Echo ... Echo I was a bit sceptical when I unwrapped 2 Echo Dots and an Echo Sub for Christmas ... but I'm impressed. The sound isn't BOSE or Sonos but still, a very passable 2:1 system for the price ... in fact I'm so impressed I decided to ... Happy New Year to all my friends. May 2020 bring you everything you want Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i Pawb. Mwynhau

Colorful art as always! Merry Yuletide!

If you have my plugin pack installed, you can do it this way: Open the graphic Select all, copy Make your edits Effects > Object > Paste alpha (clipboard alpha) Now you have applied your original alpha to your new image.

Friends, I have recently acquired a number of race geese. Let me know if you're interested in taking a quick gander 😉

The human brain is an amazing thing. It starts working the day you’re born and doesn’t stop until you take a test or talk to someone attractive.

Yes, that is an official release of Paint.NET. https://blog.getpaint.net/2017/07/09/paint-net-on-the-windows-store/

Thank you, dear friends It's one of the very few things that actually turned out well this year. I guess we're bound to keep on the road somehow despite the many setbacks

I use that too. I've had a few email exchanges with Klocman its creator - friendly, helpful guy and the uninstaller works well so I usually suggest either that or Revo when these sorts of matters are discussed. BTW Happy Christmas and happy new year everyone here.

I will look into adding support for R8G8B8 and X8B8G8R8 to the plugin.

Antique Giraffe was here...

Happy birthday Welshy! 🎂🍹

There are a few newer coding fonts available these days: Cascadia Code Fira Code JetBrains Mono Anyone using these?

Looks like I didn't fully test HiDPI when I changed the font to Segoe UI. I'll get that fixed.

Congratulations to @welshblue, @Pixey, and @Vagabondi! I Welshblue's winning entry was most impressive. I thought a straight-on view was difficult enough; I didn't even consider attempting an off-angle view. Really liked Vagaboni's tangled-tape gag, which was a clever idea, well-executed. Thanks to Pixey for hosting!

It is shown under the Image menu.

Dear @Vagabondi! I am speechless, again such great pictures. Everyone is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us!

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/end-of-windows-7-support This means no more updates, especially security updates. This will put it in the same place as XP and Vista, which nobody should be using anymore. I don't yet have a concrete plan for when Paint.NET will stop supporting Windows 7, which is when Windows 10 will become the minimum OS version*, but the clock is ticking. Maybe 1 year after, maybe 2 or even 3, it's not set in stone yet, but I'm not going to be able to support Windows 7 indefinitely. Please upgrade to Windows 10. I know a lot of you really like Windows 7, and that's a perfectly fine opinion, but supporting it does hold back Paint.NET's long-term progression and you have to know I can't support it indefinitely. Windows 7 has had a great run! It's currently 10 years old! Celebrate that, and then upgrade to 10 You've got time, so don't panic, but definitely include this in your planning. * let's just forget Windows 8/8.1 ever happened, just like we never say the word "Vista" out loud ...

Yes, I really like Visitant @welshblue. I'm not for Ghouls, but this image is really good. I believe in this kind of thing and I actually had an 'experience' with-the-other-side, about 46 years ago. I won't go into the details, but I'm a believer 😱 Am out of Reps right now - I'll be back 🧐

I agree with @lynxster4, creepy image, but it's very well put together. I myself haven't had any supernatural experiences, but my wife has. We went to this hotel to tour since it was notorious for having supernatural occurrences, and I didn't see anything happen. She said the last time she toured the place with a friend they saw a lot of stuff happen, TVs turn on, objects move, etc. Creepy to hear about, but again, never experienced it first hand.

Hello @porkchop and Welcome to the forum Short answer - you can't increase a small font and have it readable. Do your text on a new layer and then merge it with your banner. I have done this on your size of 400 pixels x 150 pixels and this is what I get:

This effect is a result of a writing by me CodeLab - First Steps (Linocut) tutorial. You can find it: Effects -> Artistic -> Linocut This effect is imitates the linocut technique. It has a simple and intuitive interface. A Tool Size control defines the width of the contours of the image. The Details control determines the amount of detail in the image. The Inverse checkbox to invert the colors of image. Compatible with both: v3.5.X and v4.0.X Linocut_en.zip Linocut_ru.zip Before: After: After when the checkbox Inverse is marked:

Dear @Vagabondi! I wish you and your family a happy new year. Good health & luck.

Thank you @Vagabondi for nominating 'Three Tigers'. It was a surprise 'Christmas' present! ☺️ Thank you @Drydareelin for the nice words. I always enjoy your 'spacescapes'.

Congratulations, Red! Really wish I could nominate some of your "official" paintings but that would be against the rules... Happy holidays 🍷

#114 Artist: @lynxster4 Nominated by: @Vagabondi who said: "The rough magic of this picture is mesmerizing. I wish I could zoom it several times to look deeper into their world. It's hard to say - night or twilight - but they are alive, you can feel the surface and sense their mood. "

Lost a lot of detail when I resized my SOTW entry. Thought I'd share a bigger version. Santa's such a cutie...

FYI...it's called an ornament cap. (I'm so full of obscure information.) 😆

"May I offer you some feedback?" (c) - Wine Country Each work is a little wonder in its own way. Icy cherries - probably this one caught me first and the process of pixeylization * started. The violin is cool - it is true that music can be seen (the glasses add a nice detail, too). Crazy Dancing - I swear I could see figures in them even before clicking on the thumbnail. Blue is a gymnast at the end of the performance. Red is a ballerina. Green is oriental and Yellow - let's leave it to imagination Those shiny glassy apples - don't know whether I want to taste them or gaze at them. This portrait is what they call artistic vision. The elephant is a cutie. These birds are touching and funny. That one = luxury. The mp3 player teases one to make a playlist. I'm not really into jewelry but I look at yours and I'm like, how many items are left? Contact me please! The perfumes - yes, add them all to the cart! We live once. The Typography - no words... The Journey - for a moment I thought it was simply a photo and you had applied some effects - and then - wait, did she make it all from scratch? And so on and so forth... Honorable mention. Your latest Graffiti entry is adorable. The others are fine, yes, but there's something about the third one that I can't explain. A form of casual magic. More than a decade of not commenting on @Pixey's art - is that a way to spend one's life? NO. Consider it a compensation. And thank you. ___ *Pixeylization (noun) - comparatively new and not-fully-researched phenomenon of turning a passerby into one of those creatures who virtually sold their souls to PDN and actually won from the deal.

Really like 'Death's Flower'...just perfect! 'Emergence' is good, also...but I prefer the second one. Great job!

Made the spaceship in blender, everything else made in PDN.

Nice to see you active again @nitenurse79 and to agree with others, a very pretty lady.

What a gorgeously realistic result for knitting @lynxster4 I had a bit of trouble around step 7. I couldn't get the trail to work until I deleted the white background. Trust me to get something wrong .............. but that's me and is so typical

UPDATE: Version 3.8 of my effects is released. This release adds two effects, Gridlines and Object Align. All effects have significant speed inprovements, especially Drop Shadow. Many have usability improvements as well. All effects are also translated into Russian and Dutch. Special thanks to xmario for helping me with the Russian translation of these effects. Thanks also to moc426 for allowing me to release an Object Align effect. Effects per category: Drop Shadow: The "Drop Shadow" effect, under the Object effect menu. With offset, widening, blur, opacity and a color picker. Duotones: "Duotone Light" and "Duotone Ink on Paper" adjustments.

Great image Eli! Thanks for posting it and the effects used. Nicely framed too. Edit: I think it's 'Folkestone'... perhaps the e floated away on the tide?

Thanks Red ochre, I do not know why I had not seen this effect before. This is a combination of Scribble and Furblur effects followed by Dents and color adjustments.

Looks cool! (I hope it's not a sink hole )

Thank you for all your hard work in writing plugins to make crating images that much easier

This tutorial will do what you are looking for, though it isn't quite the "one click solution" you want. With a few run-throughs, though, you will find it really isn't as complicated as it first appears.
