  1. It's Valentine's Day people! Get those imaginations in gear!

    Hey guys I need to create some sort of Valentine's Day image (i.e. graphic w/ or w/out text). I've got a couple ideas and I thought to myself "Hey self, I'll ask the Paint.Net peeps if they have any ideas as well." So...as it's just around the corner...anyone have any ideas for a cool Valentine's Day graphic? Could be for anything!

    1. Here's what I did...create a new Paint.Net doc.

    2. Click on the circle select and draw a circle by holding down shift.

    3. Change your primary color to white and your secondary color to a dark brown.

    4. Click on Effects>Clouds. Turn the scale down a bit...the lower the scale the smaller the cloudy area...I used 184 and 50.

    5. Once clouds are on, add noise via the Effects>Add noise menu...I used 64 and 0.

    6. Motion blur that the direction you want it to go...I used 141 degrees and 22 px.

    7. Adjust the Brightness/Contrast under adjustments...I used -72 and 58.

    8. Gaussian blur @ 2 px.

    9. Add a layer of black/white clouds and set layer blending to overlay.

    By playing around with these settings, I'm sure you'd be able to make something close to that. Does this help at all?

  3. Hey all...I'm new to the forum but have been browsing it for about a week...ever since I became addicted to Paint.Net. No joke, I've been up till 3AM the last 5 days playing around with it. Just looking at some of the amazing stuff that people come up with can be pretty intimidating :shock: , especially for someone who's knowledge of image editing was limited to Macromedia Fireworks (good program, but...) and stuff. Layers, what?

    I almost didn't post anything here, but I thought what the heck, I'm a college student with tons of time and the only way I'll get better is to learn from the experts. So here's my current desktop background (smaller sized) and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what I could do to improve it? I kinda know how to do stuff, but I struggle with aesthetics.

    P.S. I think I accidentally broke rule #9 on the forums. Sorry Rick!
