Thank you @ReMake! I will try this. 🙂 EDIT: Just tried it...it works great! 👍

It works now! Thanks @Reptillian 👍

Hi @Reptillian The Z-Convolution % is just great! 🙂 Details are clear and crisp. However, I'm experiencing a crash on a very detailed gray scale image that I made in Gmic-QT with Thorn Fractal. It's the background in the above image. When I applied a Color Tint on it, it worked just fine. Instead of posting my crash log, download this image and try it yourself. Then apply color and it should work. Let me know what you find out. Thanks for all your hard work! 😊 👏

@toe_head2001 Please delete the topic under Competitions called 'SOTW - TEST ONLY'. I finally got the bugs worked out and is showing correctly in dark theme. My Word doc was all messed up even though it was set on Automatic for color. Thank you! ☺️

Thank you @barbieq25 and @Pixey for the reps on the suncatcher kitty! Thank you @Pixey for your wonderful words and rep for 'Lady'! 🤗 Thank you @ipswichmanc for strolling thru my gallery and the rep. Stick with us...we will not steer you wrong! 😉

Thank you @Ladybug , @barbieq25 and @Vagabondi for the lovely comments! Thank you @ReMake for the rep point! I may consider that. This was a very intense exercise. We shall see.... 😁

The right image simply looks much clearer. 👍

I have a confession to make. In the 'Royal Crowns' contest, the lady's head was just supposed to be a simple outline, then I was going to make a fabulous crown. But, I got carried away with the 'Lady' and kept filling in more of her features. When she was pretty much done, I didn't have time to make a proper crown. Oh, well... This is my first attempt at a person that is not a cartoon figure. She's not totally life-like, but close. I put some finishing touches on her and I now present 'Lady'. Please let me know what you think! 😊

Hi @ardneh I assume you are referring to say, Gradient Mapping link. Go to the Gradient Mapping page and copy the URL. Whatever thread you are posting to, type Gradient Mapping, highlight it with mouse cursor and select the 'Link' button (looks like a chain link), paste the URL in the space provided and click okay. That makes Gradient Mapping 'clickable' and will take the user to that page. For the user names, type the '@' symbol and a drop-down menu will appear. Choose the name from the list.

I see what you mean. When I open a new contest, I copy and paste the whole thing. It is saved in Word so I can change theme description and date. It's also typed in black. I certainly don't want to re-type the whole thing every time. If I changed the font color to gray or white, then other users (default and Goodnite Nurse) wouldn't be able to see it. I don't know what the solution is unless @toe_head2001 knows a setting he can tweak in the dark theme to change the font color when viewing in dark mode. Toey, let me know what you find out. Thanks. EDIT: And I did note that everything I just typed in black (I use Goodnite Nurse) turns white when switching to dark theme. There has to be a solution.

@TimAllen You could also try ColorFlip plugin. I use this one a lot.

The poll is now open for 'Royal Crowns'. It will be closed on Saturday, December 19th, 2020 - 2:00 PM (EST) & 7:00 PM (UK Time). World Clock Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful entries. May the best win!

Your plugin works as expected @Reptillian. I put little hearts in the flower I used for the Fragment Blur+ plugin. No need to post example. Thanks! 🙂

This works really well @Reptillian! I tried many possible configurations and no crash. This plugin has many possibilities. When you use a lot of duplicates along with a higher 'Half-Image Hypotenuse' you get this mesh-like tube outline. Really cool! I think it's ready, thanks.

What originality @Vagabondi! I can't even pick a favorite, I love them all. Okay, 'Is It Spring Yet?' and 'In The Room' I keep going back to. The bicycle looks so lonely sitting there up against the tree (hope he doesn't rust! haha...) And the room looks so warm, cozy and inviting...and we know what those kitties want... 😉 Fantastic!

That came out great @ipswichmanc! Thank you for doing the tutorial. 😀

What folder is this? The 'gmic' folder under 'paint.net' or the 'Effects' folder? And under what menu does the effect show up?

Congrats to @Vagabondi, @Pixey and @Drydareelin! Every planet looked amazing! So realistic. Great job to all. Thank you for the hosting @Pixey.

Same here @ipswichmanc! (reference to Pixey's quote) I do love your marbling effect. You can tell you put some time and thought into these images. Look forward to more. 🙂

Beautiful marble fireplace @ipswichmanc. So regal looking. Great work! 😁

WOW @Vagabondi, they are all so mesmerizing! Great job on all. 'City That Never Sleeps' is awesome. I like 'Wheels' and 'Night Trap', also. 😀

Love the word cloud! It says everything about PDN. Fantastic image. Would make a great banner for the software. 😄

Love the color palette @JulioCoolio. You can do a lot with an Apophysis image in PDN. Well done!
