Well when you paste in the new ones, they ought to overwrite the old ones anyway. As long as you're updating, you shouldn't have to manually delete anything.

Yeah, no problem

Most plugin authors have edited their plugins to be compatible for the new release. You just need to redownload their packs.

I'm not trying to be hostile here Viking. Plugins aren't possible for tools in Paint.NET, it would have to be implemented differently such as some of Simon or pyrochild's plugins. Since Simon is the one who suggested you write it yourself, it's reasonable to say this would be an extremely difficult feat. Like I've already said, and you've pointed out, use the program - actually learn some of it - you will see it is really extremely easy to do what you are asking for.

Don't shout. If you put some time into learning something, it becomes easier as you go. Just because it isn't automated doesn't mean it is difficult.

How, and where? For the Top corner? Sound like it might be interesting. EDIT: Never mind, I understand what you are saying. Yes, this function could definitely come in handy, I just dodn't know how easy it would be to implement.

Give it a try Viking, play with the program for 15 minutes and you'll see what Simon is suggesting.

Paint.NET has a variety of selection tools, but that tutorial, or Alpha Masking, are going to be your best bets for cutting out images.

There's an old legacy tutorial about making scotch tape, you might want to ask a mod to reopen it so you can read it.

Bjarni - did you make that entire image in Paint.NET? Or did you use a stock? Those cracks are fantastic! Soka that's a very sweet effect you've got going on there - maybe add a glow?

Sharp: (Almost done, 3 hours in now) flip: Give it a try - I'm sure like you said, that it's doable. Oh, and I would darken the left side of the planet - make the lighting more dramatic.

Oooh 100% PDN? (please say yes) Gives me ideas too - kind of mixing Abstract Windows Vista art with realistic Space art.... hmmm....

You're welcome Jove. And by the way, ike EER said, you might have some troubles if your starting image is excessively small. To fix that, I recommend using an external program such as SmillaEnlarger.

You should edit your thread title to something more descriptive, as right now it is breaking the forum rules. However, to answer your question, yes, Paint.NET has an adjustable DPI when you create a new document or by going to Image > Resize with your document open.

Haha, thanks Splicit, it was not problem at all I like your newest sig by the way - cool distort

Thank you very much Rick, and all of the plugin developers as well!

I love your new sig set Sozo - so stylish - seems straight out of Mass Effect Superb starfield, BTW - such depth

Alright, it's up to you - after all it is your gallery

You're welcome Well you're looking at speed, so I think the font should match that kind of tone. I'm not sure, browse some fonts on http://www.dafont.com, you should be able to find some suitable ones. I'm sure all the tag makers on here will also be able to give input towards the font choice, but here are some that might work: Erthquake Crash Batmos Pulse Again, I'm no expert here, but I think some of these might work you. When placing them on your sig, I would move the text and make it more central - off in the corner how it iskind of distracts the focus from your render.

Oh, you're welcome, just keep in mind you're probably going to have to re-upload your files to a hoster like Imageshack or Photobucket. By the way, to get thumbnails for imageshack, you use the original "big version" url and just add a ".th" before the end of your picture name, for example: With photobucket, you instead put the "th" before the file name, so I don't know if the hosting site you are currently using provides these features, so you might want to change over.

Briamoth: I'd have to say your flow there is spot on - very rare for a beginner You might want to think about your text placement and font - it seems they kind of clash with the overall theme. Maybe make the text smaller and change up the font. Otherwise, great job! Vignette gives your a circle, he drew an oval shape. But yeah, it would come pretty close and not compromise the composition. _____ Cool tut Shock! Very nice for beginners - plenty of detail in there, good job.

You might also want to consider adding a border to your signature. Think about depth as well - for example - is the text part of the 'fiery wall'? Or is it in front of it? You might want to try to use the smudge tool or some other kind of distort to make some fire come up in front of the text as well - as if were erupting. Overall, not bad for a very amateur sig, it just needs more work

Bdjony, you accidentally deleted the opening tag from your thumbnail, that's why your link is broken.

Thanks By the way, In noticed you added tags to your first post. If you did this to create menus, then you're fine. However, if you are trying to just cut down on scrolling space, you might want to consider using clickable thumbnails instead. Here's how (in case you don't know): Hidden Content: The code for them works like this: [url="Large image URL"][img="Thumbnail URL"][/url] So, in practice, if I wanted to make "Peace" a clickable thumbnail, I would use that code: [url=http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7343/peaceq.jpg][img=http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7343/peaceq.th.jpg][/url] (Done by re-uploading to Imageshack) and get: ^Click for larger version^

I like your stuff Splicit - you have a good sense of style - nice and diverse starting off is a good thing. Keep it up
