These are more paint.NET questions, but I can't find anything on the paint.NET website. First, how do I make my projects show up in different windows, so that I can match and compare the colors for the wall/border? Second, how do I set the brush settings so they match what is in the tutorial? I have v. 3.08, just downloaded yesterday. If this is the wrong place for this question, can you let me know where I should be looking? As has been said before, awesome tutorial - these were the only points of confusion for me. Thank you so much!

I have the same problem. I couldn't open Paint.net in two windows at the same time. Therefore, I was unable to easily match my wall and floor colours. Also, I think the eraser is different in v. 3.08 because my tool bar didn't look the same as the tutorial. I just couldn't get the eraser to work as described in the tutorial so the moss colour doesn't show through.

Can anyone help? ps. excellent tutorial. Many thanks.

I don't know enough about paint.net right now, but it does use layers

When I need to match something in photoshop, I don't use 2 windows. I actually grab a sample - big enough so I get enough of the color, but not enough to hide what I'm trying to match - and cut and paste it into the same window (on a new layer) as the thing I'm trying to match. Then I do my thing with the rest of the graphic... and when I'm done I delete the sample (or hide that layer)

I have a bit of a problem. I use Paint Shop Pro 7 and I do everything it says in the tutorial. Ive been told that both PSP and Photoshop are almost the same so I followed the Photoshop tutorial part. My problem comes when I transfer the save .bmp file to HCP (Home Crafter Plus) when I run the program and I get to the part where I make the wall it looks like too much light is hitting it and makes it look really bad. I went back to the tutorial and tried doing the Effect-Sharpen thing that says in the other part of the tutorial, just in case PSP is different there but it does nothing. (Yes I copied and pasted the new ones to HCP)

Can anyone tell me how to fix it? So it isnt too bright?

Kiraditz -
I'm not sure what the difference in with psp or anything like that, but this is the first thing I'd try: try simply darkening your graphic. The game has lighting in it, which shines on everything. White should be light gray - black should actually be dark gray (pure black tends to make a dark flat black-hole sort of appearance in game).

If you look, you can see HP's graphics and how it looks in game are slightly different. Seasons if you have that, adds even more variation to the game lighting.

Sharpen is only going to change how crisp the edges in the graphic appear.

Thank You. I tried HomeCrafter Plus once I think I only had the base, no expansions or stuff packs, and it didnt look so bright, maybe its what you said every expansion adds more brightness.

Here is a picture of the work when in HCP and one in the game after defragmenting my computer. Before I defragmented my computer the ingame picture looked like the one in the HCP, but Im still worried about how it looks there. If any wall gives me problems I'll try changing the brightness, I didnt thought of that one

Well thank you for the help.

kingdomheartsgirl111 - Err, read... the first part of the first post? It explains what you can and can't use and has links to programs and info and stuff - and mentions Paint too.

Is there something that I am missing I am unable to open more than 1 instance of paint.net

Ok after doing some reading about paint.net I found out that the version 3 that I downloaded does allow you to have more than one thing open in the program at once.

Homecrafter will create a Projects folder when you go to create a new project if you don't already have one.

Fall_Out - make sure you are installing Framework, whichever way in which it currently presented on Paint.Net's site. There's 2 parts - the paint.net application, and the system used to run it, framework.
