Download the zipped file to your Desktop or Downloads folder. Open the zip by left-clicking it. If there is a folder inside the zip, open the folder. Copy/paste the plugin files to your Effects folder. ================================== Have you upgraded To Paint.NET v3.5.4? What plugins specifically are you currently trying to install?

Could "OK to edit entries" be added to the Rules in the Competition Entry Thread?

GFraser1965, You could try the Polar Transformations plugin, set to - Transform Rectangular to Polar. Part of the MadJik plugin pack. Another possibility is the Circle Text plugin. dpy's Pack.

This one doesn't require a sign-up. http://imageshack.us/

It's definitely different. Does it use zoom blur instead of Gaussian? Like the icon.

I think the Rings tutorial may have gone with Legacy Tutorials.

Actually this should work. With the image loaded in the clipboard, open Paint.NET with the special shortcut and press Ctrl V, then Ctrl+Shift+S to Save As, name the file. It's still not as convenient as being able to configure bitmap as the default save type, which isn't possible with Paint.NET. ====================================================== So, technically this does work, but from a practical perspective, probably not worth the trouble.

I recommend against using the Recolor tool for this. Try using the Single Hue plugin effect. First set your Primary color to the desired result. Open Single Hue and click on the top-left square. Click OK. =============================================== Single Hue is part of the Ed Harvey plugin pack. Single Hue

This problem shows up occasionally. The usual work-around is to Save As... PNG, then save from that PNG as JPG. Upgrading to v3.5.4 is definitely a good idea.

I vote for the second one.

Line tool OK? Paintbucket OK? Can you put a link to the competition thread in the first post? Why no cheating? In fact, what is cheating? Opinions on what is acceptable vary among pixel artists. This needs to be clarified in the Rules.
