Ash Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Did you look at the Layers window in the lower right? There should be 2 layers showing. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jud@s Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 A new layer is transparent untell you put something on it or do some kind of work on it. What you can do is this... Upload your pic to PDN... add a new layer... chose new primary and secondary colors, black and transparent... now click on your "Gradient" tool (the bluish black box)... now make sure that your tool setting is on "radial"... now click on the part of the picture that you want to be seen clicking on the right mouse button and drag it toards the outer edges. This should give you the effect that you want... after you have the desired effect... open your "image" window, go to the botton and press "flatten". Abracabera... your finished.
