It's fixed! Thanks for the help.

Okay I've read all the posts about the problems/fixes for getting this to work and it's still a no go for me. Do I unzip the plugin and put it in the effects folder like I did in the past? What should the folder structure look like? My folder structure looks like this: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\Vandermotten.PaintDotNet.Effects Inside the Vandermotten.PaintDotNet.Effects folder I have: Properties (folder) Resources (folder) Vandermotten.PaintDotNetEffects.Samples.dll src.V3.2.zip (zip file) Vandermotten.PaintDotNet.Effects.sln Vandermotten.PaintDotNetEffects.Blurs.dll Vandermotten.PaintDotNetEffects.dll Vandermotten.PaintDotNetEffects.DropShadow.dll Vandermotten.PaintDotNetEffects.Duotones.dll Vandermotten.PaintDotNetEffects.FadeEdge.dll Vandermotten.PaintDotNetEffects.Monochromes.dll I have no 'compatible' folder as mentioned in another post. I downloaded the plugin from the direct link. I am using v3.35 of pdn and running WinXP if it's relevant. Do I have to register the dlls? I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance.

I didn't think so but thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Can you do it? Say you have an irregular shape, like the shape of California, and you wanted to have the word 'California' written within the shape, but conforming to the shape....is that possible with paint.net? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the replies. I think that will work!

I'm trying to figure out how to make 'bling' text. I want it to look something like this: http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/ ... amonds.htm Thanks in advance!
