Best tut ever! I tried making a few ... They kinda turned out bad, but this is BY FAR the best tut. ^I kinda made this one too big... And a logo I made for my site: ^I know its bad.

I will do that david.

haha, same. Thats what I did.

Thanks pyro. It hasn't happened again yet...and my computer is running fine again, so I'll just ignore it. I talked to my dad (who loves PdN, actually he was the one that told me to get it) and he said it's fine, it just crashed (like my Windows Vista always used to do )

Just rebooted my pc, and its running a lot faster, but I still don't get it...

I don't understand...I just noticed a file (notepad file) named "pdncrash"...I opened it, and this is what came up: This text file was created because Paint.NET crashed.

Thanks to anyone who can help. Oh, and I can't remember my PdN crashing........

Wow, I like this a lot. I will post my result maybe soon..

Very nice! I shall try it very soon.

@ Myrddin -> Thanks! I will check out both and see which one I prefer! I am starting to love Paint.NET more and more everyday!!

I gotchya. But it sucks because when I use the wand to get rid of the black background so I can add effects to it, there's still little black bits sticking out of the image, if you know what I'm talking about. I used the Feather effect, and it helped a little bit, but there still is sharp (and jaggedy) edges on my render.

Oh, so I copy and paste the render onto my Paint.NET layer?

I know that, but can you download them say off of http://www.planetrenders.com and then put them into your "Effects" folder in Program Files...I'll check it out right now anyways. Thanks.

Alright, I was wondering if there is a way to download renders, because I noticed that when I went to Effects -> Renders that there were a few ones there already. Is it possible to download renders? I know how to install plug-ins, but I want to be able to download renders. Oh, and I also noticed that when I downloaded the Ed-Harvey effect package or whatever, there was like 5 new renders in Effects -> Renders. Thanks in advance.
