Oho

Okay. Ty for the replies Rec ochre and pdnnoob. I'll probably redo the gradient fully then and at least I learned that it's difficult even for good picture edtitors to do it the way was I was planning to do. Or at least to make it look as perfect as doing it fully with a gradient is dificult.

@Jim100361 Thanks for the help. I should've mentioned that what I want to avoid is redoing the gradient, cause I never did it myself and I like the way it is apart from the broken part located at 12o'clock. @ventor1 I'm trying to custom mod my PokerStars tableskin, so that is why I don't want to put in on the center of the image as the PokerStars program would probably not understand that change @pdnnoob That advice about flipping horizontally and vertically was really good, I did that and copied the flipped image over the bottom part of the picture. There are some sharp edges still inside the pic though. I'm new with the feather-tool. I just DL'd it and put it in my effects folder and have it show up under effects in Paint.NET too. Okay so I read that it only works if there's no background layer and the sharp edge has to be next to transparent area. I did both, but there's a problem, feathering doesn't fix the sharp edges inside the picture since they aren't next to a transparent area, so how to use feather-tool this way? Before I ever used feather-tool I thought it's something like a paint brush type of thing that makes areas blurred that you draw/paint on, but seems like it will always edit the full area inside the selection (or rectangle select). So to me it seems to be doing exactly what I use Gaussian Blur for... Dunno if I'm using it right, they really seem like almost the same thing. Here's what I got currently. Again need to find a way to fix the sharp edges inside the pic somehow, since it's not possible to do with feather-tool since the edges aren't next to transparent area.

Let me demonstrate with a pic. You'll probably guess right away what I want to do. Yeah I want to get rid of the square looking thing at 12 o'clock position. I can't figure out a good way to make it look good and get it done as fast & easy as possible. Normally in situations like this I do a maximum zoom and use color picker and pencil and click each individual pixel and the result even then isn't very good, so I'm wondering if there are other and easier ways to do this? Like some kind of 'area color picker' or 'texture picker or some kind of spraying tool that would spray a texture from a chosen area. Do any of these exist or how should I try to fix this? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/713/howtofix34.png/

Yea cloud one is 1 of the only ones I've played a lot with, but nice tip about the rougness and #3. Gonna try it out. Also 'add noise' is pretty handy isn't it?

Hello and sorry about the wrong forum. Ty Minners, I'll try it with google. Yes Ega Eram, there were lot's of interesting things there like the bubble effect for example, but I'm looking for way simpler textures atm . The aurora thing is cool too, but i'm after even simpler things atm. Yes that 'texture wallpapers' on google images is great! I never got the wording right to search them. Anyways isn't it little bit dangerous to get stuff straight from google like that, viruses & spywares?

All i'm looking is some way to get really simple looking textures, so I can use Effects->Artistic->Texturize on Paint.NET. I'm trying to create my own desktop wallpaper and I don't want it to have any real picture just some interesting looking texture that would be pleasant for the eye. Anyways, it's surprisingly hard to find something as simple as this. Maybe it's too simple? I'm not that great with picture editing and I want to skip the part where I create the texture(s) myself. (Technically I'll be making the texture myself, but I need a starting point to get going. I don't want to start out of nothing.) So are there sites or forum threads anywhere where I could DL some really simple or not so simple textures? When I try to google or youtube about it, all I find is thousands of minecraft messages, which i'm not interested in. Hopefully someone can help me with this. Thanks.
