PDN format is already compressed. 300MB is not very large, it would easily exceed 1GB were it uncompressed. If you don't have a lot of HDD space, use an external HDD or USB thumbdrive to store your project files.

Or better yet, allowing import of 32-bit png image would make the Trails plugin obsolete.

Thanks for the font flaner....

That looks good flaner. Do you have a link to that font?

You can do it using two instances of Gradient. The 1st in normal mode, then the second in transparent mode.

Great idea.......

As for my first entry: No I did not shoot and create the fire apple image that I animated, though I'm sure I could if I wanted to. AFAIK it's not copyright, it is open source. It was one of the many excellent Desktop Backgrounds that came with my Linux distro. I can't provide any links to the image, but here is a link to the distros for anyone interested: https://www.linuxmint.com/I highly recommend those distros to anyone interested. Whether or not you want to submit it for voting is your call. In fact you can omit all my entries for voting, I really just don't care. I submit what I think has some artistic value and don't want to offend anyone. Therefore I won't be submitting any more entries in future contests. Good luck to all.

100% PDN v3.5.11 running in Linux. Plugins used: BoltBait's Flames, Ripple and Midora's Animate Images. Total time: 10 min.

Made with Red's Object Bevel, TR's Intensity Warp and Midora's Animate Images. ** Edited for better animation....

I could never understand why someone would get plugin packs from another site, only to come to this one and complain about it. I find that both illogical and amusing at the same time. If there are indeed viruses in the Megalo pack, I would do a system restore or reformat and rebuild. Chalk it up to lesson learned and move on. In the future get your PDN plugins from this site only.

To be honest I never looked for or tried to read the PDF. I'm sure it will be helpful to some however...

This is a fun little plugin. Cheers..........

I used this plugin to make a cool loop-able Motion Background for video @ 1080p. Here's a downsized sample at reduced quality animated gif.

Very cool! Thanks Red.

You are out of luck. Either "Auto-Level" each layer, or use an external program to animate your layers with a global levels adjustment.

Kinda reminds me of that old song from the 70's...."I don't like spiders and snakes, but that ain't what it takes to love me".... Keep at it Buck, I think you're sand baggin'. You'll have it in no time......

I believe PDN v4.0.7 is the first version to require .NET v4.6, so PDN v4.0.6 is the version you seek. Don't know where to find it, so you'll need to search for it.

I tried TR's Intensity Warp and yes indeed, it does paste Clipboard image. It's pretty cool too.....

This is an excellent plugin that deserves to pinned for sure. I tried to use your Paste Warp plugin, but I couldn't get it to work in PDN v3.5.11 running in Linux. It wouldn't paste a copied image. Maybe it's an issue with Wine or something. Anyway I got satisfactory results with straight overlays using various blending modes.

My guess is she overlayed a texture onto the 3-d text. You can apply the text onto an image and get it to look the way you want, then apply. Next undo, create a blank layer above the image and hit Ctrl+F to apply the 3-d text to the blank layer. Now you cam manipulate any way you want with AAA's or texture...

Excellent plugin TR. Well done....

Photoshop plugin needs mulitple shots taken on a tripod to determine the difference and remove the people. You can do the same thing manually by erasing sections out of various layers then merge down.
