Here's my go at it. Thanks for a great tutorial.

When I tried to use these plugins, all I could get was a look that looks like emboss/relief effect. How did you get them to look like the spheres/orbs that you're showing in your examples? I can't make the black ball with the white shiny hilight on it.

Thanks again Barbie, and thanks to you Julio.

Helen & Chrisco: Thanks much for your continued support. I appreciate it you guys. You're great.

Okay. What filters do I use then?

All right, here's my problem. I have Paint.net open. I make a black background with a white circle in the middle on the same layer. I execute the PSFilter plugin. I browse to the directory where the plugin and the exe file is. I click "Add." I click on Photoshop's "Liquify" filter. The PSFilter comes up with a black screen. Shouldn't I see my white circle in it? All I get is a black screen. I tried an orange background with a yellow circle and the filter brings up a black screen.

Does this plugin work on a 32 bit system? I have a feeling it doesn't, I think that's what my problem is.

I can't get this to work. I must be doing something wrong but there's no instructions. I put the dll file where it's supposed to be, I see it in PdN but you can't close the dialogue box. What's the exe file for?

I'm under the impression that this plugin isn't working right at the moment so I'm going to wait to see the outcome of all this. I don't understand what the advantage of this plugin is, compared to Microsoft Animator for instance. I used MS Animator to assemble my current sig after making 6 different frames with PdN (each frame was on it's own layer). Maybe someone could enlighten me.

Basically you need three layers like this: Use the top layer, the "red cut out lines" layer to outline the windows with the "line" tool. I used red so you can see it easier. Use the magic wand to select inside the window lines. Click to the "interior" layer and press the delete key on the keyboard. After the windows are deleted the image from the "exterior" layer will show through from below. Here's a good tutorial on how to cut out an image using the "line" tool. This is how I did this sample. Hope this helps.

Are you talking about something like this?
