This was a good tutorial. I used it to make a sunset, which I used the wobble distortion plug-in to show the reflection.

Black Holes!First thing first, some physics to explain them (it makes things easier to create, for me anyway).Black Holes aren't 'holes'. The idea is when a star collapses, it's gravity is so strong and compact into a space so small that it creates what's called a singularity.So I am going to firstly find a space image.This one I found just googling "Ultra Deep Field". I'll stick that into PDN. Obviously reducing the image's size since it's so large.I'll name this layer 'Starfield'.Because the gravity of the black hole is so strong, it even pulls in light. This means it's completely black (hence the name) so on a new layer, I literally just put a large black circle in the middle of it.There's this certain physics term called Hawking Radiation, which we are not going into, but basically it means black holes radiate. To show this, I'm just going to put a very faint white glow behind it.There are multiple ways to do this, the easiest would be to duplicate the circle's layer, and on the bottom one you invert colours (Ctrl+Shift+I for short), apply a Gaussian Blur of about 5 or 6, then lower the opacity to around 100. You can play with the colours of this using the Colour Filter plugin.I would suggest centering both of these circles using the Align Object Plugin.That's pretty much it; but one more thing.With gravity, you have something called Gravitational Lensing. It basically warps the light passing by it and even galaxies can alter it, as seen here:Black Holes also do exactly the same thing. So to recreate this we will need the built-in Twist plugin.Select your Starfield layer and apply the Twist effect. You can really do whatever values you want in this instance but I chose Amount/Driection: 60.28 and Size: 1.Now you're pretty much done. Final image:
This was a good tutorial. Here's a black hole I made, but I used Polar Inversion, so that it shows the circular Event Horizon, the point of no return, around the black hole. It seems more realistic to me.
I also noticed the Hawking Radiation isn't really faint.

Here's mine. The only difference I made was, instead of using ellipse tool, I used Shape3D, and added some noise in the background.

This is a very nice tutorial. Here's a galaxy I made:
However, though, I do notice that the lighting of the Galaxy layer doesn't look exactly right. Still, good image, yes?

Hello. I am having some problems trying to install the Circle Text plug-in. The source that I am downloading it from are the Paint.NET website, and this forum, so I do not believe the source has anything to do with it. I also copy the .dll file and paste it into the proper "Effects" folder. However, once I go into my Paint.NET(Which is 4.0.5), It isn't in the effects tab in the menu-bar. I do not know why, however, but I do believe my Norton could be a problem. I say this since a Norton box comes up, saying that it's analyzing it. After that, It says it is not safe and removes it.
Hopefully, I can find assistance in diagnosing this problem, so I may successfully and functionally install the Circle Text. Thank you.
