I want to create a gradient background like below, how do I accomplish this? Also, same with header. Anyone have tips on creating nice background headers like show below?

I just scanned from my HP Officejet 5510 (on Vista Ultimate). However, is there any possible OCR capability in paint.net?

I have 38 png files I need to resize to 32px How do I do this in one shot if possible?

How can I replicate these styles? I honestly would search the tutorials, but I do not know the terminology per style. Any assistance appreciated, thank you.

can someone please explain to me how to acheive this green background button? http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/8808 ... ton4xw.gif I wish to create the same style/size but just a different color, probably FF9900 or such.

Thanks that worked but now saving in gif format is losing some quality. This is not the case for me in photoshop. How do I retain the full quality in gif format?

Weird...only radial side and radial corner but no plain old radial alone.

There is no "circle" option

Not quite. I need it to be circular outgoing. I don't know the exact terminology anyway

I want to make a circle gradient / fade around an image so that the further you go out from the center of the image, it fades out (into white). How do I accomplish this one?

I got it through a new layer actually

I used the magic wand and made portions of an image clear (magic wand + delete button). When I copy / paste that entire image over another psd image with purple background, the clear portion of the image is not showing "clear" or transparent over the purple background. Why would that be?

Gimp and PSD are also image editors, but they allow you to edit the text layer when you click on that layer.

Something I find a little annoying is after I type in some text and go back later to edit, selecting A icon and clicking anywhere over that text (that layer is already selected) it does not allow me to edit the text but assumes new text. How do I work around this?

Is there a way or plugin that enables you to resize a layer? Also, is there a plugin that enables you to directly select a layer when you click on it (as it does in PSD)?
