I originally thought I would revert to IE 8, I thought it was because I had switched to IE 10. But I did find someone who blamed it on IE 8, so at this point IE is no longer my default browser.Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on my home computer with IE 10. often when I click on a video or a link on a web page, the attached jpeg comes up, the window turns black and I have to use Task Mgr to kill IE. So until I get to the bottom of this FF is my browser.Is it malware or a virus? MSE and Malwarebytes Pro up to date and frequent scans.
I intend to make a signature to be inserted in digital documents. I signed in a paper and scanned that. The resulting image (attached) has a "paper color/texture" background I would like to remove, maintaining the blue ink from pen and black ink from computer character.
I have a lava texture and a ground texture. I'd like to be able to make some cracks on the ground texture that would show through the lava texture below it. Something like a cracked mud look. I would be using this for a game I'm making form some terrain textures. Are there any plugins that would aid in making these transparent cracks and perhaps even add depth to the cracks?
I guess a spider web where the spider was on crack would be something I'm looking for. Similar to the following image:
Just came upon an error I had not seen before. Though PSP no longer supports Animation Shop, up until PSP X4, the user has been able to export frames back to PSP from Animation Shop. Now, this no longer works! There's still some communication there, because an error message - which, incidentally, makes absolutely no sense at all - is generated in PSP X4:
I installed PSP X4 today on a new PC with Windows 7 and noticed that it has no Animation Shop. Can I install Animation Shop to this machine? Will it work without PSP 9 or does it need certain dlls from PSP 9 ? I really want to be able to use Animation Shop again.
What i would like to do is add a background texture to an image that already has color without the texture pictures color taking over, how can this be done?
I am using an apply texture plugin, but once again it applies the texture and the color of the picture , all i want is the texture.
I recently ran across some nice textures on the Brusheezy site, which then led me to google whether or not I could add these textures to my PDN. What I found was a custom texture .dll listed at this site [URL]...... that says it will allow the loading of PS textures in to PDN. Does it work, and do those of you who created and run PDN recommend using it?
How can I make an object "paint" the texture on another object? Examples of usage are footprints, bullet holes, scratches, skid marks, a pen drawing, etc. I couldn't find anything about this on the web.
I'm trying to make a texture for a build in second life and the item came with a premade shadow map texture.. I want to merge it to a texture I will create in paint but I don't know how. I thought maybe there was a plug in for it but I cant find any information on the web.
I need to create a day night texture for use in FSX (Flight Simulator X). This is as far as I can get - lack of knowledge main reason!! In picture 1, I made a 64 x 64 pixel canvas. After putting the border around it, I used the magic wand on the inside and used the Alpha mask. Then I made a duplicate layer as seen in picture 2 and made a light brown tint.
Then I used the flatten. But now I need a light to shine thru the window pane for a night effect. How would I do this? Would I use the Effect\Photo\Glow? How would I save the completed image as a _LM image?
I can make textures (grass, rock, etc.) purely out of renders/effects, meaning that I can make them as big as I want. How would I go about making these textures seamless?
I need to texture an object and selected the parts I want to texture, but I need to copy+paste a texture into it. Meaning, I select an area, I copy+paste into the area without a giant square of texture covering everything up.
I have an old photograph. The print is not in good shape, it looks like an old oil painting with cracks all over the place. It looks bit like a jigsaw. I have to zoom in quite far and when I do, I can, if I wish, select a small area that is homogeneous. The area is a coat, so it's sort of a cloth texture. Now, to my way of thinking, I wish I could select this small area and the select paintbrush which would lay down a textured area exactly like the selected textured area. That would be kind of a magical paintbrush.To my limited mind, I think I may have to paint over the whole photograph to restore it. But, anyhow how might I begin to restore this photo I have?
I am designing a paper model airplane that has parts covered in fabric. Is there a tutorial on how to simulate a fabric effect (like you see on WWI bi-planes)?
Is there any plugin that will fill in a shape with an entire texture. For example say I have a hexagon shape that I want to fill with a texture, it would take the texture and squeeze, bend and distort it to match the shape of the hexagon.
This ability would greatly speed up texturing UV maps for a model. I have yet to find a single paint program since I had DPaint on the Amiga years ago that has this feature. I've looked thru the plugin list and the closest I found was 'Shaped Gradient' which is exactly what Im looking for but doesn't support textures.
I make sculpties in Second Life. They need textures and up to this point, I've been doing it by hand, pixel by pixel. Now I want to learn how "real-looking" textures are done by editing the texture maps.
How do I go about applying the beige marble texture on top of the black vase outline but not outside of the lines? It's ok and preferable if the texture is squeezed at the bottom to wrap around. and I'm trying to make it seamless, the marble square at the bottom actually covers the 4th vase side. (the top and bottom outlines are the outside and the right/left are the inside of the vase.)
There are a few things i wanted to ask since i don't really find anything relevant to what i'm looking for.
1) Is there a simple and efficient way of applying a texture to a selection (minus alpha of course)? There is a plugin here that claims to do just that, but how to use it or it isn't working properly.
2) I sometimes want to color specific portions of an image that isn't layered, and if there are outlines, it only gets harder. Any tips about that or perhaps some plugin that can pick out a specific color range of pixels from my selection?
3) There is a plugin called Drop Shadow or something. It is really useful and well done, i'll give the author that, but it would also be better if there was an option to dump the shadow in a new layer below the current to allow easier manipulation later on. The current workaround is generating the shadow without the original image, copying, tracing the steps back and pasting in a new layer.
So there are for now. Oh, and one last thing: is a new version or at least an update coming out anytime soon? It's been a long while since i saw any changes.
I am trying to use paint.net to make a texture pack for Minecraft. I want the inventory screen to be transparent. So I tried to use the color replacer with a tolerance of 0 to replace a color with a transparent black. So original color -> transparent color. But what happens is that the color that is partially transparent just layers on top of the other, just making it black. Since I need to get the shape and outline exactly right of all the boxes in this inventory screen, erasing and recoloring each pixel isn't really an option.
I bought a SABRENT USB-AVCPT video capture device that came bundled with ULEAD Video Studio 10 SE, and after loading the Windows 7 install kit, loaded it and have been pulling my hair out ever since.
Computer: Sony VIAO 64 bit, 3.4ghz dual core, 4GB main memory.
(1) Audio Input keeps constantly switching back to Microphone, even though the video stays on the USB Capture device. If I do ANYTHING, like stop a capture to double-check the captured file by playing it back, the display will still show the USB Audio but the capture is coming from the microphone. (It's rather frustrating to have 93 minutes of very fine video but 93 minutes of the gardener and the lawnmower, breakfast conversation, etc.)
(2) Attempts to change the Video Capture to 720x480, rather than the default 640x480, will quite often result in crashes, or in "Illegal function" error messages that cause AppCrash, or, if the app doesn't crash, it switches the sound back to Microphone and drops the video back to default.
(3) I cannot get it to let me capture any COMPRESSED video formats. So a 90 minute video ends up in a 105GB AVI file. (Previous discussion in here, with Ken Barry, if my memory (not on the video card!) is working right, indicated that this humongous file size might be the problem. But if I can't get it to capture something and compress it...) None of the other capture formats seem to work without Illegal Function, Illegal Function, and an AppCrash.
