Dr. D Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ok this may be a simple thing to you guys, but I am fairly new to this. I have searched for the answer and was unable to find it so I decided I might as well post . Ok when I am trying to make a sig and I add more layers the bottom layer fades away a bit. Here's an example: 1st layer: Ok now I add the second layer with another gradient: See how after the second layer, the first layer is faded away a bunch. I want the first layer to be just as bright as the second... Here's an example of a completed sig where the render and the background faded and made me a bit mad... So I'm just wondering if there is any solution to this whether it is simply right under my nose or if it is a plug in. It seems when I look at sigs made by other people this never happens so I assume there has got to be a way to stop it. Thanks! -Dr. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornipsus Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Try decreasing the opacity on the top layer. Quote The God of Judgement is not pleased... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. D Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 That is what I've done before but it just causes both of the layers to be about equally faded (just a little less than before). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 What are your primary and secondary colors set to? Are changing the blending mode for the top layer? The first gradient you did looks like a Linear Gradient :LinearGradient: and the second looks like a Reflected Linear Gradient . Also, remember that, until you finalize it, the gradient can be edited by moving the little nubs around.

Dr. D Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yes you are right about the :LinearGradient: and On the 1st backround layer ( :LinearGradient: ), the colors are set to: Primary = black and Secondary = white On the second layer they are set to: Primary = black and Secondary = white transparent And no I didnt manualy change the blending mode for the top layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Try the Additive blend mode. Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. D Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ok I tried that, and it didn't work but then as I was going back to normal, I accidently clicked on multiply, and it changed everything back to normal! So my problem is now solved! Thanks so much for helping me guys. You can lock or delete this post or whatever if you want to.
