I need a new "colour" for my paint bucket

[HannahMiles]

Hi.

Though I browsed this forum pretty thoroughly, I don't think there was something relating to my request.

I am playing Sims2, or better: I am recolouring clothing, objects and such for the Sims2. So far, paint.net has been the best tool for this.

However, now I am confronted with a recolouring tutorial based on Jasc Paint Shop Pro, which I don't own and don't plan to purchase. In this tutorial, a new background pattern is created which can be added by using the paint bucket. This, however, would also be a good addition to the colour-replacing tool in Paint.net ...

Unfortunately, I cannot add pictures here, otherwise I would be able to make myself clearer (English is not my mother-tongue).

Is it generally possible to add a pattern to the colour-palette which can be used with paint-bucket and/or recolouring-tool?

I am working with version 2.63

Thanks for helping me!

You might be looking for the "fill style":

And IMG tags definetly do work; make sure you really close it after the URL and that there are no spaces between the tags and the URL!

This does sound good, however, I cannot find a way to add a filling style to the given ones. For the time being, I tried to get things done by means of the cloning stamp, which worked out pretty fine, though not completely satisfying.

Thanks!

Try this plugin. I think it does what you are looking for. If you use the magic wand instad of the fill tool, and then use the plugin to fill the selected area with an external file.

Thanks aatwo!

I just downloaded and applied this tool. It's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for this link!
