frostid Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I added a custom brush following the instruction listed in the plugins section, but it does not work. Can anyone tell me why? I have the lastest version of paintnet. I downloaded, unzipped, unblocked. Put in paintnet user files in custom brushes file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 When you click Effects -> Draw with Custom Brushes, what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostid Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I get another page with a box down the left side. At the top it says search brushes. At the bottom there are three boxes--top one says add brush, bottom left one says ok, bottom right one says cancel. I clicked on add brush & added new brush & it shows up in the long bar, but when I choose it, go to my image & start to paint I get whatever is chosen on the main paint toolbar--solid color, waves, whatever. Thanks for your interest in my question. dj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostid Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 oh boy, I'm going to show my dumbness here. I've never done a screenshot. How do I go about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Press the "prt sc" key on your keyboard, go to Paint.NET/MS Paint, click edit -> paste, upload to imageshack and copy the code given for a forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostid Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I sure hope this shows up. I added a few more brushes, but may have to delete until I know how to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Try increasing the brush size (from the CB toolbar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostid Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Oh gee whiz, it worked. Thank you so much. Can I make them colored or am I stuck with black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostid Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Went back & looked & noticed there's a color button, tried it & got colored brush. Thanks so much for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonArtist Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 There is another way too, you can keep it black than we you finish brushing what you want, invert the colors than you the Color Filter plugin.
