presets?

[jazminj323]

ok so i did exactly what the tutorials say to do with presets except i use a different program (paint.net) and it isnt working. does anyone know how to make a preset with paint.net?

Probably not easy to use paint.net for a preset.
Try GIMP(http://www.gimp.org/) it's free, just click download on that page there. Shouldn't take too long to get the hang of it either.

i know everyone says gimp but i dont wanna download another thing onto my computer

Well I'm not so sure if paint can do the job like GIMP and photoshop. Gimp and Photoshop are the best softwares to use when making presets cause they can save things as jpgs, gifs, and png. I do recommend gimp since the programs is free.

i know that people reccomend gimp but i really dont want to download anything else on my computer cuz it is slow enough already so does anyone know how to make a preset with paint.net

Well, I guess you drag in your item you want and start painting. The thing is about the paint app is that you can't add any texture unless you do it yourself. No opacity level, no layers. So what ever paint job you do you can erase easily. You can always see if you can get rid of unwanted software so you can make some sort of room for it. Try throwing out everything in your recycle bin and make some room.

ooooh you think paint and paint.net are the same thing no paint doesnt have layers and stuff but paint.net does it has layers opacity effects you can choose from all that stuff

I have used Paint.NET to make a preset. What's the problem?

[jazminj323]

well when i save it it doesnt seem to be working and some people say not to use layers and some tell you to use layers so i am pretty confused with all this and i havnt been able to find a tutorial that isnt gimp

[JASCrystal]

by not working when saving do you mean that the preset dosen't turn out how you want it? It really depends on the transparency of the colors if you want to use layers.
