feddex Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Been using the software a while, and I like it, but I need some help, or maybe I am just missing something. Looking for a simple way to take a smaller png file, say 30x30 px, and tile it over and over into a larger canvas size, say 1000x600 px, to fill that larger canvas size with hundreds or thousands of the image and retain the properties of the original PNG (transparency, color, and shading). I see ways to tile larger pictures into smaller and all manner of listings on the tiling subject, none seem to be what I am looking for. Help and clear instructions are appreciated. Thank you.

BlastOfBN Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Have you tried using the “Zoom” feature found under the Layers tab? That allows for tiling a layer’s/canvas’s image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That allows for tiling a layer’s/canvas’s image. That does not work. The OP asked for the small image to be tiled multiple times on a larger canvas. Do this: 1. Open your small image. 2. CTRL+A to select all, then CTRL+C to copy to the clipboard. 3. Create a canvas of your desired size. 4. Effects | Fill | From Clipboard to use BoltBait's plugin to tile the copied image over the canvas. Alternatively, you can skip steps 1 and 2 by using Effects | Fill | From File at step 4. You can obtain the plugin from here https://forums.getpaint.net/BoltBaitPluginPack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 A long time ago I wrote a little tiling plugin called Echo. It was part of a set of Stereogram plugins I was developing. All it did was tile the top left corner across & down. I didn't release the plugins publicly, however you can find Echo here: 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...
