JAS Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Can someone tell me how to make the brush tool an actual solid fill, even tho its marked as such it still is gray at 1 pixel length, thanks also i cant seem to figure out to move layers, ie move the background layer on top of a new layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussi3ies Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Once you click on the brush tool there is a toolbar where you can select the width of the brush and next to it is the fill where you can select solid and so on. And you can also choose what color of the brush from the colors swatch. You can move layers down by pressing the small down arrow on the layers box. Unless you mean merging? if you mean that then that is simple just press the merge button on the layers box and they will combine.

And just make the width bigger of the brush. Quote Website: Aussi3ies Website Forum: Aussi3ies Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just make the width bigger of the brush. set to solid? where is that setting, because if your refering to fil, i already said it is on solid. also i dont want to make to width bigger, i want to use one black pixel at a time, not gray, i guess something like how paint works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Check that the colour you're using has an alpha value of 255, full opacity. It sounds as though your colour is slightly transparent, hence the need to reiterate the draw to solidify it. You can access the fine-tuning of your colours via the More button located on your Colour window.

Myrddin Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 A 1px width line you say? If they are to be straight lines with no curvature, then maybe switching from anti-alias ( :AntiAliasingOn: ) to alias ( :AntiAliasingOff: ) rendering would solve the problem. You can find this option at the top next to the Fill options. When at this brush width, anti-aliasing has a tendency to apply itself to the edges of straightened lines, which can be annoying for someone who wishes for crisp lines.

Myrddin Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 No, sorry. If you want it to erase to white, then use the Paintbrush with a white colour. The only way. As for customisable shortcuts, that's also a 'no'. It has been suggested before, and Rick Brewster, the lead developer, doesn't wish to have Paint.NET too confusing for newer users with numerous and endless configurations*. Not to mention the complication of overlapping shortcuts because of improper configuring. *I cannot find the exact quote from him, rather a comment made by david.atwell, of which Rick had no complaints against.
