yy10 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 you don't need a mod to answer this. just open up the image, and then colour it. for that star you did, you just out lined it. You can easily do that with the outline object plug in. Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laertes Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 thanks for taking the time to reply so soon. I have this plug in in paint.net but I am unable to make it work as I would like. If I apply outline to the image all the image is effected, I just want to add an external thick white line. The image I am trying to add an outline to is quite more complicated then the star, If you say I can do that with "outline" plug-in, this is gr8!..- how do I do that? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yy10 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 make the Softness of the outline higher. there you go! Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laertes Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 on my outline I only have "Thickness" and "Intensity" parameters. I tried playing with them but not reaching the result. also I am not quite sure how the colour works, regardless of the colour I select it seems to be only black.. this is what I get: the image (logo of my band :wink: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yy10 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 that's not Outline Object. That's outline. go downlaod Outline Object instead. Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laertes Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 when you are right, you are right!!!!!!!!!!! I downloaded the file, and dropped a bunch of DLL files in the directory "C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects" as prompted by the readme file. launched Paint.net go under Effect and.... don't see anything... felling dumb now.. :?

laertes Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 GOT IT!!!! I thought it may have something to do with paint.net, infact I was running an older version, after updating I can see all the new plug ins!! COOL! still unable to make it work... I made a green box, selected the object, applied "outline object" selected red colour, changed width and nothing happens.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laertes Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 ok, got, it for real this time, if you select the image nothing happens but if you apply the effect on the whole thing then it works... wired... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you "select" something you are only able to do stuff inside the selection. So, if you want to outline the object you mustn't select it, just draw it on a new layer and use the plugin. No selecting required. It's good that you updated, though.
