I think this is a pretty good tutorial but I think that the gloss should be applied in a layer OVER the picture you put inside the box. This will make the picture look like it belongs inside the box. Now it looks as if the picture and box are two separate items. otherwise, great.

Yay! I like your creations and tutorials. (Original or not. :wink: ) Can hardly wait for more tutorials!

This looks realistic to me, so I'm posting it here. Yes, it is an interface, but I was recreating something that already existed. Therefore, I was making something look realistic. I got bored in PdN and made part of the slider part from the iPhone and iPod touch UI. I think it looks pretty cool. I know it's missing some stuff (like the slider arrow), but it would still be cool to attach this to the bottom of Olli's PdN touch or something. EDIT: Thankfully, I've only moved once when I was little. So, I don't know about all of the difficulties and troubles of moving. Looks crazy!! Great collage!

I like it, but the drop shadow is a bit too jagged. Besides the jagged shadow, it is AWESOME. I also like how the letter is slightly transparent.

@Sozo: I dunno if I'd want that color in Paint.NET. Maybe if there were some different color schemes, it would be kinda cool. What would be cool would be to combine all windows (tools, colors, layers, history) into one window that makes it look good. That would be awesome.

Well that's pretty cool that you created the iPod touch (not spelled "iTouch" ). Just joking. How exactly did you make the rounded corners so perfectly and the right size?

Thank you for this plug-in. It works wonderfully!

Did you make all of that iPod touch or just the Paint.NET app and the "iPod Touch2" text?

This new contest reminds me of our band's marching show this coming season! It's called the "Fab Four Seasons." It's going to be a show about the Beatles' music. Don't ask me how this relates to seasons because I have no idea besides that there are four seasons.

Oh, POO!! I was thinking the deadline wasn't until the end of the month. I was going to wait until the last minute. Well I guess I waited too long, so I will just submit mine anyway. My application is a media player. It is called Media Player Ultimate. It sports a very nice UI with a sliding glass bar for the toolbar and a sliding glass bar for the scroll bar. You can easily flick through song lists, pictures, videos, documents, and MUCH more! Additional player controls aesthetically fade in and out as needed saving valuable space. CLICK TO ENLARGE!

You need to have a separate image hosting site (such as http://www.photobucket.com/). Upload the image on that site and then use the tag to use the image on the forum. Try this tut: Cutting out images the easy way Try this tut: How to use images in your posts, signatures, and avatars. This is the wrong place for this question though. (That means that it will probably be moved. Next time, please read the forum rules before you post ANYTHING.) Have a great day!

That's disappointing... You should try and use your talent to do something that is a little more creative... That's my [two cents]. I completely agree with barkbark00. I think I may have said something before about your creations not being unique. You really are talented; don't get me wrong. It's just that you're kinda thriving off other people's creations by recreating them or call it "gaining inspiration". On sort of another note... I hear that you make wallpapers (or other stuff) for your fans. Although I don't like that you "gain inspiration" from other pieces of work, I really do love your stuff. So... I was wondering if you could create something ORIGINAL for me? Please?? I just want something absolutely original. No inspiration, no nothing. (Except PdN, of course.) This is a free country (I guess you're from the US), and you don't have to create ANYTHING for ANYONE, but I would be an even bigger fan of yours if you did. Thanks, and wanna see some original stuff!!

Ooh... I'm excited to see what this can be!

But isn't a completely transparent pixel just nothing?

Hello, I like using the Alpha Mask plug-in because I always get clean edges. However, I've noticed that the layer I use the mask on, there is sometimes some "debris" left over after I use the Alpha Mask. What I mean is that if I use the magic wand at a tolerance of 0%, it will still select part of the image that used to be there so that means there is still some of it there. How do I use the Alpha Mask and NOT have any of this left-over "debris"? I just now figured out that this only happens when I choose to invert the mask. I just now tried it with the actual mask inverted and not the "invert mask" option chosen and it worked fine with no debris. Hmm.. Well, I'll appreciate any comments. Thanks, you guys.

The quality is better than what? JPG?

I think he (or she) means instead of moving a pixel so far across the X or Y plane according to its luminosity value, just blur the pixel. (I'm not familiar with writing plug-ins and blurring, so I don't know if you can "blur" one pixel.)

I always use http://www.dafont.com/. There are MANY fonts that are great for graphic designers or for anyone.

CMD is entering? I don't think I will do this anymore. I won't win. JK! Bring it on! 8)

That's a great idea! But I don't want to submit until the last minute because I don't want anyone getting ideas. I'm not saying someone would want to copy mine, but I just want mine to be unique. Are you participating in this competition?

Just to get a little friendly competition going, I decided to post just a smidgen of my app. (See the attachment.)

Partial media player :?: Mine's just kinda like the mini-player version of my media player. EDIT: I'M DONE WITH MY APP!

Great! Thanks.

I don't know. That's kinda why I asked.
