BrooksR Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Please see attached gif file. This is a portion of a larger *.pdn file that is too large to post here. The pdn was created by choosing a gray background, importing a rectangular graphic image into it, then changing the image shape to oval and somehow blending the border of the oval into the gray background. The original designer is not available and I need to know how it was done and how I can recreate it with a new graphic. I'm pretty sure one or more tools from the Effects menu was used. Can you help? Thanks! Brooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hello @BrooksR and welcome to the forum You could attempt this by using layers and a few plugins: Doing the text might be a bit labor intensive, but typing the text on a clean layer, and position with the Move Selected Pixels Tool then merge down to the previous layer. 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.

Tactilis Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I'd use an online word cloud generator to produce the central graphic, then follow @Pixey's approach for the oval and blur. There are hundreds of generators, but this one looks pretty flexible: https://www.wordclouds.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksR Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 My question was misunderstood. I have the graphic - just needed to know how to blend it in with the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
