An extension to the Guide to Basic Rendering

[Skalt711]

It appears that this guide lacks instructions for other image editors. What I think is that the guide needs an extension and the inclusion of the stated previously instructions.

GIMP and Photoshop need to be documented in the Guide as they are the other major image editors alongside Paint.NET.

It will also be nice if we'll describe any other render techniques.

Is it fine to document other image editors and more render techniques? If yes, the Images Helper team and any experienced users can probably handle this.

I think that seems fine, yes.

I'm at work right I'll come back to this later.

There's a color changer,image converter and image resizer program that I think that might be beneficial that I'll like to introduce.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That is probably fine.

Paintdotnet has functions for color changing, file converting (to an extent) and image resizing. If anyone needs help with those, I'd be willing to write up a section for the guide featuring them.

I don't use any other image editor aside for one to create rounded edges (and even then I'm pretty sure you can just whip up a CSS style sheet to do that) so I can't help beyond that.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That seems fine. Thank you for the help.

Well, I'm not sure where the color changing would take its place. The guide already explains the visitor to save the file in .png format, so it'll be preferred if someone would explain how the file converting can be used otherwise. Image resizing can be useful and be not only explained in its section, but also injected into the main guide after the seventh step, and the new step should guide the user to crop the empty transparent area from the sides by changing the canvas' dimensions.

@Peter

Bring these programs on! Let's see what they're capable of!

I forgot about my own thread

I think that I'll wait for others to suggest their opinions, then, if the thread will be inactive for 2 weeks straight, I'll go implement my suggestions.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. No problem.
