psm1963 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have latest paint.net. I tried to follow the glowing text tutorial. I was unable to use the recolor tool a second time to recolor the text. I ran the repair program and tried the tutorial, this time the recolor worked worked. I open the program later and attempted the tutorial again and now I got the same problem, I select a color and attempt to apply with the recolor tool and nothing happens. I could probably run repairr again and fix it but this is not a solution. Please take a look, a few people are having the same problem on the glowing text tutorial. I know I am not doing something wrong because it worked for me a few times and then did not work Please advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psm1963 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 No Comments from the author. There is defiintely a problem is seems to occur on the second selection to a different color on a newly created layer using the recolor tool. Is anyone else having this problem?

Sarkut Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 psm1963: It sounds like you can reproduce this problem at will. If so, please give some detailed and specific directions on how to do so. Include info on primary and secondary color settings at each step. Links to screenshots showing the process would be helpful. Your second post refers to using the recolor tool on a newly created layer. Usually the term new layer means transparent layer, which would have nothing on it to recolor. In any event, additional explanation would help in trying to reproduce the problem. Also, please include a link to the tutorial you make reference to.

Sarkut Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Okay. That's this tutorial: The tutorial has you set your primary color to white and secondary to black. When you get to the point where you are going to add color to the text, you need to change your primary color to whatever color you want, and change your secondary color to white. If you leave the secondary color set to black it won't recolor the text. When you ran the repair, part of that process was closing and later reopening Paint.NET. Closing and reopening Paint.NET resets the secondary color to default white which allows you to recolor the white text layer in the tutorial. So, I think everything's OK. Cheers.

psm1963 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Thanks for your response. That was the problem, they should make that clear in the tutorial as you have done here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
