Wow, how rude. You don't just walk into someone's gallery and state, "Oh, you suck. I think that other guy is way better than you." Seriously.

First of all, you should post plugin problems into the respective plugin's thread so that the author can more effectively find and learn about these problems. Secondly, the problem is caused by a new rendering ... thingy (ask someone else, I'm not too sure) that Rick implemented in the latest version. It also happened to Feather, but BoltBait has already fixed that. I'm guessing the author hasnt had the time to fix this plugin yet.

You cannot enlarge it with Paint.NET without losing sharpness. I suggest you vectorize it in Inkscape (Google it), and then you can resize it infinitely.

Aw man. I think I'm like, an hour late or something. Darn it. Oh well, I'll post my submission for the heck of it. If I'm not disqualified, great! But if I am ... no worries. I went for a more ... simple ... theme here. One stock.

It seems the entry thread has caused some confusion. Within the actual post, it states that this week's theme is Fire and Ice, while the header and title say Nature and Technology. Apparently, heythere thought the theme was fire and ice, thus his entry does not actually follow this week's theme.

Even better. There's a water reflection plugin, which automates the process for you! Use the forum's search function set to the Plugins forum to find it.

First of all, read the rules. You have posted this in the wrong forum. The Pictorium is a place to post your created works, NOT for questions about Paint.NET. A more suitable place for this would be General Discussion and Questions. As per your question, you're looking for the Photo Flood plugin, use the search function to locate it.

Actually, the alpha value of your primary color determines how much the eraser removes, transparency-wise.

It's harder to tell on image hosters such as Photobucket or Imageshack. If you can, contacting the owner is the best way. Sites such as Flickr and DeviantArt will have licensing info. Flickr also has this nifty option to search only within Creative Commons in its Advanced Search.

1) Read the rules. Do not bump your own thread, unless it has been twenty-four hours since posting, and nobody has replied. 2) The tutorials can be found in the Tutorials section of this forum.

Wait, are you still in Jr high? Only reason I ask is that the last time I remember going over stars and suchlike was 6th grade (a while back for me...)and you beat me to the explanation. Anyways, pretty cool pic dude/dudette. I attempted something similar, but got distracted and came up with some acidic looking metal...o_O? I also got an umbrella! Just finished middle school. We learned astronomy and such in 8th grade. Going into high school in a week.

I see wireframes. I think. :shock: Colors and light effects are great!

Depends. When looking for stock images, you have to make sure that the picture is properly licensed. Specifically, you can only use pictures licensed under Creative Commons, and ones that do not have the No Derivatives attribute. Make sure to look for other attributes of the CC license, such as attribution (citing), share alike (licensing your derivative under the same license), et cetera. All images under copyright can NOT be used. EDIT: I think this would fall under Image Manipulation. Anatomical reference.

I concur. You must tell us how you achieved that effect!

No ... I just happen to memorize and remember things really well. Nothing wrong with knowledge.

Haha, I remember that all from just this past school year.

You're ALL wrong. *rubs hands together* Prepare to get schooled. When small to medium sized stars, such as our sun, run out of fuel, they near the end of their life. Then, the star rapidly cools and expands, turning into a Red Giant. After its fuel source is completely depleted, it gradually collapses on itself, turning into a white dwarf. Large stars, on the other hand, prefer to go out with a bang. At the end of their life, they implode, and create a HUGE explosion, or a supernova. After the supernova, all that is left is an incredibly small point of EXTREME density, heat, and pressure. This small point, can either be a black hole, or a neutron star. If it is a revolving neutron star, it is called a pulsar. [/geek] Nice pic, by the way. Your own sun technique isn't very visible, although that might just be me. Keep up the good work!

Nope, this is impossible. Making an image from small to big will reduce quality by a lot. The extra pixels created by resizing will have to be interpreted by the computer, which draws on information from nearby pixels. This makes it blurry. It's like creating something from nothing, which is not possible. Vector imaging, however, can be resized infinitely, but there is a limit to how much detail you can put into a vector, and Paint.NET does not support vectors.

Probably PSP.

This isn't directed at just aeonix, I've seen some other people do this too: When you take an image you like, and you want to do something with it, you MUST check the licensing first. The image that you chose, aeonix, is copyrighted. Taking a copyrighted image and making derivatives is technically illegal, unless you obtain the creator's consent. That's why, when searching for stocks, you should only be looking for pictures licensed under Creative Commons, and pay special attention to the type of CC license, because some do not allow derivatives.

Here they are. http://maj1n.deviantart.com/art/C4D-WIR ... 2-59094953 http://maj1n.deviantart.com/art/C4D-WIR ... 1-59093096 http://stinky666.deviantart.com/art/Emt ... k-84136655 http://stinky666.deviantart.com/art/Wir ... 5-85114539

I actually didn't go to PR for the wireframes, I got them off of deviantArt. I'll see if I can dig up the links and I'll edit them into this post.

Hey look! Another sig!

Oh, no, I just cut it out of the Paint.NET logo. Thank you.
