Yeah, IRON, searching by the thread title doesn't yield any helpful results. Your second response was much more useful. Welcome to the forum, Donal!

Yes, but you have to have added that text with the plugin in the first place. And it needs to be on its own layer.

They might be, I've never tried them. They were $150, and $500 before that, and people bought them like crazy, so there must be something there.

I think he knows. He built the program. Red Ochre's reply is correct. PDN if there are layers, PNG if not.

Cc4FH's excellent description of different erasing methods nets her a fourth spot on the Mini-Tuts thread!

Usually they're not made low-poly, they're built that way in a 3D image editor. I don't know of an easy way to do it in Paint.NET, though maybe a plugin could be built to do it.

I think it's actually the same, and an optical illusion that it appears bigger at the end. Trail is a good suggestion, but I think the original specimen appears to be using the layer duplication method I detailed.

1. Select the layer with your text on it and click "Layers > Rotate/Zoom..." or press Ctrl+Shift+Z. 2. Play around with the "ball" and get a rotation you like. Hit OK. 3. Duplicate your layer. :DuplicateLayer: 4. Select the bottom layer and press Ctrl+A to select the whole layer. 5. Select the "Move Pixels" tool. 6. Press the arrow key on your keyboard to the right a few times, until you can see the shadow clearly. 7. Click "Adjustments > Hue/Saturation" and turn down Saturation and Brightness until you like the color of the shadow. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to tweak the way it looks. 9. Make sure you save the file as a .PDN before exporting it as a .PNG or .JPG so that you can make edits to the original later if needed! If you need help with any of those steps, feel free to ask!

I don't know how helpful we'd be in finding actual resources. If you're looking for help with specific procedures (aging the image and that sort of thing) I think we may be able to point you in the right direction, but we're really a forum about the program Paint.NET, not a general image editing forum. Someone else might prove me wrong, though. What are you trying to do? Do you have an example of the result you're looking to replicate?

But not more convenient to have to recreate a lossless image from scratch because you accidentally forgot to change from the default.

Woah! A rare MadJik sighting! Remember this moment, folks, and tell your grandkids all about the day you saw MadJik post on the forum.

Feel free! Please just link back to the first page of the tutorial. I'll even be happy to help if you have any questions about it!

I think I understood your request. Unfortunately, the plugin cannot access those functions.

Pixey goes with the 4-peat with this impressive tutorial for shiny objects with internal reflections (that is actually barely a "mini"-tut)!

As far as I'm aware, that's impossible. Plugins can't make those sorts of changes.

All right, this thread is going in circles. If Rick has any new information, he can unlock. Thanks all.

Not ridiculous, but also not likely. It's not something that could be added via plugins, so it would fall to the single developer on the project, and I very much doubt it would happen. As Toe said, it wouldn't really fit with the Windows look and feel. Welcome to the forums!

Well, Mozilla is a multimillion dollar corporation with thousands of paid employees, all of which helps them to maintain support and bandwidth for legacy versions of their program. In contrast, Paint.NET is developed by a single person, in his spare time, with no steady stream of income generated, and with only volunteers to provide support. So, apples to oranges.

Not possible by plugins; they can only do effects, adjustments, and filetypes. Not context menus. EDIT: By not possible, I meant the context menus. Good on you, toe, for jumping in so fast!

Not natively. You might look into a third-party program, but there is no functionality built-in.

He probably wasn't angry, just busy. And yes, he is the only developer, believe it or not!

Well, it's the only answer there is.

What is installing may actually be Windows 10; it installs the base of the OS, then silently downloads and installs updates in the background. Wait a little while and try again.
