[Glossy Avatar/Button]

No reason for being harsh. Jake bothered writing this tutorial, which most people wouldn't have.

Anyway - after playing around a bit I came up with this:

Maybe the use of the inverted sheep wasn't such a good idea for "logo", but it's been my avatar for ages, so I just had to try it.

Thanks for the tutorial Jake - and may I say I love your other work as well .

I added a new pic in the second step so hopefully that will help.

Aaaah - the new top half shape is supposed to be white before applying the transparency. Duh - of course. Told you it was something simple :oops:.

Thanks for the help.

:shock: That really does look awesome.

Unfortunately I am a complete noob (only stumbled upon Paint.Net recently). And I am afraid to say I can't even get to step 2 either .

Dunno if this is the place to ask questions like this, but I really want to try this out. My problem is this:

After having created a 2nd layer with a copy of the top half (only a bit smaller), and after having applied the transparency to this new layer... how do I go about "adding" this transparency to the 1st layer (the original black rectangle?). All I get is 2 layers. When viewing both layers all I see is the 1st one (the original black rectangle). The transparency from the 2nd one isn't applied at all.

Sorry about being such a moron - I'm sure it's something simple. Hope you don't mind enlightening me?
