  1. Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but you can give your text a nice boost of definition with the 'Film' plug-in which gives it a nice grunge feeling to it. It kind of reminds me of the scrambled picture you get when losing a connection to a TV channel.

    First off, you can download the plug-in from over here.

    So, open up your piece and write out your text (by my experience the effect you will try to achieve works best on white color). After you've done that, duplicate the layer. Apply the Film effect on the top layer. Calibrate the settings to your liking and render the effect. Next, click on the bottom layer and select everything but the text with the 'Magic Wand' ( :MagicWandTool:) tool. Keep your selection selected and click on the topmost layer and lastly, hit delete.

    Here's an outcome on how the effect should look like.

    That one is my favorite. I love green. If only there was a blue one...

    A little BBCode secret: You don't have to wrap the

    tag on every image. Just put before your first image and after your last image. I guess you already knew it, though

    :D

    Yeah, I guess I know that and blame my lightheadedness for not recalling that option. Hmm .. maybe some day I'll get around and make it into a 'bluer' version, but I'm kind of short on time these days.

    Thanx'! :D

  3. WOW!! like that first one very Samurai Jackish. is that a plug in that you used for those fractals? if so pls msg me the name? Just downloaded the new PDN and so I keep detting lost in all the avail plugins. Thnx fer the gall, nice stuff. GS

    Thanks! :)

    The 'Samurai Jackish' piece was mainly done with brushes which you can find on DeviantArt.

    The fractals are rendered with Chaoscope, but you can also use Apophysis, but that might seem a bit harder to use at a first glance.

  4. Looks mad....

    What brush packs are you using?

    I'm using brushes I picked out of dozens of packs I found throughout DeviantArt - I had to convert them .. well, some of them. It's kind of difficult to point out the exact brushes I use. You'll just have to look around and find the suitable ones for your tastes.

    Wow! I love all of them! :mrgreen:

    Thanks! :)

  5. I think that would be a bit of overkill.

    You rang, milord?

    Well, since I think Paint.NET is one topnotch program which I enjoy using, my wish list is limited. But I have to agree with many others, a configurable amount of knobs for the line tool would be nice. If a brush tool really is going to be implemented, could it support those vector things (those little logos on a long line) since I can't seem to get them to work properly with the current tool. Resizable tool windows would be more than welcome too.

    But still, I have no doubt that v4 will be a blast! :lol:

  6. Well, measuring the diameter of the pin-backed button's circle would kind of help you. When choosing your dimensions for the picture, it will show you the print size either in centimeters or inches. Well, knowing the 'dimensional capacities' you can then fit the dimensions of the piece equally to the button's size.

    Well, about the design, then it's up to you since you can put anything on it, I presume. There are a lot of button tutorials here so you might try your luck at those.

    Good luck! :lol:
