Pixey Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 As you can imagine, once an image is saved to .jpeg or .png, it's hard to change the content 😲 You could try 'selecting' the lines with the Rectangle Select Tool and then use a Plugin, like Average Blur to clean the edges. 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.

Pixey Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Whilst it could be tedious, you could use the color picker to get the exact color, make a new layer, and draw lines. 1 hour ago, jsoba77 said: how make the top pattern less soft looking and more hard and stronger looking like the bottom one Play with the CURVES Plugin to get that lighter color. Or, the Levels Ctrl + L 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.

Or, the Levels Ctrl + L Thanks for the response, I to make it lighter, I just want to make the actual texture look harder like the one below If possible or even like this, if that makes sense, my current one is way too soft looking, in comparison (Hard looking) Mine (soft looking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sample was too zoomed in so I had to use bigger radius. 1 hour ago, jsoba77 said: is there anyway to do this and still keep the previous details as before as this seems to ge make the surface too smooth I don't know. You could try recreating the texture maybe? Because it's easier that way. I used this texture: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/detailed-woven-fabric-texture-seamless-repeat-1484323856 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Roly Poly Goblinoli Posted September 26, 2022 Solution Share Posted September 26, 2022 You could just copy a thin rectangle of pixels near the edges and put them over the rough edges so they're nice and straight. Or take Pixey's edge blur approach and copy all the modified edges to some layer that you run AA's assistant on since you wanted those edges to 'blend' better.

As I want to learn and get better at using this app I want to learn as much as possible , so I am not sure what exactly you mean? What is AA assistant?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 AA's Assistant is a plugin. Use it to smooth the edges of an object (Object = a group of pixels surrounded by transparency). 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
