aatwo Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 It's a very clear image. You must have a very dull monitor if you didnt notice it. Deviant Art Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The background looks black to me. After changing the settings on my monitor, I can see it. But, yeah, way too dark.

Rick Brewster Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I can see the background, but it's extremely dark. There's just way too much contrast between foreground and background.

Leif Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Just saved it, and did an auto level. Way better background. There are obviously great details in the background. I se no problem making it even brighter. But the two pictures you used are good. And the combination of the two is great.

A_Pickle Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 This kinda reminds me of "Back to the Future". It'd be kinda ironic if that guy ended up disappearing off the face of the earth...

barkbark00 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Nice Jake. looks kinda similar to something I was workin' on last night....I was trying to reproduce the Vista Log on screen, but just ended up looking like a bunch on blurred lines and stuff...But that Sig looks nice and simple.  Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roaddawg Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hi I am new to this program and forum... and must say this program will do almost anything I need This was done with PaintdotNet 2.xx and DXTBMP saved as dxt1 ( for frame rate) edit = hosting problems I have now updated to Paint.Net v3.0 (Alpha1) with which I did the frame and edited this picture. Thank you for such a great program. Cheers Roaddawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Did you drew the logo on the tail? No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roaddawg Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Did you drew the logo on the tail? Hi Bob No....This is what I did I had the logo at 150 x 150 in jpg on a white background.I used the crop and brought it down to 123 x 122 (trial and error) and saved to jpg....I opened it in Paint.Net in its own window and than I opened the Aircraft in another window of Paint.Net and used the copy in the Logo window and paste in the Aircraft window, pulled it off the white background and moved it to where I wanted it.I then flipped the Logo and did the otherside of the Aircraft. I find it much easier to make a logo and do it this way then to draw it directly on the aircraft.My reason is all the other work I have completed on the aircraft texture will not be ruined by having to redo them because i flubbed the logo trying to draw it directly...I hope this makes sense to you. Do you paint aircraft for flightsim also? cheers Thank you Trickman for the warm welcome glad to be here Cheers Roaddawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire010 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Very nice plane! Giving my some inspiration to do something once I reinstall all my bloody potato... My computer crashed and I had to reformat it... blah blah blah... Anywho, I think I'm going to get a picture of a model something and color it with PDN.

Bob Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yeah what I mean is did you draw it or copy from someone else, cause it's well done! But if I were you I save it to PNG instead of JPG. No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westrock Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Post Process 4 layers. Changes include, B&W, Hue/Saturation. Gradient, Clouds & Glow. Original I didn't crop very well as the "XAS 3" looks odd, it should say "TEXAS 3", not a big deal, just a picky thing. All in all I just wanted to play with the Gradient and Clouds. BTW, you guys doing the actual drawning, are you using a tablet? Its pretty hard to sculpt a selection area with a mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'd suggest cropping it further to put more emphasis on the car, but heck yes BoltBait that's an excellent idea.

barkbark00 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 ^Clickable^ BG I just made. I started out drawing some Grads and messing with the blending methods and I got a cool "x-ray effect". messed around some more and that is what I got... Ps. "merge down" and the new gradient in 3.0 alpha 2 ROCK!!!  Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 BTW, you guys doing the actual drawning, are you using a tablet? Its pretty hard to sculpt a selection area with a mouse I do have a tablet and it helps a lot once getting accustomed to it but I almost never use lasso for selection. Porting my usual way of cropping non-boxy objects from a background to Paint.NET might be as follows: [*:72299]Make a new layer on top of it[*:72299]Draw an outline of the car with the brush[*:72299]Refine it with brush and eraser until it matches the car as exactly as possible[*:72299]Use magic wand to turn the interior of the outline into a selection (You may have noticed that this is actually a layer mask approach without layer masks ) Might be easier than to to this with lasso; though PdN's lasso actually gives more useful visual feedback than in most other programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
