Save the screenshot in MSpaint and then open in PDN? I've never used RD before, so I wouldn't know unfortunately.

Second attempt. Love this tutorial. Thanks!

Ahh, Twilight. The love of my loins and the bearer of my heart. Honestly, I don't think I want to see the Twilight move in sheer fear that it'll totally ruin the book. I like the signature, overall. The only problem I see with the Twilight one is that the layers of Edward and Bella is easily distinguishable. Not totally sure how to fix that, to be honest. I've only had PDN a few days myself, and it happens to be my first picture manipulation/editting application other than Paint. Great work.

Personally, I love it the way it is. I wouldn't know where to start if I tried with that. Looks amazing. :] Kudos to you. Keep it up.

I don't think I completely comprehend what you're trying to say. Could you please post a screenshot of what you're currently up to? The way I did it was simple: I finished with the flattened image and I used Conditional Hue/Saturation to change the colour of the flower (it is, afterall, the only coloured object in the image). I then duplicated the layer and Gaussian Blurred the top layer, and then halved the opacity of that layer to create a softer effect. Could you elaborate a bit more, so we can get an idea? Or, what would you like me to elaborate more? Which step, exactly?

Sure, sure. I added a link in the same post as I presented the other chart, that takes you to the Plugin that gives you Conditional Hue/Saturation. Link: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1102 Download the .dll file to your Effects folder in your Paint.NET program files. (Should be like this: C: Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects) Close Paint.NET. Reopen it, and try again from the first step I gave you.

Fiddling with Conditional Hue and Saturation (http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1102) (and a little Gaussian Blur with reduced opacity on a duplicated layer to remove some of the grittiness), I got: Sorry, Thomas. I used your image. Too lazy to recreate it. Steps: Opened up Thomas's Flower. 1. Adjustments -> Conditional Hue/Saturation and enter around these values (fiddle with it): 2. Duplicate the layer. 3. To the top layer: Effects -> Blurs -> Gaussian Blur with a radius of 6. 4. Open up the layer properties for the top layer (the one you just modified) and change the opacity to around 110-130. This gets rid of some of the distortion after you use Conditional Hue/Saturation. There are probably more ways to do it, and considering I'm only new to the programme myself, I found that the easiest way to do it.

♥ Inverted colours, added a textile effect, increased canvas size, deleted parts of it and voila.

First attempt: I might go through and edit the colours at a later stage. I'm pretty happy with it overall. It is, afterall, my first manipulated image from scratch. :] Tut or not, I'm proud of myself. Hehe. @Tylertut: great work, mate. Done this before? Great outcome.

Bit controversial on my behalf: Added Sepia to the bottom layer. :] Thanks for the tut.

My first attempt at both PDN and this tutorial (): Added some noise at the end. :]
