magicpez Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I would like to take a landscape photo and add a transparent image of a rainbow over it. I created the rainbow but, now I need to know how to make it transparent. Can anyone point me in the right direction? THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 so when you made that rainbow did you make it as a .png image. in other words just the rainbow with a transparent background? if so load your landscape add the rainbow .png layer > import from file. double clik in the layers window and change the opacity. if that's not what you mean let us know. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 you will often hear them called blend modes. take care when using that form of making some items semi transparent. with merging down layers sometimes makes thm opacity 100% again. under image>flatten image is what you should use in this case. The best method is actually to use the transparency plugin in BoltBaits pkg. I suggest if you haven't downloaded his pkg it should be one of the first plugin pkgs. you get. As you are only working with two layers flattening in this case is quickest and easiest to explain. Have fun with using Paint.net. and welcome to the forum. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
