dougen101 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 1: Hello I am new here and I use Paint.net many times it is great however. I always make engines (train engines) for an game I have though some times I want to have a line changing from Blue to Orange Only way to do that is using the Gradient tool but that make the picture skind behind invisible ( I always use texture's and then color them.. For example I want to make the back end of this engine orange without overwriting the lines But! the only way to achieve what I want is to select the part I want to colour, And click gradient and then it is done but unfortunately it overwrote the lines and now the back is 100% orange, At front I used saturation and there the lines are visible Now comes the question is there an plug in that combines the Gradient tool with the Hue and Saturation tool? I need it very hard! I have more reqeust or qeustions but only three attachments are allowed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 You should just be able to move the gradient layer behind the text layer so the text appears over the gradient by using the move layer up/down arrows in the Layers window.

Boude Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 if it's all on one layer try using magic wand with 0% tolerance and additive selection mode and then gradient the selection. btw 0% tolerance only works when the lines aren't :AntiAliasingOn: but :AntiAliasingOff: , with words when the lines are anti-aliased, my advice would be to first color and then draw the lines. And maybe a transparent gradient would help. if you need more advice you can PM me. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time.
