ValGal Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I don't know what everything is called yet because it's been a while since I've used photo editing software. But I selected part of one picture with the ellipse select tool, then copied and pasted it into another picture. How do I make a blue around it? Just to make it look nicer? Hope I worded that question well. Let me know if you can. Thanks! PS, should I always use the ellipse tool?

Sozo Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Firstly, please refrain from using generic titles (i.e. "HELP"), be a bit more specific (i.e. "Copy and Paste Problem", etc.). And I'm not sure I understand the question, what is this "blue" you want around what? Do you want a border? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I need to type faster... At the time, I though you had wrote 'blur' as it seemed more fitting, although slap me if I'm wrong. So here's my advice for blurring a selection... You can choose a multitude of methods to do this, two of which including, but not restricted to: - feathering -- accomplished by a effect plugin which you can find using Search; and... - Gaussian blurring -- a built-in effect (Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur). For both to work effectively, you must have the new portion of the image (the one to be blurred) on a new layer. If you require help with layers, check the Help Documents on layers here: http://www.getpaint.net/...LayersAndBlendModes.html; http://www.getpaint.net/...LayersWindow.html. Hope this helps. Also, CommanderSozo is correct, the Rules dictate that your topic title be more descriptive, heed his words.

I think blur may have been the intended word. but still: Just kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Wow, is that blood coming from my nose or the raw skin of my slapped face? I'm reaching for a tissue, so must be blood.

cjmcguinness Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 May I suggest the download and installation of the updated Ed Harvey Effects plug-in pack for v3.20. It now includes a Vignette plugin (located in the Photo sub-menu). Could be just what you are looking for. -CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValGal Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Somehow I typed the wrong subject line, becuase I didn't mean to type "how can I make a vignette". It must have been from a previous post i made. Anyway, see the cross that I put in the below picture? The cross is from another picture. I used the ellipse tool and copied and pasted it in. My question is, how can I make the edge of that cross look faded? ... anyone know what I mean? Sorry if it's not too specific but I don't really know what the effect is called.
