Theon|804 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I am trying to replicate an awesome effect I saw on a photoshop tutorial, but I have been unsuccessful at even the first step. Making random gradients. >_> When I use gradients with Paint.NET, it only lets me make one gradient, and it affects the entire layer... This is the tutorial of which I speak- http://1252429.deviantart.com/art/fire-orb-tutorial-38952004 Quote "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want." - Calvin, The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFC4EVER Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 For the gradient problem, use a gradient with both primary and secondary colors the same, but for the secondary color, make it transparent by clicking "More>>" on the Colors Window, then setting the alpha to 0. To help on the tut, i suggest downloading Polar Transformation plugin by Madjik (its a link to his awesome plugin pack) Also, take a look at this: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4158 It may help on replicating the twirl filter on Photoshop. I hope it helped! Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theon|804 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 =D That tutorial by Europe got me the exact effect I needed. But what was the Polar Transformation plugin and the primary/secondary colors tip about? I didn't understand either of them. >_> /n00b Quote "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want." - Calvin, The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
