Hi,
I am new to this forum and I would like to ask anyone if it is possible to create a very realistic planet texture with paint.NET, anything from earth-like to gas giants
I would use such textures in the free space simulator Celestia which can be found here:

I have been a member of their forums now for a while and have seen other people's textures (some are very realistic!)
So I ask if it is possible that a tutorial exists which explains how to do this. I know paint.NET can be quite limited in tools compared to other raster imaging software out there, but the ones like photoshop and paint shop come at a price and I haven't got the money to throw around on such a piece of software.
What I do have is the patience to create such textures, these things can take hours or days, its like a mini project, but the end result is fascinating, to get an idea take a look at this topic in Celestia (Complete With Screenshots):

If anyone knows of a tutorial or has one please let me know
Thanks
T.Noob
