pbc Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Have tried a few tutorials but still struggling with this and am a complete noob to paint.net. I am trying to create a decal and need to send a high res photo of a logo for it. But there are no high res photos online. Have tried recreating it in paint, but getting jagged edges vs smooth edges and second, would like to make the grey look more like a brushed aluminum grey? Not sure if this is also a way to create the same shape. Any help would be appreciated! E.g., make this, that I managed to get from a couple different logos... look more like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hello @pbc and welcome to the forum The best Plugin to use to get rid of 'jaggies' is AA's Assistant. To get more dimension/roundness to you text and emblem, is to use @BoltBait's Bevel Object, which can be found in his Plugin pack. There is also a Metalize Plugin. < Clickable > 1 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.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hello & welcome to the forum @pbc One trick is to make your image larger. Much larger. The image you posted is 285px x 280px. If you use a canvas that is five or six times that size you'll find the edges will be easier to smooth out (because there are a lot more pixels to play with).

HyReZ Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) I was able to find the logo in the banner of madVR labs web site. madVR Labs manufactures extreme video hardware and software products to meet the demands of the most discerning and critical video enthusiasts.https://madvrenvy.com Edited March 10, 2022 by HyReZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otuncelli Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) I've created the madvr logo shape (with image tracing). Put it in "Program Files\paint.net\Shapes" folder and restart paint.net. madvr.zip (I might delete this file as I have a limited attachment capacity.) You can use Inkscape to trace images and convert them to SVGs. After that, you can use my svg plugin to import them into paint.net.
