Jonelmeier Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Isn't there a possibility to do this with Paint.NET? I search the Forum, but didn't find an answer wich was helpful to me... Rick Brewster said, that this is possible with Codelab, but I'm not good enough in programming to do this on my own. Isn't there somebody who had the same problem, who could send me his Code for Codelab? That would be great...

DenDem Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 How do you want to make this fade to transparency? Do you want it on the edges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uneyed Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 If you are trying to make a photo transparent overall there is a way. Go into Layer Properties and there is a transparency adjustment bar there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into Layer Properties and there is a transparency adjustment bar there. Here is a picture that I created using that feature and serveral different pictures on different layers.

SearedIce Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I will write the code later today if no one else provides a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDem Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I just don't understand what does he want ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SearedIce Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 He wants an image to be 100% opaque on the top, and 100% transparent on the bottom. I can't think of any reasonable way to do this without an effect script. I will write the code as soon as I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDem Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 O.k think that it'll help: 1) choose your image 2) add one more blank layer BELOW the image 3) Fill the higher half of the blank image with white colour 4) Apply Motion Blur DOWN at 90' with the desired value on white 5) You will get Fade from white to blank 6) Add one more image( any image) BELOW the white gradient 7) The highest image - is your desired image , that you want to do half transparent , so choose in BLENDING MODE ---> MULTIPLY 8) TA-DAAAAAA I hope that will help.

Jonelmeier Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 @DenDem Thanks for your help, but the result doesn't look like I want it to. The lowerest Part of the Picture i want to fade out, isn't 100% transparent, i think the gradient only fades to 70% transerence... I tryied to put a solid transparent part in the "2nd Layer", but this part is only 70% transpartent too... @SearedIce So, if you really could write the code for me that would be pretty cool!!! Thanks a lot!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 The issue is that there is currently no way in Paint.NET to transform the alpha channel of an image in the way that Jonelmeier wants. (except with C# code in CodeLab -- hardly a robust solution) What he wants is a layer mask. Basically it would be another layer contained within the layer he is editing which would then be used to transform the alpha channel of the color portion of the layer. This way you could draw a gradient on the mask using the method of your choice, and it would then be combined into the regular part of the layer and it would fade to transparent. This is something I'm hoping to implement for the next major release of Paint.NET. Just don't hold your breath, these things take a lot of time.

SearedIce Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Rick, you just posted twice, BTW. I spent some time on Codelab and I've reached a programming block. I looked over my code many many many times, but I cannot figure out what is wrong. I will probably be able to fix it for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 What in the world is up with the forums today ... last time it posted it 5 times in response to 1 click.

SearedIce Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Read the following link. I got the effect script working with Rick's help: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
