Just Another User Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) So I have an image in Paint.net that is just textures on transparent background, and I wanted it to look like an ink sketch (you know, the outlines and all) but when I use the effect, it fills the transparent places all black. All I need is for the ink sketch effect to leave those transparent places untouched. Edited July 1, 2019 by Just Another User The reason for the edit is to give a little more detail about what I want the output to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hello @Just Another User and Welcome Why don't you try merging the texture (with the transparent background) onto a white layer and flatten. Then try Ink sketch again Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

HyReZ Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) @Just Another User Have you tried the Ink Sketch + plugin that is a part of Ahmed's plugin pack here? Edited July 3, 2019 by HyReZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyReZ Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Unlike Ink Sketch; Ink Sketch + does not alter background transparency! The ink drawing effect looks best to me when the 'blue' box is checked. Edited July 3, 2019 by HyReZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 11 hours ago, welshblue said: Alternatively - and this all depends on the textures mentioned - you could use the magic wand >>> click on a transparent part >>> Ctrl + I to invert the selection >>> Run Ink Sketch Or, instead, use BoltBait's Paste Alpha plugin. (I try to use the Magic Wand as seldom as possible for this kind of thing.) Though it's hard to tell the best plan without seeing the image you want to modify, one approach is: Copy the image to the clipboard. Add a white layer underneath. Merge down, so your original image is now on a white background instead of transparent. Run Ink Sketch. Run Paste Alpha, with the Alpha Source set to Clipboard alpha. EDIT: Though HyReZ's suggestion of using Ink Sketch+ is probably the best way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
