Copy and paste it onto your image, probobly on a new layer so you can move it around.

The brushed metal effect looks good on the metal, but it looks like a little too much to have it on everything else. Maybe some faint clouds or something else would look good.

You can write plugins in c++ I belive. Theres no tuts or anything on doing that, because most everyone here uses c#. You could probobly build off of these tuts, because c++ and c# arnt all too different.

You want to put a picture of somebody into an already existing photo? Ok, to do that, open the background or where you want them to be. Then in the layers drop down box up on the top, click "import from file". I think that opens in a new layer. If not, open a new layer and then do that. You will need the picture of the person to just be the person. Using the eraser and magic wand, remove the background of that image, leaving only the person. You could try this tutorial to do that. Then, on layer 1, you should have the place you want them to be, and layer 2, the person. You can make any adjustments you want from here. And also, change the title of this thread to something more specific, such as "Adding a person to a picture" or something that relates to what you want like that.

For the os pack, theres programs where you can skin the logon screen. You dont have to do that, but it would be really cool if you did.

Im not quite sure what your saying. If your trying to flip an image, theres something for that in the layers drop down box up on the top. If you want to rotate it, try using the rotate/zoom tool in the layers option at the top.

Yea, my second vote goes towards winamp.

There not that much more advance. I didnt know we could vote for two, so I voted for one then hit submit. I dont know if I can vote for a second one now! I dont see how.

Looks good. Nice and 3Dish. The clouds background seems a little bit plain though.

This has been asked countless times before. http://www.searchpaint.net Search before creating a new topic.

You either use codelab (in the plugin section) or a c# compiler (ex. visual studio) to create plugins. BB has made 2 plugin tutorials in the tut section. BTW, what search are you using. The forum search, or searchpaint.net ? The second one is a lot better. EDIT: Ok, Here you go. Theres a link to the second tutorial in the bottom of his post. Just to let you know though, his tutorial is assuming that you already know some c#. You should spend some time trying to learn it before attempting these tutorials or writing a plugin.

Making your eyes bleed is bad, mkay?

Great job Shuedini. Looks nice and sharp. It blends with the eye perfectly.

Yea, I agree with ash. Not exactly galaxy-like, but still cool. That glow you've got around it looks really good.

Yea, thats a ton better. Nice and sharp.

Well the image still looks really good. Small, but good.

Yea, I agree. If you redo the text or sharpen it, it would look a ton better. I like it tripdocter. The background blends together pretty nicely. The clouds seem a little too solid though.

Do we not vote for themes anymore, or am I just never around? But anyways, ill enter in this one. Ive got a good idea for jerbert.

Yea, I noticed that too Rick. If they had a better UI, that program would be a lot better than it is now. That artical made a good point. By the time you learn the GIMPS UI, you would have already mastered other programs. Its a powerfull program, but with a steep learning curve. The day I installed paint.NET, everything just seemed to be in a nice, logical order. Although we dont have as much features, the UI is way better. The UI doesnt really make all too much a difference, but for something that unorginized, I would much rather just start using a different program. If I really needed all those features that GIMP and others have, I would just go out and buy paint shop pro or something. A lot better UI, and more features. PdN really fits what I need a graphics program to do.

Yea, nothing wrong with a little more advertising. He didnt really put in all that good a word for pdn, but: And that spike I pointed out put us pretty far ahead of the GIMP.

Man, im having a really hard time keeping up with this plugin. It just keeps getting updated so much. For a future suggestion, how about a couple new shapes? IE Cone, pyramid, annulus, or some stuff like that?

The edges of the paint.net logo seem really choppy in the prosilver theme.

window/reset window locations. Or better yet, use search.

It doesnt blur the edges, unless you set it on a really high value. It smooths the edges. The box does look pretty cool though. The text on the bottom is a little hard to read because its so dark though. And also, If you had something on the side instead of just black, it would make it look a lot better.

Needs some feather IMO.
