HITMAN-X- Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I not sure what your looking for. Do you want to crop the image so that when croped it edges are faded ? or Do you want to crop it so the faded edges are gone ? Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Try putting your image on a new layer with a white layer behind it. Crop the edges to the shape you want, then use the feather plugin to make the edges transparent. That would be the simplest way; there are other ways. Hope this helps! :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

HITMAN-X- Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Try what david.atwell said and you may also want to look at some tutorials on fading. Thing is you can't do a crop and fade. I know that sucks but Paint.NET just does not have one at the time. I my self used to use crop and fade a lot with another editor. Used to let me pick to crop with fading and how much fading to do.

Crazy Man Dan Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I has the solution! You will need two effects for this one, both written by the lovely and talented BoltBait: :wink: Transparency Adjustment Channel Blur If you need instructions on how to install them, read this tutorial. Once them's installed, restart Paint.NET so they'll show up in Paint.NET. Open your image, and select the area you want to keep with the Ellipse Select tool. Press [Ctrl]+ to invert the selection and use the Transparency (Adjustments -> Transparency) filter, setting the slider to 0. This will make the pixels invisible but preserve their color information. Press [Ctrl]+[D] to deselect. Open the Channel Blur (Effects -> Blurs -> Gaussian Blur Channel) plugin. Set the top slider to Alpha and adjust the bottom slider to taste. And there you have it! That will mush around the opaque section of the layer, revealing fading bits of the original image. I hope that helps! Cheers.

HITMAN-X- Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 CMD you what what you must do now right ? Suck up more to BoltBait (just joking). I was going to say you should do this up as a tutorial for others :wink:. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
