barkbark00 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 In most graphics programs that is done by using layer masks. To accomplish this in PdN you either need to make do with transparent gradients or hunker down and get an intimate knowledge of the Alpha mask import plugin and its many uses. For a tutorial on transparent gradients click here: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2756 For a tutorial on the Alpha mask import plugin click here: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=5276 P.s. laughs at use of "hunker down"...

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Too lazy to find the Feather plugin!? It's one of the stickied ones! http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2498 Alternately, you could use a blurred rounded rectangle as a mask. I'll describe the process further if you're interested.
