but can only use them with Effects ~Tools~Brush Mini. Is it possible to use them within the same main screen of the image? Any advice or help would be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

     

    I would strongly recommend you use Dynamic Draw as it allows you to load the ABR brushes.

     

     

  2. I think it is possible and you will have to search through the plug-in to find the best text plug-in to render the text in that format. I believe @xod made one. Also search online for similar font, download and install the font. There are instructions online how to install font.

     

    1) Remove white background using Magic Wand and delete the white background so that you are working on transparent layer. Make two layers, one for white background, and another to manipulate the sign.

    2) Use lasso selection tool and carefully select around Redskins and then delete.

    3) Use the text plug-in to render word that you want to replace.

    4) When you are satisficed, flatten the image (Image > Flatten), and save as PNG file.

     

    Edit:

     

    I think this plug-in will work for you.

     

  3. From the FAQ:

     

    (1) Will it ever be ported to Mac OS, GNU/Linux, or any other operating system?

    (2) What about Mono support? Wouldn't that be really easy?

    We will not be doing any work to directly support Mac OS, Linux, Mono, or any other platform. We are doing this in order to focus on the best quality and support for the platform that we develop on: Windows with .NET. Also, we simply do not have the resources or expertise to do any of this work.

    What do you mean? It works on any Windows PC, but I'm guessing you mean something more specific?

    I am wondering if Paint.NET will work on Surface Pro tablet or would it be best to stick with desktop and laptop. In other words, would there be any performance difference between Surface Pro and the desktop and/or laptop?

     

    Edit: Reason I'm inquiring is I am shopping for a tablet, and Surface Pro tend to pop up in mind as something I could use for mobility. I have already been disappointed with my small form PC (purchased from MinisForums) after discovering that Windows 11 will not be supported without making a risky registry change.

    @TrevorOutlawI tried it via sobel operation and while it works, the fact that an outline goes around the pixels, instead of occupying the same spot as the pixels, makes it in some cases look pretty ugly, e.g. with the dots brush. Muddy/dirty textures also end up with scribbly looking outlines. I could do what Pixlr probably does and set some kind of alpha threshold, but then you're not seeing the full brush shape. Far easier to just render the brush at half opacity as the cursor (this is actually less work in terms of performance too). Does that work? Is there a reason you'd want the outline instead? I'd think using the actual brush at half opacity as the cursor will lead to the best ability to line up pixels before clicking.


    I’ll go with whatever you think will work best. It sounds like the outline might be trickier.

    1) I would like to see the square brush be replaced with an outline geometry of the brush file.  It would make it easier for me to see where I am painting, especially when performing pre-masking paint for my photo manipulations.

     


    @NinthDesertDude I really appreciate all the hard work that went into making DynamicDraw and it is bringing PDN closer to the same level as Gimp and Kirta. I thought I’d would revisit this since the request to use ABR brushes has been successfully implemented with @null54supporting the efforts. 
     

    If the quoted request is not feasible, then I will consider the matter closed. Thank you again for all the hard work. DynamicDraw is one of my go-to tools within PDN.

    Awhile ago I looked into adding this and there just weren't any keys left to bind these to. You can't just have conditional shortcuts in this case because that would make it difficult for a tool that wants to have both of those sliders. The Recolor tool, for instance, has both Hardness and Tolerance.

     

    Choosing letters for the shortcuts, e.g. J and K, doesn't work well on non-QWERTY keyboards.

    That make sense. Thanks for looking into it and explaining. 

  8. Man, this make me miss Welshblue as he was one of the masters when it comes to wood texture. Woodsy was awesome in his old west motif as evident by his awesome gallery.

     

    Also, this awesome nugget in variant 6, "...and we will get a texture with an imitation of a bitch."

     

    🤣
