Open Paint.NET. Add a new layer. Delete the bottom layer . Add your text to the remaining transparent new layer. Save as PNG.

If you want the background area where the logo overlaps to remain transparent, you will have to save as 32-bit PNG.

See if this makes them look OK: Set Magic Wand tolerance to zero. Click on white > Delete. Apply AA's Assistant plugin effect at default settings.

The .AVI file type plugin won't even load on my system. I believe that it is obsolete and unsupported.

Hold the Shift key down to rotate in 15 degree increments. ========================================

Yes, good point, the Ed Harvey Vignette plugin would need to be done on a white layer. That could be used as an alpha mask, as is. Or the black-on-white vignette could have the Black and Alpha+ plugin effect applied, and could then be colored with the Silhouette Plus plugin. =========================================== The Stu's Effects Vignette plugin will make the vignette directly on a new alpha layer.

If you have your black vignette on a separate layer, you can change it to any color you want. You could use Mike Ryan's Silhouette Plus plugin. Or use the vignette as an alpha mask on a layer filled with the color of your choice.

After installing the Gradient Mapping plugin, It can be accessed from the Adjustments menu.

You're welcome.

Install the Gradient Mapping plugin from the link at the top of this tutorial. Then download and install the XML file from the Hidden Content at the end of the same tutorial. Apply the Gradient Mapping effect with that pre-set loaded to the blade layers. (Duplicate the blade layers first so that you have a non-colored version available if you want it later.) (Don't do the whole tutorial on the blade, just the Gradient Mapping step.) (Be sure to put a checkmark at Preserve Alpha) .

There are many ways of doing this. Using the Recolor tool is one way. http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/RecolorTool.html =================================== You could position a yellow fill layer beneath the image layer, and use the Grim Color Reaper or Color to Alpha plugin on the image layer. That could turn the black to alpha, and let the yellow show through. .

pyrochild.effects.REQUIRED.dll is not there.

Close, then re-open Paint.NET. ====================== Look here: Utilities > View Plugin Load Errors If any error reports are present, pls. post them. ====================== Also, open your Paint.NET Effects folder, and make a full screenshot. It should show the contents of the folder and the full folder path in the address field. Post the Direct Link, or thumbnail. http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/ http://imageshack.us/

If it is a single layer, you can copy it, then paste it into a new layer in the other file. Ctrl + A Ctrl + C Switch to the other file, then: Ctrl + Shift + V ======================================= If it is a multi-layer file, you can save it, then import it as layers into the other file.

Which plugins specifically are you trying to install?

Most likely you are using thumbnail code instead of embedded image code. Try this: [img=http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/1984/pdnsig.png] It will give you full-sized.

Look in the Recycle Bin. If the Paint.NET folder is there, restore it. Then try to uninstall it from: Control Panel > Programs and Features > Uninstall or Change a Feature.

The profile picture function is turned off. Nothing to be done about that. For signature, upload to a hosting site, and enter the image URL provided by the site. http://imageshack.us/

There is more than one thing that may be causing this. After cropping the circular selection, be sure that the gray-and-white checkerboard that indicates transparency is showing in the cropped away corner sections. Save as PNG, not JPEG or other file types. (JPEG won't preserve transparency) When pasting on top of another image, paste into a new layer above the image layer. Don't paste directly into the image layer. .

This may do what you want: Black and Alpha+
