Why is this in the tutorials?

[How To Make iPod Ads - Rewrite, with images!]

Haha very nice tutorial! Here's my outcome- (The apple symbol shows up as a "" on my computer )

[Explosion]

Pretty nice tutorial, but for some reason the RGB Curves option doesn't work for me....And on like one of the last steps, I couldn't figure it out. So, here's my outcome-

Welcome.Nice start to your gallery. You have already been given the best advice. Quite amazing work for only 5 months with PdN.Keep up the good work.

Thank you

Actually, why don't you turn this into your gallery? Just hit the little "edit" button under the first post and add whatever new art you have for us to see! You could also change the title of the thread from there in case you would like it to show your username too...

AWESOME Idea! I now converted it to "Shirtisred's Gallery". Haha thanks again.

Nice job

All good advice from pdnoob

my 2 pennies worth would be to experiment a lil' bit with the tutorials. For example with the casino chip one, maybe add a couple more by playing with S3D settings so they're all the same ... but different.

(If that makes sense ...)

Looking forward to seeing more from you

Haha ok thanks for the tips. I made another Poker Chip right after I made the one on here, except with my logo on it. For some reason, I decided not to put it on this post. It'll definitely be on my next thread. :3 (I like following the exact instructions of the tutorial, and THEN experiment.)

[Image Umbrella: Signatures, Avatars, Logos & Text]

Here's a signature that I recently made, and quite like -

I also made another signature, and it's the one I'm using currently What do you think about these?

How long have you been using Paint.NET? All really great images. I like perspective on the poker chip you made. I also really, really like the sword.

I've been using Paint.NET for about 5 months now! And thank you for those wonderful comments ;D

Some great work with those tutorials! Just have a couple of things to help you along your photo editing journey:

~try to keep edges in your creations from looking pixelated. The best example of this would be the boarder between the light blue and purple colors on your second sig. If you look closely, it is a little jagged. If you run some form of anti-alias on it (I would suggest using dpy's AA's Assistant), you could smooth it up nicely!

~Play with layers and layer blend modes. This is important in nearly every picture, but the one I'm specifically looking at is your galaxy you made (very nicely done btw...is there a tutorial on that somewhere?). You probably noticed as you were making it, but the stars seem to disappear around the galaxy. If the galaxy and the starfield were on separate layers, you could set the top layer to "lighten" and the stars will show through without disrupting your galaxy.

Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your creations!

Thank you so much for the tips! I will be taking those into consideration And the tutorial in making the galaxy is here- http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20968-making-a-galaxy/

I could not make it at all, the continents wouldn't take color. It stayed the bland white no matter what I did. =/ Thanks for the tut though.

[The 'Mike Ryan' Signature Tutorial *Remake*]

EPIC Tut. GREAT results, and after looking at the original one, yours was MUCH more simple. Thank you Anyway, here's my outcome - (Yes it looks very similar to yours, but I just like doing almost exactly what the maker does, until I get used to it)

[Storm / Vortex Tutorial]

Very nice tut! It was easy to follow, and also pretty funny ;D Anyway, here's my outcome-

It's not very creative, but I'm really happy with it. Thanks!
