Fabulous, thanks Welshblue and Visual

Thanks everyone, especially Visual for the fix up, you're the best!! I'll be sure to look a bit more carefully before taking the shot next time... Out of curiosity Visual, how did you recreate the shadow?

Hi all, I'm a bit of a newbie with Paint.net and I hoping there is an easy fix to this problem... I have taken some product shots and didn't realise at the time that the blutac I was using to support the product was showing in the shot (at base of pendant). What is the easiest and quickest way to remove this section or blur it with the background? I've tried using the dropper to select the background colour nearby and then using the paint brush to cover it up but my "fix up" seems to stand out just as much as the blutac did in the original... Any suggestions are welcome, thanks

Thanks, your tute was great, I knew there had to be a way to do it! Is there any way to reduce the pixelation around the edges of the letters to make them smooth and seamless?

Hi all, I'm a bit of a newbie to forums and to graphic design so please forgive me if I use the wrong terms... I've recently started creating artwork in hard copy form and I'm trying to transfer it to a digital medium to reduce labour and broaden my range of products. I'm not in a position to buy Photoshop/Illustrator at the moment and have found that Paint.net has met most of my needs so far but I'm open to suggestions if a different freeware would be more suitable for what I'm trying to do. What I want to do next seems to be a bit beyond me and that's where I'd love some help I am trying to create text that is transparent so I can "fill" it with some of the artwork/patterns which I have scanned. What would be the best way to do this so the outline of the text is very sharp? Also would it be possible to "fill" each letter with a different scanned image or would I need to fill all the letters with the same pattern? Any advice would be greatly appreciated I've attached a VERY clunckily made version of what I'm trying to do using Powerpoint so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about.
