Sozo

I like it, and I actually looked into it when I first started doing the SOTW. If I can find some good images, I might institute it.

What do you mean by price tags? The prize ribbon idea?

Maybe it's a UAC error then, I don't know.

Try right clicking on Paint.NET and running as admin. I wonder why it does that? Paint.NET shouldn't require elevation to run. I wonder if there was an install error?

Good entries so far.

All the tutorials are still here, you just need to find them again. Rick had a lot of good reasons to move the forums, some of which he outlined in his blog.

We recently moved our forum, so the old links don't work. I'll PM David about updating the links in this thread, and I'm glad it helped you. Regarding the shawl, the Hue and Saturation adjustment, or possibly the Conditional Hue and Saturation Plugin might help you.

So, I've been messing more with my space image. I can't decide which color scheme to go with. Perhaps I'll develop both. Any thoughts or recommendations so far?

Congrats csm725 Explanation: For this week's competition, Mike Ryan has chosen the subject What Inspires You? Essentially, make a signature depicting what inspires you to make art. What genres, artists, or artworks, etc give you inspiration? Or better yet, what makes you roll yourself out of bed every morning? As usual, you must link to any photos or renders that you use. It'd be great if you share with us the name(s) of the fonts used (if any). Basically, all the normal rules still apply. The deadline for this competition is 23:59 (11:59pm) (EST) on Sunday, May 2nd. To see the current time in EST (my time), click here (WorldTimeServer.com). Check the SOTW Rules! If your entry breaks any of the rules it will be disqualified. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Max sig dimensions follow the board's max sig dimensions, 500x200. NOTE: The forum limits signatures to 500x150, so if it's too large don't try to use it as your sig. No crude / offensive language, pics, et cetera. Sig must follow the set theme. Only one entry per person and no modifications to your image are allowed after submitting your entry. You must post the URLs to any and all stock images used in your sig. You are allowed one post in this topic. That post should include your sig, links to your source images. Placeholders (empty-posting now, editing in a link to your sig later) are not permitted. Don't use signatures you have used in a previous competition, and don't use one you made a long time ago. The idea is to get you to create new things, and if you're digging back in your storehouse of unused signatures, you're not doing that. Note also that the winner of the current SOTW gets to choose the subject for the next competition! ------------------------------------------------------------------ This thread is for posting your entries only! If you wish to talk about one of the entries you can do so here. If a comment or other non-entry post is mistakenly made in this thread, it will be moved without penalty to the discussion thread. Just don't be surprised when it magically jumps over there. Good luck all, and thanks for participating!

The comp hosts have thrown this idea around. We'll see where it goes.

If i were to guess: what inspires you to make art? What genres, artists, or artworks, etc give you inspiration?

All right then, I should have it up tomorrow.

I kinda like the inspiration idea.

Results are in, congrats MR, thanks for participating everyone!

Now. I wil tally up the votes after I get out of classes. (I'm in class now)

If you are using the vignette plugin, be aware that it doesn't work on a purely transparent layer. To achieve that effect, use the vignette plugin on a new layer, completely white, then set the layer to multiply. EDIT: This should also fix the problem you just described.

Sorry about that. We recently moved to this new forum, and all the links from the new forum are broken.

Welcome to our wonderful forum! I'd like to direct you to our dedicated new member greeting thread in the Grand Theory of Everything.

Poll is up now. Events conspired against me, and my dorm's internet was down Saturday and Sunday.

It was before, but the image tags weren't functioning properly.

Right above Mike Ryan's, I do believe.

Thank you MR. Entry really is closed now.

Submit it quick, before I set the poll up!
