Those stars and buttons are really awesome. Well done! My only suggestion would be to shade in the edges of the glass to transition to the metal - in the star, that is. That might be too much to ask, though, within Paint.NET's limits. Other than that, it's basically photo-realistic.

Hmm.. Its possible to soften the image a bit or mark the areas out and then soften (by using the Soften Portrait), and then turn up for the saturation..

It makes the color stronger in the areas where the (blured - soften) had been made, and then looks like a color reflection on the metal.

Its like Glow, but glow, makes the light on metal all too strong.

Im use the Paint.NET very often, and are happy to use it.

Here is a star and buttons that i made, to show how great the program is.
