FissionMetroid101 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I was wondering if Paint.NET could add an alpha layer selection for advanced editors. Because I've been looking for a program that includes alpha layer editing without having to buy it I thought Paint.NET could add it... Or does it already have it?

toe_head2001 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but Paint.NET supports the alpha channel. Expand the color window, and you'll see the control for it. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

FissionMetroid101 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Here's an example of a picture with just RGB: This is it's Alpha layer: In a game like TF2 there are sprays which are imported pictures you can put onto the walls, and it reads alpha layers. A normal untouched alpha layer is all white, showing the whole thing ingame. But if there's black in it, it doesn't appear, giving it a transparent look.

david.atwell Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ahh, you're asking about adjustment layers. That's actually in the popular feature requests, and something Rick wants to implement.

Crazy Man Dan Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Paint.NET does have full Alpha-channel support, but it does not have a native way to edit the Alpha channel directly. It can, however, edit the layer's Alpha channel with the help of certain plugins, such as the Alpha Mask Importer (which it seems pyro beat me to ). Even if you'd rather have direct control, though, you still don't necessarily have to buy anything - check out a program called The GIMP. It's user interface is a bit messy, but it does have full support for individual channel editing.
