moccor Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) I used Paint.NET modify a keyboard theme for my android phone. The end result of the keyboard is I changed it from Purple and blue, to red and orange, but that was just editing the hue/saturation and brightness/contrast. What I need help with, is making that same effect, but applying it to other things... This is how the image looks up very close unchanged. Is it possible to recreate the above image easily? P.s. I know the keyboard looks weird with blue letters, I haven't figured out how to edit that color yet..

mountnman Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 maybe... select the object, add a new layer, run outling object in desired colour, run guasian blur(maybe glow), add transparent gradient? others here can probably do it faster and easier Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.

yellowman Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 To draw up the pixel shape, use Pencil, five pixels with blue then reduce the opacity to about half and paint the other pixels Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moccor Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Your both awesome, thanks a lot, I appreciate it. I will use yellowman's method because it is much easier for me to understand, beings I don't know much about Paint.NET haha. But nonetheless thanks, I'll see what I can do with it. I definitely wanna make a dialer though with that neon effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moccor Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 To draw up the pixel shape, use Pencil, five pixels with blue then reduce the opacity to about half and paint the other pixels I'm stuck at your last step. I'm not understanding how all that blur happens haha. Could you please explain step 4 more for me. I set the blend mode and blur, but from there I'm lost.

pdnnoob Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) did you make sure to duplicate the layer first? the blend mode and blur should be on the top layer EDIT: yellowman y u so fast!? lol Edited September 10, 2011 by pdnnoob Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich. It's the filling that can change your experience of the sandwich. ~Ego Eram Reputo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moccor Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 OK, check this video of the method : Thanks so much. I honestly did not think someone would go out of their way to do something like a video explaining how to do something, it is greatly appreciated. If I ever do make like a full android theme, I will give credit to you for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
