PenmanShipp Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 I've been a member of this forum for some time, primarily as a reader, because I'm usually the guy that's learning from you others. But today I wanted to share a sweet little find that satisfied my recent need for an airbrush effect that I'm certain some of you will agree is highly useful. I love Paint.Net and use it for every project I work on. But I recently had a project come up that required a LOT of airbrush and pencil-like effects. No other way around it. I did not want to buckle down and go with any other program now that I'm so familiar with this one. What to do? Well I'd had a free version of ArtRage 2.5 that does some really sweet painting effects. Its airbrush and several other features are only enabled in the paid version. I figured heck, it's $25.00 and I need to at least try. Was I ever surprised. Not only did the airbrush prove to be superbly accurate but I found YOU CAN WORK YOUR LAYERS BACK AND FORTH as PNGs, between Paint and ArtRage, with no problems at all !http://raoulwidman.wordpress.com/ So don't get me wrong here, Paint.Net rocks and it's my chief tool. But this means you don't have to keep bugging Rick Brewster about brushes. Definitely worth the 25 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenmanShipp Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi ! Thanks. (I am guessing you mean search in the application's "Paint.Net Search.." selection in the Help dialog.? When I do I see numerous forum threads on the topic. Hmm. Though I'm fairly proficient now in navigating these applications I am in no way a code geek. So while I can manage to install plugins, I certainly couldn't write or hack one ! That seems to be yet up an out there in the realm of the uber-geek. Right now I'm using the WACOM Medium Bamboo Fun tablet. One of the programmable buttons shown instantly switches you between applications, so that's what I currently use.

Ash Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Your point? Starting to seem like ad for ArtRage...... In any case, I bet Artweaver can do about the same for free.

oma Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 yes and I'm sure if I took the time I could get something similar to most of those examples done in paint.net . Granted they may not be one push one button but do able. Perhaps stick around a bit longer and learn to really push the limits of paint.net. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
