[creating contract pict in Paint.net - how?]

Begin with the Rectangle Select tool  on a new layer – fill with color

Duplicate that layer – use the magic wand  to ‘select’ it and use the Move Selected Pixels Tool  to move it, then fill with the new color.  Repeat for 5 layers.

Thanks so much @Beta0 I used the Gradient Mapping to get those colors

 

@lynxster4 - Many thanks.  Yes, the Gradient Mapping made it look kind of silky, so I let it be

Thank you again @MJW - I used the Shape Maker to draw the shape of the tennis racquet, and thus used it as a 'stencil' to go back and forth and make the gradients.  The 'plugs' were just rounded ovals and maneuvered into place.

 

 

I'm really sorry that @DrewDale is upset and I can't really blame him.  It is a fact that we already have dwindling entries in our competitions.  I once suggested that the winner of a comp, sits the next one out, in order to give others a chance - but it wasn't agreed upon.

 

I am in touch with both @DrewDale and @LionsDragon to see how to go forward with this OOTF.

 

EDIT:  We are back on track and @DrewDale with start another thread

 

 

[how do I make a Water or paint dripping effect?]

Hello @nawavids.  Here is a tutorial that will give you an idea of how to go about doing this: 

 

There are also brushes you can bring into PDN and you can find them here.

[Object of the Fortnight - Discussion thread.]

I vote for @LionsDragon to pick the theme and then we can get this on the road again

[Filling in gaps???]

I know - sadly you'd have to fill in the gaps by hand!  Hope you find a solution soon

Old Banshee. 

 

I just tried it and it's a lot easier to use.  Thanks for the tip.

 

 

[Pixey's Gallery ~ Merry Christmas 2023 everyone.]

Thank you very much @Seerose

 

Again ................. flowers on the brain.

 

 

[Filling in gaps???]

Sorry I can't answer the question above but I looked at your original first post.  The not-lining-up will be a size discrepancy.  I cut your 4 images up to exactly 500 x 416 each and then lined up the river and the original and they matched.

 

 

Hopefully someone may be able to help you with the TileWorld question.

[[SOTW Discussion] Talk inside...]

My fault sorry.  What a difference one word makes .  It's official ..... I had a blonde/senior moment when reading Toey's post.

Is there any special reason the poll for 'Valentine’s Day' is open for two weeks, rather than the normal one week?

I'm not necessarily saying two weeks is bad; I'm just curious as to why.

 

If you go back to Page 76 in this Discussions Thread - June  16, 2017 - this is when it was decided, due to dwindling entries, to make it a fortnight.

[Transparent Background or White Background]

They are ALL perfectly transparent when opened in PDN

 

Are you 100% sure you saved them to PNG and not to JPEG?

 

Look what happens when I saved one of your images to JPEG and then brought it back into PDN.  It shows with a white background.

Thank you @MJW .  I hope your distractions are good ones.
