  1. that is a bit unclear.

    Here, let me try again.

    make a new layer, and fill it with solid black. Put this layer on top of all of your other layers.

    duplicate the layer where the shape of your button is. Also make sure that your shape is solid black, as well. Place this shape above all of the layers, including the one in the previous step.

    draw your line that marks the edge of the shine while you still have the top shape layer selected, and fill the shape with white. It should not fill up the transparent corners of the shape as well. If it does, set to a lower tolerance.

    merge the shape layer down on the black layer(the first layer you just made)

    run curves+ on advanced with luminosity input and alpha output. Keep the line running from lower left corner to upper right corner.

    run curves+again, this time on luminosity instead of advanced, and make the line in the dialogue box run from top left to top right corner. This should make all of your pixels white, whereas before the ones which originally had low luminosity kept their luminosity, they just became less opaque.

    was I more clear this time? :P

  2. Indeed they are sort of like extra features. Users write them, and then post them to the forum. With plugins, you can do many more things with Paint.NET. The plugins will appear in either the effects or adjustments menu, in the same place as the effects and adjustments that come with the program.

    You can find the plugins forums, where you can download plugins, by going to the index page, and going to the plugins-publishing only forum.

    Hope this helps.

  3. ReptiGuy: I don't know, something rounded and sans serif, most likely, to match the style. I'm not exactly the best candidate to give you a matching font, though. :?

    MegaNight: look at the dropdown list under the downloader. I think your screen size should be there. :)

    Perhaps the planet in the background could be either made brighter or darker, as right now it's at an uncomfortable middle that directs the eye to where the portal and the planet overlap.

  4. duplicate your bottom layer, and fill the bottom with white instead. Don't fill the top with anything.

    Invert colors (control-shift-I)

    use curves+, set on advanced with luminosity->alpha.

    use curves+ again, this time set to luminosity, and set a straight line across the top of the box. This should make all of your pixels pure white.

    Hope this helps.

  5. You will want the lens plugin. Search for it under plugins, if you don't have it.

    Open your picture, and select the line tool. with the line tool, draw from the top left corner to the bottom right corner on you image. While you are doing this, keep an eye on the left side of the status bar on the bottom of your window. This will tell you how ong your line is. Memorize or write this length down.

    Press control-Z, to undo the line you just made. You don't want it in the middle of your picture.

    go to Image>canvas size, or press control-shift-R. Set the image dimensions to the value you wrote down, for both height and width. Set the little image icon to the center of its grid.

    Use the lens effect to get the amount of fisheye you want.

    go back to Image>canvas size, and reset to your image's original dimensions.

    Hope this helps.
