  1. Fill your background layer with pale yellow.

    Make a Rectangle selection. :RectangleSelectTool:

    Make a new layer.

    Fill the selection with black.

    Make a new layer.

    Fill the selection with white.

    In the Layers window, click on the black rectangle layer.

    Press Esc to deselect.

    Apply Gaussian blur.

    Use the Move Selected Pixels tool :MoveTool: to move the shadow so that it shows on 2 sides only.

    Press F4, and adjust Opacity, if needed.

    .

  2. If you like, try this:

    Go to this web page:

    http://min.us/

    =======================================

    Navigate to the folder on your computer where your Paint.NET file is saved,

    and drag-and-drop the file from there onto the web page.

    Copy from the address bar the web address that results , and paste it into a post here.

    That way we can take a look at the file and see what's going on.

  3. Layers Window

    Clicking the icon at the bottom left of the Layers window should make a new layer.

    Also:

    Layers > Add New Layer

    (These layers are transparent)

    ===========================

    If these don't make new layers, something is wrong.

    ===========================

    Layer visibility can be toggled on/off with the

    checkboxes at the right of each layer in the Layers window.

    ===========================

    Please include links to the YouTube videos that you have referred to.

  4. If I have this wrong, just let me know.

    I believe that you have an image object that you have cut-out by erasing.

    You want to add it in on top of a different background image.

    1-

    Open the background image.

    2-

    Import the cut-out image .png file.

    Layers > Import From File...

    3-

    Position the cut-out using the Move Selected Pixels tool, :MoveTool:

    which is automatically active following importing the cut-out file.

    4-

    Merge the layers.

    Layers > Merge Layer Down

  5. Do a Google Advanced Image search on Haunted Houses, skulls, spooky, etc.

    Have the Advanced Search set to Labeled for reuse with modification.

    Load an image into Paint.NET, and start playing with effects and blend modes.

    The image on the right was made by duplicating the layer, set blending mode to Difference,

    shift layer up 2pixels with Move Selected Pixels tool. :MoveTool:
