problems with alpha

[darkmelody]

I' m not sure if it's my computer or if it just suppose to be like that but when I use alpha with the paint brush it always turns out kind of blochy. it works quite well when I use alpha with the different shape and line drawers

please tell me if this is suppose to happen and if it's not, how to fix it. Thanks

That is just a limitation of the current 'brush system'...no bug.

Upgrades are planned for the future (4.xx?). Just check out the roadmap...

This is a known behaviour, there is nothing wrong on your side.

You can get around this issue by changing the paint brush blending mode to "overwrite".

It is located at the end of the tool bar and looks like this: :OverwriteBlending:

Noooo! Never use Overwrite... ever! Unless the situation calls for. But in this case, it doesn't.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a new layer

2. Make your brush strokes in full opacity (no alpha)

3. Go to Layer Properties and adjust the layer's Opacity from there

It's the easiest (and almost the only) way to make perfect alpha valued brush strokes in Paint.NET.

thanks for the help everyone! :wink:

thankyou usedHONDA ^^ but I can't use this method because I mainly draw on Paint and I want to use alpha for shading

What do you mean? You can do it that way, it would work just fine. Unless I'm misunderstanding...
