Wither

I think per image may be a little excessive. One per author would do just fine in my opinion.

Hmm... I see what you mean. And thinking about it, it makes sense to have a better display area. ... Um, I still stand by my earlier derogatory remarks, but I agree that this would be a good idea. So long as it's monitored properly.

Hmm... I think it's a good idea, but I'm not sure if it's right for this forum. This board's main purpose is Paint.NET discussion, troubleshooting, etc. Not showcasing stuff made with Paint.NET. That's not to say it isn't a good idea, I'll stop shooting it down now. :wink:

I'm working on a very large, computer taxing, picture... Here's where I am on the manor that will be in it. I'm stuck on vegetation. Any hints on making bushes? The tip of the roof won't be visible in the final image. And on the subject of Terragen... Yay shading!

This is my new piece I'm working on. I wouldn't call it halfway done yet. >_> It's been fun! ...Though I don't think I'll ever work on a 3264x2448 picture again anytime soon. ... ... So. Much... Lag.... My poor computer must hate me now.

I'm going to start drawing something that looks really cool in my head. We'll see how well it turns out when I put it on the canvas. :wink: I wanted clouds with more depth than the default Clouds. These are just a test, but it's pretty close to how I imagine real clouds. http://eulogy-dignity.deviantart.com/ar ... y-74501042

Does this make Paint.NET less useless to you? viewtopic.php?f=15&t=22096 Write your text on a new layer to rotate it. Simple as that. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm glad you approve.

Hmm... You could do that with bright gradients and Layer Blend Modes (overlay comes to mind for the skull especially). As far as something that makes detailed glyphs or a super detailed skull like that... well... that's where your own artistic skill comes in. :shock:

I want to enter soon because it looks like a lot of fun! But I want to be clear on a few things. Allowed Effects [*:4ns90t14]What's 'non-dominating' in your opinion? (As the contest creator it's mostly your decision, I feel.) Faking It [*:4ns90t14]Are layer blend modes, transparency, Rotate/Zoom, or otherwise 'advanced' layer effects allowed? (For example, you could make a reflection without any effects. All you'd need to do duplicate the layer, flip it, then lower the transparency) That's about all I can think of. Everything else is clear.

Makes me think of the cigarettes I tried awhile back. http://eulogy-dignity.deviantart.com/ar ... k-71555430 Very nice! See the Surgeon General's warning on the side of mine.

Good morning all! That laptop I made yesterday had too much 'meh' in it. So I decided to redo it. http://eulogy-dignity.deviantart.com/ar ... g-74342215 I'm not 100% happy with the reflection, but I couldn't get it with 'Wet Floor' or by faking it myself. Enjoy!

This is pretty neat. I always love getting new distortion effects. One thing though, could you make it with an option to remove the original background? (colored red here for emphasis)

That's a fantastic piece. It almost looks 3D at the tips. Good work. It's very very large though. Could you instead post a link when your picture is larger than ... say, 900x900 px?

It took me a second to figure out what you were asking, but try pasting the flower on a new layer (Ctrl + Shift + V). That should clear the transparent problem right up.

Looks transparent to me. Check your settings? Maybe there's an option to disable transparency in .png pictures.

I'll officially retract my earlier statement. I was going through the Personalization menu. I didn't even think about right-clicking the file itself ... *cough*

Or GIF, BMP, or PNG files, though PNG doesn't look good when resized or stretched by Windows via Desktop Properties. In my defense, I'm still thinking of Vista. (I seem to have forgotten many of the ways of XP) Strangely enough, Vista only allows .bmp and .jpg to be set as backgrounds. >_>

The .dll is in the Paint.NET > Effects folder and it still doesn't appear in the Adjustments menu? I don't know what the problem could be, especially if you're running 3.20/3.22. Are you sure it's in the right folder and unzipped?

I was trying for crumpled paper. I did it! Now I just have to figure out how to make the lines (or whatever else might be on the picture) look crumpled too. >_> (100% PdN)

Backgrounds have to be .jpg files. A .pdn can't be used for anything besides saving layer information for Paint.NET. Does that answer your question?

Hey! A laptop! The pattern was based on the request here. (I drew the Apple logo myself)

That's a pretty sweet abstract you've got going there. Welcome to the forums! Hope to see more from you.
