HiDesert Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hi folks, I've been using Paint.NET for a month or two now, and overall I'm very pleased. I've installed a plugin or two, and I'm very happy with the results I'm getting. But one problem is bugging me, and I can't seem to figure out how/if Paint.NET has a way to meet this need. I want to be able to use the clone stamp tool with a soft edge rather than a sharp dividing line. I was thinking this might be doable with a custom brush, but after a bit more reading, I don't think it can. Is there a way to clone with a soft/feathered edge? Thanks!

mountnman Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 you could try with a lower oppacity on your primary color -- adjust to taste or make multiple passes to get where you need Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.

pdnnoob Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I KNOW there was a tutorial on how to do this pinned somewhere earlier...did someone unpin a bunch of tutorials recently?

minners71 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 You could also clone to a new layer and use feather on it then merge down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
