damn i found it ha sorry to bother guys, the menu icon doesnt show so i didnt see it. but i did get it and thank you

ok thats what i found when i searched but cant find where or how to use it also i do have it installed i think,

Need some help guys i have used other programs where you could grab say the bottom right point of an image and move it inward to add perspective. i cant really explain this anybetter. but i know or would hope p.n does this heres an example of what im trying to do hope that makes more since and if its a plug in, i have all of them installed so maybe im not sure where to look

yes, but what i need .gif for is for mobile phone applications

ok, i dont run firefox. I am a web developer. So i need to create images that will work universally accrossed all platforms. So i need to take the oldest of anything, and make it work. If i use firefox, and create images, and a person who uses IE looks at a site, or whatnot... well you see what im saying. So i run IE6 I develop flash 8 this way everything i do is compatible at all times. if flash player is at 10. i publish at 9 so thats the short story of gif quality and my need.

ok, so now my question is, anyway to create gifs, with better quality? if i take a static image and save as gif its great Q

ok so to recap, im saving as .apng renaming to .png and trying to view. no luck sorry for all the posts just trying to give all the info i can.

hey just a thought, does an animated png file require a specific viewer? im just clicking on it and it opens up in windows gallery..

ok ya.. i follow ya. but now... well ya read the post right above. i did it as gif just to see. but i agree animated png is far better, if i get to work

ok i so screwed up on my first post i meant to say when i make animated GIFS not pngs when i take my image and save as agif the quality goes way down. ok now second issue, i took the same pdn file, and saved it as apng ..... error while previewing.. ok, so i grab the .apng file and rename it to png. when i click on it, it doesnt animate. in fact it only shows the bottom layer. so sorry about my wording, my first issue was the quality for GIFS and the second is the pngs are not animating. so if you can please try the same zip file but create an animated gif file. and see if the quality goes to sh** the 2 images i posted as well, the first one is the original, and the second one is what happens to it when i save as agif.

sure here you go 4 files.zip

ok heres my issue. when i save the image as apng the quality of the image goes way down. my images are .gif already heres a before and after ideas?

you guys are awesome. i took both ideas, and kinda found a way fast solution. made a layer drew image duplicated image made it top layer drew "shine line" filed it with white perfect... im still working it though, seems you guys can get the shiny glossy, covered in clear coat effect far better than i can,. any more knowledge you wish to send at me? if i could define the shine line a bit better i also think it would help.

umma huh. sorry so lost me. my bottom layer is solid black.

ok i am also having another issue. when i try to fill an area, it fills the complete area, how do i word this, im trying to fill the area up, but not the transparent area... look at the bottom of the image, versus the top. im trying to keep a rounded edge. but the fill fills the entire image.. unless i flatten it. but then i beleive the image is unworkable.. or am i wrong?

Ok i tried your method, i did the No need for aliasing. Do what someone93 suggests, but without disabling anti-aliasing. and Then, when you fill the upper area, set the paint bucket Tolerance to 68-69%. It should work, without giving you jagged edges. but when i did the gradience it didnt work well at all. heres 2 examples. the one is using layer properties and the other is gradience. what am i doing wrong in gradience? also thank you all for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it.

someone93 I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

still not glossy enough. but i do have a question. how are you getting your fade at a different angle, everytime i use gradiend tool it does a straight edge. but in your image it has a curve. http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/5342/bglowr9.png

i love that your helping i really do, but what you said, just flew right over my head. let me give you my background, i do website design, hosting, and 3D art. so if i wanted to do this i would have to do it in a 3d program, so now that im doing this in paint.net. im so so lost, like you have no idea. if it was in swift 3d, or maya. i got it. as you can see here.. so the best way to help me is point me out on a hands on solution, so i can follow along.

ok, i did a bit of that, kinda cool. but not what im looking for.. here is what i am trying to make.. basically http://www.tutsbuzz.com/avatars/6259.gif or this http://www.paolawebdesign.it/SWISH_DB_2 ... tonPSD.jpg

again, im a NOOB and a bit more advice would be nice.

i thank you for your reply, but it doesnt explain the HOW to. as i use this program more and more ill learn the where and whats. but right now im only working on the glossy aspects. i have photoshop, never used and corel, could use like this. i can do everything else but this techinque i havent learned.

First off wow this program rocks. but i need some help. im trying to basically add a finish of shiny clear coat to this i followed this tutorial on how to make that.. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=27100&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=glossy+button but other tutorials act like i should know every tool there is and im really lost. any help would be nice. again all i want to do is get that above super shiny.
