St.Jim

Here's a desktop wallpaper I've made a while ago in PDN (I haven't been active on the forums I know, but I thought I'd get back into it ) http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs46/f/2009/ ... St_Jim.png All in PDN except for the windows flag which I silhouetted.

Simple recycle bin in PDN

Great tut! Only problem with mine is i messed up the alpha mask :oops: I'll certainly use this effect again keep 'em coming!

Would it be possible to have a voting poll (like on youtube, were you could select a radio button at the end of the article, so that it doesn't clutter so much) then put that in the title somewhere - so people know which are good plugins, or tutorials and can steer clear of ones that have a good name, but do nothing. Name: Shape 3D (5 star) more people would look at that plugin than one which has 1 star.

Thanks, of course any improvements to my original tutorial is welcomed Yes, the best result is usually achieved with the gradient blur plugin rather than with the gausian blur.

Post it on an external site: Photobucket Then jsut put the image URL into the signature URL link.

Would it still be a violation of copyright if you were to just have a link like this - but not re-produce them? PDN Tutorials: Ash's glass tutorial Ash shows us how to create glass in PDN. Link goes here to PDN tutorials page. Random tutorial Random tutorial Link goes here to PDN tutorials page.

Oh, sorry i missed that bit. :oops:

No, it will still only show the dimentions in square form, so if it's a circle its no good, plus you would still need to work out, using a caluclation, the amount of pixels in %.

Yes, which is very unlikely I guess if someone had the time they could make a plugin that does this for you but I don't think many people would use it, so I doubt it will ever be made. Oh, you could do 2 rectangualr selections or more, just do one, then the other then add them together (%)

You could.... I guess (if you are measuring the % of red in a square) you could do it a hard way (if anyone has better, reply and put me to shame.) drag your selection down to the bottom of your red for example, then look at the "bounding rectangle size," multiply the width by the height, then the width by the height of the whole canvas. Then divide the larger by the smaller and multipy that by 100. Simple! (Canvas width*Canvas height)/(Selection width*Selection height)*100 (800*600)/(800*432)*100 = 72% red pixels (but this ONLY works for SQUARES if not then there is no other way than to manually count them :wink:)

Faking Soft Brushes and the Blur/Dodge/Burn Tool Look at that and use search before you post (okay, you did ask for a plugin and this is a tutorial, but at the moment - correct me if i'm wrong - there isn't a specific plugin for it.)

Interesting, but you do need to have a large enough screen to fit that on and your image (otherwise it can be quite hard to see - like me with my 15.4" screen ^^) @pstein: Rick Brewster said that there wasn't going to be a ribbon interface like office 2007 or intergration into the top toolbars. A good idea would be to have just the top of the toolbar (i.e. the bit with name on it) and when you hover over it, it drops down, check out this thread - Popular features request.

Are you sure you just didn't delete the shortcut to PDN? Just create a new shortcut on your desktop with the destination to "C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.exe" Or you could have partially removed some of the files from PDN (highly unlikely) or something might have accidenlty been moved. Just go to your control panel and "Add or remove programs" Unintall PDN then try again. Just one thing, the question should have been, Gah! My PDN Won't re-install! Good luck!

Tip: Watch the video (It may help a bit) All you have to do is (as you did in the beginning) is select the colour replacer tool and choose your primary colour as the colour you want your tect to become (the yellow bit on my example.) Then just select the gradient tool and click once on the square with differnt colours on it (look at the location of this in the tutorial) and selcet the icon with a circle inside it (circular gradient) then jsut drag it from the centre.
