@DBME Graphics....you could also do this: add new layer, set blending mode to Color Dodge, select color 160,160,160, select paint brush - hardness 0% at about 150 to 200 px and simply highlight your areas. You can then adjust the opacity for the brightness you desire.

Thanks @Pixey. Ignore my reply to your PM...I hadn't read this thread yet. I'll re-size when I get home from work.

This was a lot more work than I originally thought. The model was a little 'borked' so I made my own interpretations. Also left it at the saved image size. Can't wait to see what others do.

Congrats to @welshblue, @MJW and @Djisves. All entries were so realistic, I wanted to play a few hands.... Thank you for hosting @Pixey!

Great vase @ipswichmanc. Well done. Very good feel of transparency. 🙂

👍

In the new dark theme. Selections I would use because I run a comp. No one else would notice.

Thank you @toe_head2001! This is even better than the dark theme. Some of the text was too dark I could hardly read it. This is just the right amount of dark....easy on the eyes, but you don't have to strain to read things. 🤗

He's cute. Good job. Welcome to the forum @devfail. You'll get better the more you use Paint.Net. I can't find any fault with it. 🙂

I agree with MJW on this @toe_head2001

Hi and welcome @SabreS. 🙂 While waiting for Joshua's reply, I recommend using Creative Text Pro, which allows you to put any texture on text and objects. Read the post carefully for full instructional use. I find myself using this plugin a lot. It's for so much more than text.

Did not. Was having problems with posting the images. It left out the first nine entries, then locked me out. Let it sit for a few minutes and had to re-do the whole thing. 🤣

The Poll is now open for ‘Numerals’. It will be closed on Saturday, September 26th, 2020 – 2:00 pm (EST) and 7:00 pm (UK time). World Clock. Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful entries. May the best win!

Thank you @kfumaster! I am currently making more shapes to add to my pack. I'll consider some human body shapes.

Great image @JulioCoolio! Looks like the bowels of hell. Well done. 😀

Congrats to @welshblue and @Pixey! All the key chains looked fabulous. Great job everyone!

I second that!

Me, either. Probably because it's archived. Thanks @Djisves!
