Paint.NET :: Create Rectangular Picture With Curved Corners?
Feb 1, 2011
I want to create a rectangular picture but I want quite pronounced curved corners
I now I can change all the corner pixels to a differant colour ot make them transparent but as I want to do this to lots of pics I am hoping there is an easier way.
I am making another actor into a vampire : How do I create blood dripping out of the corners of my subjects mouth that looks real?
And
Fangs; My subjects mouth is closed how do I make them look real without making them look cartoonish? The fangs I think I just need to play around with the lighting and shading but when it comes to drawing talent I am still a puppy.
My question is how do I create text in a curved line? I have a circular logo which I want to have a curved line of text above and below. I can create the text OK but I can't see how to make it curved.
Suppose I have an image 2000 pixels wide by 1000 pixels high. Pixel (0,0) is at the top left as you view the image. Using the rectangular selection tool, how can I specify an exact area to select? Say, for example, I want to select the area defined by (0,0), (100,0), (100,100) & (0,100), how would I do this?
My CS3 version has suddenly developed round corners to rectangular marquee selections. When I lay out the selected area using the rectangular marquee tool everything looks OK but, when I release the cursor the selected area develops round corners and for instance if I'm cropping something the area affected is incorrect.
I have drawn a rectangular double curved roof (hyperbolic paraboloid). Did that just by adjusting shape handles up and down in diagonally opposite corners.
I want to draw a grid on it mostly as a graphical thing, so its shape is evident. Have tried model lines which won't attach even when grouped.
1.) How do you recommend I model a rectangular spring? 2.) How do I apply the concept from the initial question and apply a curve to the spring? 3.) How do I mimic the properties of a spring in animation?
I have been practicing my modeling technique and decided to create a faceted round gemstone model. I started with a 16 sided cylinder and manipulated the vertices until I had my model. However, it is supposed to be a round gemstone and not one with 16 flat sides. Everything worked as far as creating all of the facets except in the "girdle" area. This is the area that joins the top and bottom halves together and is the only part that is supposed to be round. What I need to do is to make each of the 16 rectangular polygons curved in the horizontal direction and leave them flat in the vertical direction.
I am trying to create two simple rounded corner gif banners for a web page, but can't seem to get the corners "un-jagged". I am by no means an experienced PS user but here is how I go about it:
I create a new image 830X40 pixels to fit my web page, fill it with a gradient fill to match the web page colors and then create another image at 50X50 pixels with 72 ppi resolution. On the latter image I draw an circle on the canvas with the elliptical marquee tool with anti-aliasing checked off and feathering set to 0 and fill it with the foreground color, then I draw a square on 1/4 of the circle with the rectangle marquee tool, copy that and paste it into the 830X40 image as a new layer and move it to its corresponding end. Then I erase just enough of the first layer to get my rounded corner. The process is repeated for the other end switching to background color to match the other end. I then choose "save for web" with all layers visible, and save it as a gif file called "topbanner.gif" with the transparency button checked and no transparancy dither. I then flip the whole canvas and save it again as "bottombanner.gif" with the same settings.
The problem is it looks ok in PS, but when I view the page there is still somewhat jagged edges. (My monitor is set at 1280X960 32 bit color) I have played with the dithering options when saving as a gif, but to no avail. I have also used higher resolutions (eg. 100 ppi) for the circle image but that doesnt seem to help either.
Should I be using image ready to do this? (which I know even less about)
I need to create a smoke affect over a picture. It needs to be transparent. I've tried a few approaches but my brain is having fits trying to figure it out. Google has drawn blanks.
Is there or is it possible to create a plugin to directly upload a picture from within Paint.net to Twitpic, Twitter, Facebook and other kind of social network?
I have a multiple layer image with a background image on one layer. Is there an easy way to round the bottom corners of this one layer? BTW -I'm using CS6.
I opened a .pdf with an image in the middle that I need to print (house plot map). I then cropped that image from the center so I could get it a bit bigger. The first print was almost perfect, but it lost a bit on two corners. I didn't change any settings and now it's only printing one corner of the image on a full page...really big!
I just need the image to scale to the page. Of course I've selected scale to fit media on the print page. It shows the image on the left of the print page and it looks perfect. Using Photoshop CS3 on Win 7.
I love Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have gotten Version 10 lately and I have to say, Adobe does not make certain tasks easy.
All I need is to have my pictures either cropped with rounded corners, or to have the pictures with rounded corners without the background showing. Is this at all possible?
I found an explanation regarding this for PSE 9.0 but when I try it (Layer > Create Clipping Mask), this is grayed out and I cannot use it.
When I highlight a picture with the rectangular marquee button (and the rectangular button on the tool bar at the bottom of the page is highlighted), I only get an oval picture. How do I get the entire picture to use in layers?
I'd like to make a rectangluar pattern of a part that is groove welded into a plate. Inside the pattern command I can select the part but not the weld. How to avoid having to do each weld individually?
I have created a double skin curtain panel family but it cannot be applied to non-rectangular panels. How to create the non-rectangular double skin facade?
How to create a very small DXF file with just a rectangular frame and the words "Missing Proforma"?
I have a VB6 program for producing our loop drawings which modifies a DXF drawing. All works very nicely but sometimes mistakes are made in the database and my routine gets upset. Previously it just reported the error but today I modified it to look for a "blank" dxf file on the network. This works very well but I am aware that if the folder gets renamed my routine won't find the file.
I thought that I could hard code the dxf file into my VB prog but the DXF file I made is VERY big, and I am sure contains a lot more information than is actually necessary for my needs.
