dstone Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 hi I have the latest version of paint.net and need to know how to fade a picture so that it can barely be seen. I've searched the forums for fade but couldn't find anything that worked. I opened layer properties and slid the bar to fade the image that way but when I saved it it reverted to its original look. So I am hoping someone knows how to simply fade a picture almost to white. Thank you for any ideas you may have . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illnab1024 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 2 Methods: The way you tried, you should have saved as .png You can also adjust Brightness/Contrast (Ctrl+Shift+C), and play around with the sliders. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbery Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Here are some opaque french fries. I just adjusted the opacity and saved it as a .gif. I really don't know what that is, but it worked so I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstone Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thanks to both of you for your helpful tips. Although I couldn't find the opacity tool after a long search? I found another way to fade too!! Open a picture then click layers/adjustments/hue/saturation, and then slide the 'lightness' bar across till you get the effect you want. Saving as gif or png worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 To change the Opacity, double-click on the name of the layer. A dialog will pop up, and the Opacity slider is in there.

teotanato Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I generaly Change the opacity, then i add a new layer, put it behind the layer were the image is and on the layer thet is empty you use the rectangle tool and paint all white, then you may save it as BMP or JPEG or whatever you want =D (sorry if someone already said it, if this is the hardest way, or if no one understood what i said =P....but that's how i do it, i havent read all the posts and sometimes my keyboard stays strange =/) I just read someone's post (forgot his poste xD) and sometimes i use curves for that or even Brightness/Crontast =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
