Cor'e =) Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Sometimes i want to check or see a layer's alpha settings, but this is invisible right? What is the fastest way to "see" or view it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Nab Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Do you just mean its Opacity? This can be viewed by double clicking the layer itself, accessing the Layer Properties menu. EDIT: And in case you're into hotkeys, F4 would do the trick as well Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I bet hitting F4 is microseconds faster than double clicking :wink: Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cor'e =) Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Ah, not the layer opacity, i mean a view of the layer's alpha value per pixel, i thought there was a way to see the pixels' alpha values? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APShredder Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Try using the AlphaMask Brush plugin. Just open it up and look at the image you get. The more red it is, the more transparent it is. Quote BlendModes Plus | Dissolve | Extract Color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Alpha Map The idea for this plugin came when I was messing around with pdn and I realised that you can't see the alpha channel as well as you can see the red, blue and green channel, so I thought that displaying alpha with a black to white gradient would make alpha much easier to see.

Cor'e =) Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Re: Adjustments>Alpha Map... This plug-in may do it for my desires, it looks the best so far, i'll have to work with it more to see, if so great and thank you all for the assistance here! (Please post any other good/great ways to see the Layer's Alpha as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuentesmith Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi Core, You can refer to the website spam.com. In that website all the content is given related to the layer of alpha settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cor'e =) Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi fuentesmith, i really cannot find the help where you suggested, that link is to a commercial website, (hopefully you're not spamming us - read forum rule #23), can you post a link directly to the help on seeing PDN layer alpha?

fuentesmith Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hi Core, It is the web site for alpha layers. If you do not trust me then just visit that web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cor'e =) Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Okay, i failed to see its relation to PDN though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
