Paint.Net Tutorial
Hi everyone. Im gonna do a little tutorial for anyone who wants to make simple, easy banners for free.
to get started you'l need the Paint.Net programme.
download it from :
http://paint.net/
Okay here is how you can blend two images together...
1. first open your first image. PRESS 'IMAGE' and 'expand canvass. expand to 200%
now click 'layers' and then 'import from file' and import your second image. Drag the image so that image A and B are side by side, with one overlaping.
Now select the gradient tool...
with your gradient tool selected, a new toolbox will appear near the top of the screen. select the icon which has 4 small multi-coloured squares. once youve clicked it, it will transfer to 'transparency mode'
now you can drag this tool across the front image so that one side dissapears, leaving image A and B blended together.
once your images are blended, you MUST click 'layers' and then 'merge layer down'
now you can drag a rectangle (found at the top of the toolbar) around your finnished image and 'crop to selection' and option that will appear at the top of the screen after you have highlighted the area you want.
now all you need to do is click 'save as' and your done !
when on 'save as' make sure your save type is JPEG or PNG.
now for the final stage upload it here :
