@Mrt3991

Just a suggestion. But I feel it gives text a bit more pizazz, if you will.

If you put your text in a layer of its own, then duplicate the layer containing the text. Then add a bit of glow to the bottom text layer, it gives the text a bit more imphasis.

You may already know how to do this, I apoligize. I just thought I would make the suggestion.

Edit: Doing this will give you somthing along the lines of the text in this sig.

The layers window should look somthing like this.

Layer 2: colored text (any color you like)

Layer 2: colored text (any color you like) with a bit of glow.

Background: Image you wish to lay under your text.

Once again, that is just a suggestion. Heed it, or not, just a suggestion.

Edit:

@stefTACULAR I like both of your sigs. Old, and new.

:wink:

Thanks Moc...

Ash that is great!

The reflections could use just a tad bit of work, but that is really good.

Sorry about taking your lightbulb idea. haha:P

I'm, going to start working on a spark plug today. I'm not stepping on any toes there am I?

I feel that I hang out in this thread too much.

But I like looking at everyone else's work.

Nice job Trooper.

:wink:

[To all the authors, thank you]

I agree!

:wink:

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

Thanks Ash, coming from you that means quite a bit to me.

@moc

Nice, effective use of plugins.

Inspiration struck me when I hit the switch this morning. :idea:

Sort of ironic...

Hope this helps.

At the least it should help you get started.

Thanks a lot!

Here is a link to the panorama version of the "fantastical, vaulted, water-filled catacomb".

I hope Trooper doesn't mind me using his line.

My one a day...

This has to be the best image I have put out in quite sometime now.

Quite possibly "ever".

:wink:

Edit: "Nice cursors usedhonda."

[Make a "Wave" with Paint.NET]

Great tutorial!

The possibilities are absolutely endless!

:wink:

Welcome paran.

Nice work by the way.

:wink:

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

Thanks Ash, i'll work on that.

You always seem to have positive criticism.(which I need without a doubt.)

Thanks for that.

Nice work Trooper.

Has anyone ever taken pictures of the stars with a really long shutter speed so that the stars are elongated?

Suggestions?

:wink:

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

Nice work Oma.

I would like to second what you said about improving if you maintain an open mind and try new things often.

And once again, nice work!

:wink:

CMD:

Paint.NET is an photo manipulation program as much as it is an graphic creation program, probably more so.

I like the contrast range photos (or in this case, rendered photo-realistic images) give, and it's nearly impossible to re-create that dynamic digitally. I feel justified in using it because photo manipulation is one of Paint.NET's "selling-points", if you will. Up 'til now, The Sketchpad has rather ignored that aspect of it.

What do you guys think?

I agree...

:wink:

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

Ash!

Once agian, you have blown me way.

Great job!

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

Like oma said, this is my 'one a day'...

She looks sort of animated. I don't really mind it though.

Suggestions?

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

do you know I was out to my favourite chinese restaurant for lunch yesterday with some gals I used to work with and found my mind wandering. I was thinking I bet I could replicate that bamboo wall over there in paint net ever so easily with the 3d tube .....but how do I do the cross rings...... had to snap myself back to the group real quick before I missed out on the juicy gossip.

haha I can relate.

Wow, can I ever. haha :wink:

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

Wow!

Oma beautiful work!

I know what you mean about being addicted. :wink:

It's to the point now, that I am looking for things to do other than mess with PDN all day. I feel i'm rotting away...

Welcome.

Nice images...

[Cropping Photographs - The Rule of Thirds]

@Marko

You may have a point there. But as long as you can achieve the desired effect by complying to this "rule of thirds" I doubt it matters how you go about doing it. When I learned this rule in the compositon portion of an art class I took, I was taught to draw those lines and later eliminate them.

"Between you and I... I never did draw the lines." :wink: But I did adhere to the principle.

[Cropping Photographs - The Rule of Thirds]

@Ben

That is a good question...

I wonder that myself...

Along with other things that we do without noticing. :wink:
