sideshowbob Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 All right guys, I do all of my concepts on the very basic microsoft paint. I wanted to know if, I dont know how to say this, when I go to outline something to cut and paste, you can only use a square shape wich leaves alot of white space. Is there a way to outline something exactly along it's lines? Sorry if it's a bit confusing. Thanks for the help.

pollux Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Use the free-form select. But it's a pain in the ass.

VitaminD Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Free-form select helps.Also, make the background on the area you're selecting transparent (it's on the left side controls, beneath all the tools) - if you make the edited item's white space opaque, it'll overlay the background you're placing it on. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you select a portion of the picture, you will see under the tools, two picture that have shaped in them. There should be one on top of the other. Select the bottom one and there ya go!

Camden Crazy Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Ohhhhhh yeah, I do that all the time. I just didn't know what you meant, I get it now . But even when I do that, sometimes I get little spots of white surrounding the picture which makes it look bad. Any way I can get rid of that?

nwtrailtrekker Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 i had the same problem for a long time, here is what you do, select the square or star cutter thing, and then find the two buttons below where there is a cylinder, a sphere and a cube, select the bottom one, it should turn blue, and you are set.

Epiphanic Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I don't think there really is a way to get those white spots from around the picture. Even if you select the transparent button-thingy. The reason is that those pixels aren't exactly white. They have a slight tint of whatever color the edge of your picture is. It's a blending sort of thing. Outside of haveing that sharp cutoff point (which makes having a smooth picture a bit difficult to achieve) I think you're stuck. You can edit the pixels individually though. Which is also a pain to do. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
