How to directly Edit the 'Blue Channel' in a image? Im trying to make a image for a game, and the blue channel dictates how much parts of the image will glow when Bloom render is active.
View 6 RepliesIs paint.net v4.0 still promising color and alpha channel editing / masking?
Â
I'm sure I read this in the roadmap feature list years ago, though I can't find the place to reference it. In fact this is my favorite anticipated feature for which I've been checking paint.net every month for the last five years!
Â
I eagerly downloaded the 4.0alpha but see no sign of color channels to go with layers
How do I take say the black and white version of an image and use the final grey scale value as the alpha value for that pixel on the original? Is this possible to do easily?
Â
If not, what's the hard way?
I'm experimenting with a digital IR camera. Â The images are very "magenta" in color and everyone states to simply "swap the Red and Blue" color channels. Â How can this be done in Paint.net? Â Is there a plugin that would process IR color pictures?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was simply wondering the best means in Paint.Net to use a black and white image and use it as the alpha channel of my image, with white being opaque and black being fully transparent. I looked through the plugins on the site and didn't see anything that seemed to resemble what I was after.

I am shooting Infrared pictures and I already missed the channel mix function in LR3. Now I saw in the video of LR4 Beta that now the channels can be modified individually but I miss a channel mix function.
Â
Is it possible with LR4 to flip red and blue channel, like it is needed for color Infraed photography, or do I still need to work with PS or PSE ?
i have 1000 eps files to work with and i dont have the time to go to each one and change the color from blue to black! all are different shapes so i need a batch command that will keep the white, white and change any other color to black!
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince installing X3 I edit an image ... save and then try to open another image and the program freezes ... everytime. I have to end the process and restart the application. Never had this problem with Paint Shop Pro previous versions. I'm very close to uninstalling and asking for a refund. The install and patches ran fine. Running on XP SP3 ... 3+GHz machine with 4 MB RAM ... Dual Core.
There is no error message. I can see the progam in task manager using 25% CPU with memory usage climbing. I've waiting several minutes and the program does not return.
Once I create an alpha channel, how do I edit it? I have tried selecting and clicking the alpha channel, and then using the paintbrush tool. I understand that if I have a white foreground, painting should remove some of the mask, while a black background should result in the painting adding to the mask. But often nothing seems to happen when I paint. Or, at other times, the painting results in paint marks on my image but doesn't affect the "marching ants" and therefore doesn't affect the mask. I have already checked that my K setting in Color is at 0 for white and 100 for black. Using CS5 version 13.0 x64 with Windows 7.Â
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a mean to edit (not create and then edit) an already existing alpha channel in a PNG file (for example). Here is the scenario: load a PNG file with a existing transparency layer created with some other application ( I see the usual checker board behind some transparent regions of the image)select a region ( lasso, rectangle, ....)change the transparency (alpha) of those pixels only, do not change anything else in the reste of the image (ex: make a region more transparent or more opaque). I do not want to edit the RGB content of the pixels, I want to edit their alpha value directly.save back the file to a PNG file with modified alpha value.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to directly edit the alpha channel? I need to edit it for a 3D model I've made, and its showing up as too shiney (The engine is looking at the alpha for reflectivity).

I've made a short animation that I want to use in my video project created in Final Cut Pro.
I need the video to have an Alpha Channel.

View 8 Replies View RelatedFor years I've been using various image editors, often in combination. That is, I do simple stuff as copy / paste and repositioning of elements in one editor and subsequently open the image in a more advanced editor for proper paintwork. Currently I'm using the Gimp for the latter. Color layers work brilliantly. However, I have big problems with my alpha channel--I've found no way to edit it within Gimp and I've found no way to import a revised version that I've edited in another image editor. There must be solutions to both challenges.
The editing I require is piece-of-cake in basic image editors--I simply want to move a transparent region a bit to the left. That should be a simple rectangle selection and then shoving it (mouse or arrow keys) to where I want it. Alternatively I could import my edited alpha channel image as I'm used to doing in other editors. Well, the Gimp will accept the image as a layer all right but I haven't succeeded in making the Gimp import my grayscale image as an alpha channel. I get a grayscale non-transparent layer instead.
So, I've got a perfectly good alpha channel that needs a minor tweak. It loads as intended in Gimp. How to perform basic editing of this alpha channel layer or tell me how to import a revised version and tell Gimp that this image should be interpreted as an alpha channel?
I finished editing my panorama in adobe photoshop elements 11 and want to add a filter to it, however, the filters are all greyed out. Not only that, but the 8bit/channel option is also greyed out. The picture is RGB/8.

This bit will only make sense to 3D modelers. I have 3D model that I'm importing into a the Unity 3D game engine. One of the material shaders makes use of specularity maps. Normally the specularity map would reside in the alpha channel of the RGBA diffuse image, but due to file sizes, all these are released as separate jpegs. The idea is to make some parts of the 3D model more glossy as far as I know. The only way to do this is to add this specular image to the alpha channel of the diffuse image, and then the game engine can work its magic, making the skin look realistic.
I have an image I want to edit. It is a png tileset for a game, with opaque icons with semi-transparent background (yep the result in game is just as annoying as it sounds).
I'm not satisfied with background and want to make it more transparent (or maybe completely transparent). How do I do that?
There are adjustment tools in PDN that can modify separate channels; AFAIK alpha is technically identical to color channels but these tools only let me edit RGB.
how to specify a layer as alpha mask either.
Is there anyway at this point in time to load a DDS file with alpha set to something other than 100%, alter the alpha channel, and save it back out again?
My situation is this. I'm currently working on a module for a game called Mount and Blade Warband and have created quite a few textures using Paint.net and never had any issues previously with any textures I've created and saved as DDS. However recently I found a texture file that I need to replace with my own version which has it's alpha channel set to something other than 100%. It's used to blend with another texture to give an aged appearance to hair.
Now this texture when loaded into Paint.net appears as a mostly transparent texture, which I cannot make any darker using the layer transparency slider which is set to maximum. i.e. The texture is loaded and displayed with transparency on, but the layer transparency slider in Paint.net is set at maximum opacity as if there is no transparency -- so the only thing I can do is make it even more transparent rather than make it darker. So when I tried to make my replacement for this particular file I created my texture, set transparency for the layer to about 20%, then saved as a DDS file -- however when I load it into the BRF game editor it displays as a completely black texture, while the original file displays fine.
EDIT: Also does it actually create mipmaps when you ask it to when saving? I just noticed that my textures don't seem to have them.
I should point out that while I'm very experienced with programming, 2D etc. I'm pretty new to 3D programming (not that I'm doing so on this project of course -- thought it might be easier working out how to create 3D objects while using someone elses engine to start with) and 3D object creation -- so things like DDS texture formats still create a lot of head scratching.
Can you choose the type of Alpha channel that Paint.NET saves? Premultiplied or non-premultiplied/straight?
Otherwise, what is the type of alpha channel that Paint.NET saves by default?
In photoshop there is a tab beside the layers tab, that allows you to add a shaded alpha channel to a .dds file.
I need to add a black alpha channel to a .dds file.
I've tried every alpha pluggin I can find but cannot replicate this effect.
And if I open a .dds file created in photoshop with a black alpha channel it is completely invisible in paint.net.
Why is it completely invisible in paint.net but not in photoshop?
How can I add a black alpha channel to a .dds file in paint.net?
If I have two images, one is a texture map and the other is a normal map, how do I essentially paste the normal map into the alpha channel?
The stuff I am importing into (OpenSimulator) uses a single image to put texture and normal map information onto an object but so far I can't see anywhere to create the alpha channel.

I am not using the alpha channel for transparency, which seems to be a source of confusion (elsewhere). The thing is I CAN use it for that (transparency I mean) simply by making part of my image transparent (This is splendid by the way, and is yet another reason why I adore Paint.Net), this implies to me there are alpha channels or that the transparency thing is something different.
