Trooper made me feel like "tip-toeing through the tulips" so here goes the yellow lillies from my flower bed, to bad they were either white or pink last year (I have never grown yellow lillies)......
That's a really nice pic. Do you have some sort of macro lens or setting on your camera? Every time I try to get in close like that, my subject blurs -- and I'm using the "macro" mode on my point-and-click digicam.
Hmmph. That's probably an answer in itself...
I have a Cannon PowerShot A630. On the Flowers I used the Portrait setting and I used the Macro (little flower image on the screen) too. I have found using a tripod will stop my camera from shaking when doing the really closeup photos. A tripod worked well for the lillies since they are about 2 1/2 feet tall. I have some pictures that didn't blur out the background like they were suppose to so I have used the Portrait plugIn of PDN to get it even better.
By the way I am new to the camera also - forgive me for my lack of terminology use.
Thanks for the info. I haven't been in a position to try my tripod as I'm usually walking around with the camera somewhere when I take photos. I'll have to drag the tripod out in the yard today, weather permitting, and see what I can do.
No worries on the technical jargon, I wouldn't know what you were talking about if you used it.

Here is the flower again--honestly it started out that way-- with a little Kalidascope and I threw in some Polar Conversions. If Oma wants to Omafy this she is more than welcome.........
I think you've almost Oma'd it yourself. It sort of reminds me of those (I think) Indian religious patterns that represent the universe.
...what *are* those things called?

a little hint about me
I like all things Asian influenced and I collect antique glass and patterned plates.
this is part of a larger picture and still requires a bit of touching up. some feathering an I have to move the green bowl down to the shelf and some of the wood work needs pixel painting yet.
but for now a taste of what I'm working on.
I like the image, Oma. The hutch/cabinet has much more attention to detail than I could sit still for. Salute!

@zookey oh this is a great dragon really love it. great colors bright but not your basic primary red, blue and yellow and green
Wonderful!
@mustang that eyeball is tooo real creeps me out.
@trooper that is a good image I'm liking the negative look of this one.
Thanks, Oma. I think I'm gonna play with the original of that image for a while -- the raindrops really make me want to do *something* with that image.
-
just messing around and i came up with this
I like this. It's like some weapon from the 'Blade' movies. Good job.
-
That's really cool Trooper. I guess i haven't played with all the plug-ins or is that negative affect from the properties of the layers? I haven't played with that part of PDN yet.
I'm pretty sure there is a "negative colors" thrown in there somewhere as well as multiple other plugins. Honestly, I did quite a bit, so I don't remember all the steps off the cuff. Feel free to d/l the .pdn from my sight and go through it, however. I try to put them all up (the .pdn's) when I post, and sometimes there's potential material in some of the layers.
-
Tried my hand at a bit more photo editing and came up with this. Seems a bit more creating than editing, but it was a lot of fun using the plugins on an actual subject versus my usual Creation-at-Random.
I'd wanted something more fantasy-like. Softer, too. I think I'll continue to work with this for a while.
The .pdn for this file is up and available on my site, click the sig.

Here is something I did today while playing with plug-ins. I think I have downloaded and installed every dll file made for Paint.Net now.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
I know it could be better........ That is such a sad looking dragon (well it is suppose to be a dragon)
That's a pretty creative way to make wings. I *like* the image.
-
something a bit different from me. I am generally drawen towards abstract art, and things with loads of pattern. Here I was just messing around to see what I can do on a still life.
all 100% PDN
Oma, that is amazing. You did that all "freehand" in PDN? Amazing! Did you use a tablet?

I scaned a coloring book to get the outline of the ship.
I used the seamless helper to do this. How about that Mariner Star, I used the poly/star effect.
I had a little trouble with the inside outline, oh well, I did learn from it.
I think I will try an eyeball today.
Thanks for the kind words.
I really like the style you're developing. Your art reminds me a lot of water color and the style and palette brings to mind illustrations from children's books -- soft, bright colors that catch the eye and interest.
Good job. Looking forward to seeing more.

Began working through the "Let's make a chain" tutorial tonight, forged a link, and started throwing random plugins at it. Wound up with this:
Sort of like a singularity in some sort of cage. And, yep, I really need some inspiration.
On a side note, someone had posted an image showing the sun ray effects degraded about the edges. I think I may have accidentally figured out how that was done. I used the cloud effect and then selectively colored some areas in. The image .pdn is on my page -- actually fairly small file this time.
-
Sorry 'bout the depression, but I really like that image. Looks like ink in water. How'd you get that effect?
tnx.. well i started off using madjik's tree plug in (forgot the amounts though, just make it big and have lots of branches).
then i used the polar inversion effect (made it look like the pattern you see..)
then i duplicated the layer 3 times:
==one is for the dents effect
==one for zoom blur delux(zoom is at top right corner)
==one for some gaussian blur.
(just play with the amounts and experiment)
make sure that the original layer is at the top.
then added some radial blur as a backround.
there you have it!
~~made this reply real quick (cause im at school), if you have questions, just pm me. k?
Thanks. I haven't played with the tree plugin yet and now I've got a reason. Again, well done.

from this image
carried on to this image
That's a great combo of images. I really like your pattern building. Did you do a cut-out from the original image to get the arrow shapes?
-
depression + inspiration =
oh yeah, there's a hidden msg behind...
:wink:Sorry 'bout the depression, but I really like that image. Looks like ink in water. How'd you get that effect?

@trooper: I like the bubble!
Thanks, Ash.
-
those were just little shots of the thought process to arrive at the first in a series of dark world texture shots.
this is second one from series.
Whoa. That I like as well. The Tunnel of Love it is not
...kind of like the entrance to Metal Hell.
I like this theme you have going.
-
can't recall exactly what I did as I've worked on this over several weeks
steps were something like this
that's a sphere shape there and little tilt/zoom on layer beleive I set to tile it on the zoom.
:wink:
It's a really great picture; I like it. Thanks for the improv tutorial, too. I'm going to give some of the steps a shot -- I don't think I've really used some of the layer adjustments. The initial image you used to create this was interesting in itself just for the change in perspective, I think.
-
I like that image trooper, it looks like "The Tunnel of Love: Death Style"
Thanks! I appreciate it. It's kind of amazing what you can do with PDN. That image started out as 4 squiggles of two different colors.
-
I like that, Oma. Here's my variation on the theme:
Bubbles and tunnels --
The colors turned out a bit drab, but in my defense I has just gotten home from work this morning.
How did you get the "window" or "hole" effect in the main shape? Was it kind of "luck of the function" or did you plan that out?
As always. .pdn on my site (large file).
-
Thanks I was wondering whether to use that as my sig.......
It's a great image, Ares. I'd hate to have to choose between your sig now and making one from that image. Tough choice as both are interesting and unique images.
-
Sorry, was bored this morning...
Peek-a-boo.

My new Ubuntu wallpaper:
I'm using it right now!
Did you compile PDN under [miguel's version of .net, whatchamacallit] or are you using wine, etc? Or just dual booting Windows? I'd like to know if it's possible to get PDN running "natively".

This picture is of the flowers on my deck. very amature compared to troopers photo manipulations but don't worry I'll get the hang of it soon.
Hardly amateur. I think the photo is well done.
:wink:
RGB color channels in a layer or image
in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Posted
Is it possible to access the individual color channels in a layer or image? I've looked through everything I can think of, but I just can't find a way to do it. Maybe it hasn't been implemented at this time?
