Goonfella Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I am attempting this PS tutorial - http://www.adobetutorialz.com/articles/ ... with-stars But it uses a `Shear' tool in the program to get the curve of the coloured band. I was just wondering which one in PDN would do the same. I have tried sine waves without success and also the waves effect plug in. But neither will give the required effect. BTW - I eventually managed to get the curve using Sine Waves but had to rotate the bar through 90 degrees first but it is still not exactly the same as the tut. It really needs a shear tool.

oma Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 you might explore what the difference between a raster style program is as compared to vector. look up both definitions in wikipedia. Photoshop is vector. Paint.net is bit map orientated you've probably done it is one of the easiest methods using Paint.net. there's probably other ways but I've not had a chance to try this tut out. ciao OMA My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I`ll do that. Never knew it would make such a difference, but I guess that`s just my inexperience with computers showing through!

pipp92 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 or you could draw these lines with the line/curve tool, that would take time, but it will be the same outcome Personal Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Try the sine waves plugin. It'll get you close. ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I did get near to what I wanted with Sine Waves as I mentioned in my first post. Just not near enough. I might try drawing it out instead.Thanks anyway. Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
