    Ok, this is my first post in the pictorum. I created this using the tut "Popping out of a picture". I got a lot of practice with PaintdotNet doing this pic, and this is one of my favorite tut's thus far. Thank you for making it :D

    I welcome everyone's opinion, so please feel free to comment, and if you see any mistakes, let me know. (I need all the help I can get lol)

    Excellent! Just like the "out of bounds" contest on Worth1000.

    May I make two suggestions?

    1. The shape you describe is a lot easier to make if you create a filled square on a new layer and then use Layers > Rotate/Zoom to move it to the desired angle. That way you can ensure that it will look angled correctly, and not crooked. (Yours looks fine, but I foresee problems with other people...)

    2. Feather. A lot. Every layer. It makes things look a lot cleaner and more natural.

    My attempt on this is coming soon...

    Anyway, I LOVE the tut! Great work.

    You were correct about problems with creating the shape David. Could you suggest the levels or amounts we should use in Rotate/Zoom? I am having a problem with this step and am stumped thus far. :?

    usually, you can create multiple layers and paste the pic over and over in different spots until you fill the screen

    then you merge them all together and do a motion blur until its blended nicely.

    then put your pic on top of it

    it usually works

    Ok, sounds good, is there a tut for something like that? I really need something to walk me through step by step. I find this whole process of learning this sometimes complicated as it is a lot to take in, but it is also becoming a lot of fun, and I really like PDN.

    Thanks for responding, I appreciate it. :D

    Hello all,

    Recently I have been adding pictures and/or backgrounds to poems that I write, but this was simple because I didn't edit the pics or create anything that I have added them to, I simply added text to the pic.

    Since then, I have been wanting to create my own backgrounds because sometimes they require something specific, and I find that I really need to create just the kind of pic, or background I need.

    Right now, I am working on adding something to a poem about Harley Davidson. I found a pic of a bike I want, and used paint.net to cut the bike out of the pic and this turned out great.

    Now, I am stuck because I am not sure how to create the rest of this picture. This is the first one I am attempting to do myself, and I know I don't want just a plain background, I think just the bike isn't enough with the text, but well, I just don't have enough experience or knowledge in graphics programs and at this point I could really use some pointers or suggestions, with a tut included if possible. :?

    I have included 2 of these poems that I have completed so that you can get an idea what I am doing.

    Does any one have any ideas or suggestions for me so that I can continue? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for reading, sorry such a long post. :)

    I read the info in the help section, and followed the directions, but still, I don't get how to use this tool. Could some one enlighten me as to how to use it please? Step by step if you can.

    I am very new to photo editing and/or graphics programs and at times it does get complicated. Thanks everyone :)
