007 Nab Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Make sure you use search. Here's a tutorial that will help Cutting Out Images the Easy Way v2. Cut out your pics and then paste them into a background like that city you have there. Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish.

007 Nab Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 If you want to understand Paint.NET better, there are 3 things I can tell you: 1. Look over the Help File (F1 while in PDN) 2. Mess around in PDN! 3. Check out the tutorials Once you get a feel for things tutorials will start making more sense. Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

Okay, I'll do them, And I'll tell you if I get more comfortably using Paint.net, Because, I am new at this, So I'll just mess around and try to get things right, Thanks for the advice..

Chris_Rulez Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 Okay, I went through it, And I made my own, Now remember, This is my first time so don't be too harsh, (lol) But I made one, And here it is..

Chris_Rulez Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 Thanks, But I could probably do better if I understood Paint.net more, But thanks for the compliment.

007 Nab Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Honestly, even though the men are a bit stretched vertically, I think this collage looks better than your friend's - as far as cut outs go. Very nice and clean lines. Now I would work on the text. Check out this tutorial, as well as this one. They might help you get some better text effects. If I were you, I wouldn't save your pictures as .GIFs because they lose a lot of quality (you see all of those little dots everywhere on your pic?). Next time, or if you kept the layered .PDN file, save your picture as a .PNG or.BMP because those don't lose quality over time. Hope I am of help Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

Hope I am of help Wow, You have been the most helpful, I'm gonna check out the text tutorials, And I realized the .Gifs things, From now on I save it is .PNG but, I did actually take those pictures from photobucket :oops: but it doesn't matter, If I had more time I would have made my own, But I didn't. But thanks for the advice/help I'll be checking out the tuts soon! Quote The post above probably has crappy art.. Just look past that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Rulez Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 I looked at both of them.. 1. I do not want to download any plugins, Because my computer is stuffed, And If I add anything else it will freeze, (I gotta delete some stuff) 2. They were kind of confusing, The First one was confusing, And the second you need to download about 3 plugins.. Any help with the font....? Quote The post above probably has crappy art..

007 Nab Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Honestly, plugins are soo small of a file size - I don't think they would have too much of an effect on your computer. (you're looking at kbs) What would you like to know about fonts? Here's a tutorial that might help with installing them, if you're not sure how. A good site to get them from is Dafont. You can get a bunch of free ones there. Regarding the tutorials: I know, the users try to be newbie-friendly when writing them, but my best advice to tell you is just to mess around in Paint.NET until you get a feel for where tools/ whatever else are. If you look under the Newbie Playground section of the Tutorials section, you should definitely get a good start on get oriented with Paint.NET. Nab P.S. Oh - and try not to discredit others by calling their art yours Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish.

007 Nab Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Oh, ok, I thought you just ripped their pic :oops: Well, fonts aren't very complicated to learn, as far as I can tell. Different fonts convey different moods. A font like this, personally, denotes a classy feel http://www.dafont.com/chopin-script.font While a font like this is much grungier and dirty http://www.dafont.com/district.font You use fonts to convey different moods and styles. Pretty basic, right? Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish. PDN Gallery | I Made a Deviant Art!

TopHATslash Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hey chris welcome to the forum. I see that nab has answered most of your questions. I would like to quickly say that you should save your work as .png. It holds the best quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, So I've heard, LoL, But, I seen the quality with .Gif, and .PNG, There is a huge difference, Thats what I'm gonna start doing from now on.. Quote The post above probably has crappy art..

TopHATslash Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yeah man it will help a lot. Be sure to hold shift when resizing your cut outs. I bet nab already said that though. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007 Nab Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Maintains the pixel aspect ratio. This way, your image that is being resized keeps its dimensions. Try it out - you'll see.
