  1. Since when is Paint.NET's license strict? I can do whatever I want.

    Was that serious or sarcastic?

    ...the creation of new layers immediately above the selected layer...

    I know this is off-topic but, I'm not liking that as much as I had thought I would... :roll::lol:

    I'm 50/50 on it. It can be useful, but sometimes you mean to insert it on top... so yeah.

  2. When you go to paste the image and it asks "Expand Canvas," Keep Canvas Size," or "Cancel" click "Keep Canvas Size," then drag the corners of the image while holding shift to resize it.

    The others get small probably because the larger image you paste is larger than the canvas, and when you expand the canvas it zooms out. There is a zoom option on the top of Paint.NET, you'll see (example) 100%.

    There is also a tutorial regarding collages, use searchpaint.net to find it (should be in tutorial section though).

  3. This is not against the rules.

    As CS said, I would add a gradient in the Background. Also, perhaps to 'spice' it up a bit, add some sort of an object (WITH COLOR) that really sticks out and contrasts the rest. Perhaps even make it "jump out" of the picture a little.

    Otherwise, it really isn't bad ... especially for a newcomer.

  4. This one was fun to do..

    I like to think everything in PDN is fun! :P

    Well cept those few frustrating moments...

    (very nice by the way)

    i am a new user, so im not the best with paint.NET, but if you are slightly or very experienced in PDN i would highly appreciate if you gave me some comments and tips on how to make my work better. thank you

    The best way to get better, in my opinion, is to just keep on using Paint.NET. Read some tutorials to get ideas, create ideas of your own, and become gradually more familiar with it. Also, becoming an active member of this forum is a GREAT way to learn about Paint.NET.

    Your images are pretty good for a new user. Just keep up the work, and you'll be doing amazing things in no time.

  5. I don't think the Feather Effect will achieve what you want. Feather was designed to smooth curved edges, not as much for perfectly straight edges as these.

    There are a few things you may want to try. Opague-to-transparent gradients along the edges would achieve an effect that simply blends the edges into the clouds. This is the same concept of feathering, though on a much larger - and noticable - scale. Also, gaussian blurring a copy of the image behind itself (in front of the clouds) may provide a similar, though less effective, outcome. See this post to learn more about these types of gradients.

    Also, the way you worded your request brought blending modes to my mind. It doesn't seem like the effect you described, but may be better than that. Worth a shot. See this page for more details on blending modes. This page may help you understand layers, if you do not already.
