Repton Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've been fiddling around with it and I can't seem to get a outlined paint dot on Paint.NET 4.0.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Can you show us what you're trying to create? A paint splatter or an outline made up of dots?

Repton Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm trying to just make a outlined dot for a hurricane track I'm making but I keep getting a filled in dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hello Repton, If you want to make a solid outline around an object you may use the Outline Object effect. For this to work, the object has to have a transparent background. If you want to make a solid outline inside a selection you can use BoltBait's Outline Selection effect or TR's Quick Outline. They will give you different results. I do not know how to make an outline with dots or dashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 So far, the only way I know to add dots or dashes (or other shapes) inside a selection is using TR's Paste Frame effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Shapes can be drawn with dotted/dashed borders. 1. Activate the Shapes tool. 2. Select the Shape from the drop down list. 3. Select the Outline option (no fill). 4. Choose your Brush Width. 5. Set the Style to Dotted! 6. Drag out the Shape - it comes with a dotted border. If you want to add texture to the inside of the Shape, set the Fill to one of the preset options.

Thom Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I think what you are looking for is something like the "Paths" tool in GIMP. Does Paint.Net have anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 There is not a built-in paths tool, but midora is working on a plugin for that (see this thread). As EER pointed out, though, for simple applications like this one, there are other ways to get the job done. Like drawing an outlined dot! 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...
