2048*1600 inspired by one of the worst movies ever: The Devil Inside.

I haven't been posting here for a loooong time, mainly because I just don't have as much spare time as I had when I was fifteen. Anyway, every now and then I create something with Paint.NET, because messing around with graphics is still fun. Inspired by this website I wanted to make something similar with pdn, but I'm not quite happy with the result: http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/396326_324092480958198_100000723467114_1075643_730491834_n.jpg I made use oft the PencilSketch-Tool and a few other Plugins, but the "drawing" still doesen't look very drawingish in my opinion. Any suggestions how to create a better drawing-like image with pdn?

Hi everybody! I haven't been here for a loooong time and to be honest, I rarely mess around with PdN anymore. But one thing caught my attention: I've got a new iPod Touch (3g 32gb) and like u probably know, you can change the background of the lock screen. f.ex. As you can see there are these grey bars at the top and at the bottom. I suppose they work with any kind of transparency because you can still see the actual background image thereunder. I tried to extract the "apple lock screen" how it would look without any background image. I ended up with this: (watch it in pdn to see the alpha) But that "alpha image" just works correct with a white backround. When I put it over a other background image it doesen't look like the output of my ipod. Is there any way to get the "real" screen lock image i can put over a random background image and it always would look like...er...the ipod-way? (x Here are some screenshots I made from the lock screen with different backgrounds: (1. all black, 2. all white, 3. image)

Oh cool! My tut still exists! I haven't been here for a long time, so it makes me quite happy that a lot of people like those tiny, little orbs. ^^ @ LinTorX Try to solve this problem with different blurs and feathering! *goes on with taking a look around the forum*

@ Katastrophies, twenty-12, SCRN and GradensMommy thank you! I'm glad u like it! =)

well...where're u lost?

looks great BB00! My latest work out of moc426's tut: ______Back2Front______ ______.::[ click ]::._____

Thanks for all the positiv replies! I haven't posted for a while, but I'll condemn myself to be more active again! I'm pleased that a lot of people like my tut and get very neat results out of it! =)

improved version of my star ____Shiny Star____ ....:click |::.... and some photomanipulation: ______Steffi______ ....:click |::....

Just great! =)) The hilt looks really realistic! @ jake2k very classy images!

If I'm not mistaken, the "Conditional Hue/Saturation" plugin won't work with black!?

_____Dead Silence____ .........:click |::......... little photomanipulation (in the cjmcguinness-style =D ) edit cool...200th post! x)

The Crop to Selection function does only adjust the image to the current selection: Ctrl+Shift+X -> Therefore it's disabled when there's no selection active. In case you want to resize an image, you better use Ctrl+R.

Clouds, Add Noise, Tiles Reflection (426, 8, 16), Brightness/Contrast (just a quick one)

Really cool!! edit i like ur current sig as well!

I can see a lot use of Sine Waves! =D Very cool! Not too bad! :shock:

LOL! That's what we germans call a "Glockenspiel"

that are shortcuts, which simplify a lot steps of the procedure. [strg.] + [.I] f.ex. inverts the selection. Certainly, the shortcuts weren't supposed to be SO small! That's a probem of the new forume which I forgot to fix -> [size=9][i][strg.] + [shift] + [R][/i][/size] that came out (in the old forum) as sth like this -> [strg.] + [shift] + [R] code -> [size=85][i][strg.] + [shift] + [R][/i][/size] size=85 instead of size=9! That's why everything is so tiny! But I'll fix it right now. ^^ ___edit___ done!

yep ^^' my bad...

It's a plugin. -> Shadow effect plugin (like Google Maps) -> download .dll

Not too bad! You could smoothe the edges from your objects a bit and maye add some shadow! ___edit___ ouh, now that's cool! Thank you sooo much Ash! =)))

I just selected the red area, inverted the selection and deleted the messed up, black border, then I used the Feather Plugin and added some Drop Shadow

Select the area you want to get rid of and try Surface Blur. :wink: ___edit___ right, Soften Portrait works as well
