Ranierz Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Hello! I've been using Paint.net for quite a while now and I also downloaded several plugins to ease my experience using it, but the only thing that I can't really tell how to get around is the size of the dots or the shapes when you use the preset options in "Fill" its too small even if I adjusted the size of it, it only makes the brushes larger not the shapes in it. It could really help a lot if someone know a solution for this. Edited February 12, 2021 by Ranierz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixey Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think @Ranierz means the Bucket Fill option in the tool bar? If so, there is no way to change the sizes, you will have to use a Plugin, like Parallel Lines and Patterns, or, Random Shape Fill. Oh - and welcome to the forum @Ranierz 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.

ardneh Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 If the plugins @Pixey suggested work for you, that's the way to go. There are also work-arounds you could use for Paint Bucket, Brush and Line / Curve tools. However, work-arounds always mean extra time and extra steps.

Red ochre Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 A little late replying - I hope you see this. Pixey suggests some good alternatives but if you specifically want those fill patterns but larger, this method may help... there are other work-arounds too. MJW's 'Paste from Clipboard' plugin is very useful: 0. Install the plugin and re-start Paint.net. 1. Create a new image, quite small, say 32 by 32 pixels. 2. Edit/Select all. 3. Fill with the desired fill pattern (Paint bucket tool). 4. Edit/Copy. 5. Return to the image you are working on and select the area you wish to fill. 6. Run Effects/Selection/Paste from clipboard, select the tiled option and play with the size slider. @MJW - a 'nearest neighbour' option for 'anti-alias quality' could be useful for these small patterns. Great effect Btw - thanks! 1 1 1 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
