Hello Kitty Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hey guys! I'm having a bit of an issue with using layers. I'm not new to Paint.net, but this is the first time I've ever tried to use layers. Thanks to a few tutorials, I've gotten the two pictures I'm trying to merge to this point: Now, before you attack, yes, I did multiple searches for help with this issue. I couldn't find anything that directly helps with this problem. My question is, how do I get the edges of the drawing of the girl to blend in with the rose in the background? I've read about a "feather" or "blur" effect, but have no clue what these are, where to get them, or how to use them to solve my problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Mike Ryan Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Well, first I recommend removing that image. Second, I recommend using Feather. Feather is a plugin, if you are unsure of how to install plugins read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Yes, the one with the naked female. I can gurantee one of our moderators will send you to 'banhammer and modville' if you leave it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Kitty Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Wow, that's funny because this is a doll from a kids website. She's set up anatomically to be identical to Barbie, so obviously she doesn't have "descriptive" parts. But, thanks for letting me know. Hopefully with my edit job people will still be able to get an idea of what I'm talking about without being offended...if anyone could actually get offended by that.

Ash Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Mike answered your question for you. Follow the link. And I've removed the image for you. You could've used another image for your smaple. Edit: After you have feather plugin. Add new layer, paste the subject on the new layer. Use feather.

Hello Kitty Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Are you freaking kidding me? What age are you people living in, it's from a KIDS website for crying out loud. She looks just like Barbie, she has absolutely no naughty parts what-so-ever. Besides, she has clothes on now, and I see no point in deleting my image. This is the first time I've ever posted here, I read the rules, I did several searches, and this is how you treat me? Lovely. Yeah, if I have any more questions about using Paint.net, I'd rather figure it out myself than have to deal with people who are completely unwelcoming and rude. Apparently the "Don't bite the Newbies" rule isn't implemented. Wow, I will never be back here. What warm, kind people you two are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi there Hello Kitty, our forums are intended to be family friend and as that the members that answered your question just kept in mind that idea, because that image, being from a toy for kids or not, is indeed suggestive if you get my drift... And so their concern was only that, we do approve you for reading the rules and to do your best to keep by them, but there are always shady areas on this where some thing might be out-of-the-rules for some people and for others might not... Personally I don't think that image is much of a big deal now, but that will be to the mods o remove it or not... Please do not leave our forums, we truly have your best interests at heart [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Also, besides feather I suggest experimenting with blend modes as this may make it look more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 :shock: Yeah... I was heart achingly crule I have a lot to say, but I understand the meaning of family friendly. Moderators I request this thread get locked because I may not resist the urge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Yeah, enforcing strict rules is mean. @Mike: Exactly what I was just thinking. :-P The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
