Nellucnaiv Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Hi all, I am fairly new to this forum and am very grateful for having discovered it! The 1998 free version 5.01 of PSP has a really neat spray can with opacity, size, density etc controls. I was wondering whether it is possible to somehow incorporate it into Paint.net? Also, I am using and creating .ABR brushes in Paint.net but can only use them with Effects ~Tools~Brush Mini. Is it possible to use them within the same main screen of the image? Any advice or help would be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I would say... be patient. The next major release of Paint.NET will include a completely rewritten brush system. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 You should provide some sample screenshots so we know what you mean. I don't even know how to get a copy of such an old app. Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I would strongly recommend you use Dynamic Draw as it allows you to load the ABR brushes.

Nellucnaiv Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 BoltBait, thank you for your words. It reminds me of just what a privilege it is to have a free programme like Paint.net and all the people who have so kindly contributed to make it such a wealthy work. Rick Brewster, as for images from Paint Shop Pro 5.01, I can't find any for the Spray brush. The others are simply png's that work similarly to ABR brushes. ReMake, thank you for pointing Rick to the link for PSP 5.01! TrevorOutlaw, I am deeply grateful to you for letting me know about Dynamic Draw! I'm going to download it now and check everything out. Really excited!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null54 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 @Rick Brewster According to the documentation for a more recent version of PaintShop Pro, spray can is/was an alternate name for an airbrush. 1 Quote Plugin Pack | PSFilterPdn | Content Aware Fill | G'MIC | Paint Shop Pro Filetype | RAW Filetype | WebP Filetype The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opacity is #11 and Size is #14 below, and you can use Add Brush Images (#5) to upload ABR brushes, if they can be read (hopefully) The brush images to choose from is #4 and custom brushes you add appear near the end of the box Density is #3, but you'll have to turn off the checkbox (#2) to mess with it Min. Draw Distance (#1) is also related to brush density and useful for long distances between each stamp of the brush The airbrush behavior is Horizontal and Vertical Spray (#6 and #7) Let me know if you have any trouble. Here's the Documentation for full details on everything 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
