Macro_Pheliac Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 The color I.D. (rename it if you want, what i came up with for a name was horrible) my idea is just a crosshair-like tool that will match the color of the pixel you select in any image, and place it to that color on the color wheel. I think this will be a great time-saver for people working on large projects, because it takes awhile to find the same colors when coming back to a project, this feature would be most usefull. Second feature is the ability to use bitmap(or maybe even jpegs or gifs)as font coloring. This function has been in MS office, and It would really give the ability to make fonts that stand out.

barkbark00 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 #2 is very good. I think the "eyedropper" could be used for your first request... Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macro_Pheliac Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 #2 is very good.I think the "eyedropper" could be used for your first request... Where is this "eyedropper" of which you speak? Is it something in v3.0? I'm still using v2.7. Clone stamp almost does the job, but I still think there should be an option to match on color wheel for a particular pixel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyedropper, next to the pencil tool, shortcut = Capital E. I don't clearly understand 2, but I guess you can use the alpha mask plugin...

Macro_Pheliac Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 ohh, thanks, the description that they gave for the eyedropper didn't make it sound to work the way I wanted, and they just happened to call it a "Color Picker" Now if you want to understand #2, Microsoft Powerpoint gives an option to use a bitmap image to color your fonts as opposed to just one or two hand-picked colors, allowing you to do some creative text. As far as I know, photoshop has an option like this with an odd name, I think this would be a great feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickman Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 you can use the alpha mask plugin to do #2. 1. Create a black background. 2. Put white text on it. 3. Save. 4. Go to the bitmap image 5. Apply Alpha Mask plugin with the file created in the first 3 steps. 6. TCHAA-DAA xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Paint.NET can't yet do custom brushes like it looks like you want. But with Paint.NET the key word is almost always "yet."

RaveN Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 this is actually very easy, all it requires is the photo flood fill plugin. 1 Make your text 2 Magic wand the text, and hold down shift to select all of it, or ctrl to select specific letters 3 Then photo flood fill with the image you want and you got your text the way you want it.
