Most of the advanced stuff in paint.net is not possible without plugins. But this tut here uses built in effects Sharp's glass ball tut

that about sums it up. You should quit complaining and be smart and set a restore point you can restore to instead of letting windows do it for you. If you wait for windows to set your restore points for you, then you deserve to have to go hunting for drivers. Paint.net sets a restore point as a failsafe so that you can restore your system if paint.net somehow messes it up. Also if you have windows seven how bout you be smart and create a windows 7 repair disc. Also insulting the intelligence of the programmer of paint.net is not a good idea. Paint.net is a great program. Where is your program that you have coded if you are so much smarter than rick? I would honestly like to see this program so i can scoff at it. good day to you sir, chad

thanks I actully thought that I had made the background transparent, but it didn't turn out that way gotta save the file as png not jpg. Jpg doesn't support transparency, Png on the other hand does.

hehe shape 3d for planets thats the lazy way sozo

Wow i wanna take a bite out of that glossy orange its so amazing and so well done!!

thanks for the heads up mate changed the main post to include the new link

your new sig is great sokagirl good job with the alpha masking

no you shouldn't I will check it out and see whats up with it. Well i took a look at it and its going to be hard to keep the letters in that mask.

oh yeah i forgot about that kemaru thanks for reminding me mate

The following requires the alpha mask import by illnab. Take that image copy it to your clipboard now open the image you want to mask. then open the alpha mask import plugin. make sure invert mask, mix alpha, and paste clipboard are checkmarked and press ok and boom your image is masked. edited: to make it easier.

The first one is great very nice flow. Second one has too many colors in it for my liking, but moreover it is still good. Maybe try an abstract with a set number of colors say like maybe 3?

very good. I like how you are experimenting and finding cool things. Your latest images are getting better and better . Keep up the great work.

They are there for a reason, because you point the hour hand toward the sun and boom you have your directions . This article explains it a bit using your watch as a compass

there is a file type plug in for this like rick said. you can find it Here. Follow the instructions in the thread and you will be able to make you own icons . One alternative would be to use this free website that allows you to convert images into icons Convert icon.com

wow rick thanks that was super fast

very good second life picture manipulation. Your avatar sort of looks like lady gaga lol.

like mine lol It's cool, he's covered. and yes he is indeed covered And very cool abstract you have there mr. possum

actually no. Don't use feather, alpha masking is better. Great works first image could of used some alpha masking though but overall great images. aguba search for the alpha mask import plugin by illnab. Also there are some tuts on pdn fanatics about alpha masking. Click the pdn fanatics logo in my sig to go check em out.

Thanks sokagirl believe it or not i actually made my sig using alpha masking

awesome watch goonie its just absolutely amazing

guys remember give the person a critique before you post an image don't just run over them.

Well to drag off from the sig spectrum i will post this piece called Meet me Halfway click for full size to see a better view

I have to say that is one of the greatest images i have ever seen done with paint.net. Actually i am going to have to say that is the absolute greatest image made in paint.net to date. It is just astounding how much work and detail you put into the image. I can see that you worked hard and put in your heart and soul into this piece. It is just so amazing and inspiring to see such a detailed and awesome picture done in paint.net. What a great way to start end the year and begin a new one. sincerely, chad

You would be looking for the clone stamp tool. :CloneStamp: the icon looks like that on the tool box in paint.net. To anchor a point where you want to copy you press ctrl+left mouse button click. Then you can make an area similar to the anchor point. This also works across layers. It is also possible they were using the smudge tool in photoshop but i wouldn't know unless i saw the video for myself.

Here is my first image of 2010 i decided to make a new logo for myself. What do you guys think?
