  1. 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.

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

    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.

  3. EDIT EDIT: Well...someone just told me that my maniping these images is illegal, even with citing my sources. Could someone confirm or disprove this for me? :?

    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.

  4. You're ALL wrong. :P

    *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.

    Nice pic, by the way. Your own sun technique isn't very visible, although that might just be me. Keep up the good work! :)

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    Several exclusive rights typically attach to the holder of a copyright:

    * to produce copies or reproductions of the work and to sell those copies (mechanical rights; including, sometimes, electronic copies: distribution rights)

    * to import or export the work

    * to create derivative works (works that adapt the original work)

    * to perform or display the work publicly (performance rights)

    * to sell or assign these rights to others

    * to transmit or display by radio or video (broadcasting rights)

    The phrase "exclusive right" means that only the copyright holder is free to exercise those rights, and others are prohibited from using the work without the holders permission.

    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.
