[Dull & Grayscale+]

Either I'm a total idiot, or my computer is, but I can't seem to open the file with IZArc or anything else for that matter...help?

This looks like a FANTASTIC plug-in.

A new "twist" on the "iPod commercial":

--------

My take at an "iPod commercial". I had my sisters move around while I snapped the photos:

Used portions of the antiquing tutorial and then added an almost technicolor look to the starfish:

(I can't find the stock image! The original starfish looked something like this: http://xpress101.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/seastar11.jpg

Used a little bit of antiquing technique and messed around with the hue of the lotus.

I really enjoy recoloring flowers:

My exploding planet, made from the exploding planet tutorial:

Trying to figure out how to make a somewhat realistic planet/moon:

Friends' wedding:

[iPod Commercial]

I did a few of these myself. I took pictures of my sisters (just had them move around while I snapped photos), and then I used that selecting technique above ^.

iRock, I totally did not mean to copy your name...Take it as a compliment...I thought I had heard it somewhere!!

[Exploding planets]

I LOVE this tutorial, but I feel like I'm not doing something right...grr. Here's my first try:

EDIT: Ok, I like this one a bit better:

EDIT 2: I FIGURED IT OUT. I was getting my layers mixed up...doh.

[Color and Black and White - The Pleasantville Effect]

I really like the one with the baby in the overalls and then the one above this post ^. Awesome stuff.

It's great how such a simple edit can make a picture look so cool.

. Select all of the area of the image that you want to stay color

5. Copy that area and paste it into a new layer called color layer :AddNewLayer:

6. next Deselect the selection with ctrl+D :Deselect:

7. now choose the background layer :Layers:

8. Then Goto Adjustments and click black and white

9. You will now notice only the color layer has color(obvious)

10. Now merge the two layers. :MergeDown:

11. I usually use the curves tool and edit the luminosity after mergeing the images to make the image seem more realistic. I usually also add glow to add vibrance to the image. :Curves:

12. You should be done and should have a result like mine

these steps are a mystery...........

i go to add a layer and nothing shows up, HELP

I personally don't use these steps--I use the magic wand to select the portion I want to stay colored, copy the selection (ctrl+c), then I de-select (ctrl+d), turn the whole image to black and white under the Adjustments menu, and paste (ctrl+v) the colored selection, and it always pastes exactly where it should. I hope that helps.

Here's a couple of mine (I took these pictures myself at my friend's wedding):

I absolutely love the Majority plug-in. Here's a little something I did using it:

I am quite new to Paint.NET, and I am still figuring it out (this is my first post here!). I was just playing around with clouds, ink illustration, and swirls--this is my current desktop image:
