charlie2 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So I am new to drawing and "Paint.Net" in general, so I expected to run into some problems; mainly this one. I created a new layer and was trying to draw a line but it wont show. All t shows is the resizing tool for the line but not the actual line itself. IT happened to me last night so I tested it before I did some work today and it worked. I'm doing transparent drawings if that effets it at all. I'll attached photos.

IRON67 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) You have tried drawing a new line outside the selection. You have to delete the selection before drawing something new or you must draw inside the actual selection.

Red ochre Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Hello Charlie - welcome to the forum! I see from the screen shot that you have a selection 'active' and are trying to draw a line outside of the selection. Not possible. Try clicking the green tick that says 'finish' in the top tool bar or the 'deselect' icon. You are also drawing the line on the background layer (highlighted light blue) - I'd recommend creating another new layer to draw your line on. Make sure you are drawing on the layer you want to - ie. the one highlighted blue in the layers window. Press the F1 key while Pdn is open and you will find useful instructions in the working with layers section. ... or click here:http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html I hope that helps - it sounds far harder than it is! Iron67 beat me to it! Edited August 29, 2016 by Red ochre ninja'd Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

charlie2 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thank you. I hit enter and it work. I should've slowed down and read. That was my own fault. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie2 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Oh, and one more question: can Paint.net do 360 degrees rotation instead of 180 degrees? I'm terrible at perspective (but I'm learning) Edited August 29, 2016 by charlie2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) You can rotate any layer, the entire image or a single object in any angle you want. See Layers -> Rotate/Zoom ... or use a plugin for rotation other than 90/180° like RotateZoom+ or Rotation Bilinear. And by the way ... 360° is 180° x 2 Edited August 29, 2016 by IRON67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
