One size fits all..................................... Edit: Changed color.

Congrats Pixey on your win. MJW, absolutely "Killa" entry. I would never spend that much time on an image, well done indeed. For the record, I rarely ever spend more than 10 min on any entry. If I had voted, I would have certainly voted for your entry! Must admit, I was rather disappointed that I did not get a big fat goose egg on my entry, maybe on my next entry........

Just for fun and because this topic is interesting....

Ooops, I meant to say Color Mixer by Tanel.

Perhaps Color Channel Mixer would interest you.

This one looks cool. Click on thumbnail.

ExifTool

Well you can use Irfanview, Xnview, Fastone and many others for this very simple task. <snipped and a warning issued: @dipstick will be away form the forum for a week.>

Just use multiple blending modes. Click thumbnail bellow to get a closer look....

1) Load the BeachBall.png map in PDN 2) Click Effects > Render > Shape3D You can paint different colors if you'd like. Click thumbnail below for closer look.

Thanks for the complements everyone. I'm unable to rename the thread tittle, could one of the mods rename it to "Ball Maps" ? That way anyone can post their favorite ball map. Anyway, here is a good Beach Ball map if anyone is interested: BeachBall.png.zip

Congrats Drew, Lynxter4 and Pixey. great entries by everyone also.

here is just one way:

Anyone interested in a decent basketball map? Basketball_Big_texture.png.zip

Pardon my ignorance, but how can you reasonably expect a plugin to do your very specialized effects? I would suggest to you to invest your time in learning how to write your own plugins for your own specific needs.

FWIW Linux Mint KDE has a nice Clipboard Manager built-in. It allows you to set instances or clipboard memory (how many you want to save) and easy access to the clipboard via an icon on the Task Bar. You can also assign key-board shortcuts for functions. Sure this is totally irrelevant to most PDN users, but it's just food for thought......

"Ink Sketch" followed by multiple instances of "Screen" blending modes.

amazing that you got the curvature correct without using a map.............. Anyway, even though my images were dis-allowed, I have no problem uploading my own map. Everyone is free to use it at will........

Congrats Woodsy, that was a great baseball. Perhaps you can post the map so others can use it.....

Put your text on a transparent layer. Use Hue/Saturation to adjust color. for white/black use the brightness slider..

Yet another reason to keep at least one old version of PDN as backup. I have and use v3.5.11 because it's the latest version I can run in Linux under wine. I also have v4.0.13 installed in a VM running win7. I use v3.5.11 about 99.9% of the time FWIW....

You can use Shape 3D plugin to make this effect.
