Schnicka Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It does seem like there are a lot of young people doing a lot of great work with PDN, which just shows it's ease of use. I'm just 15, but I find it amazing how simple it is to make quite professional looking images by either following simple tutorials or even just fiddling around with effects. It's also a great time-killer, and if I'm really bored I just decide to work on a new sig or a wallpaper or something, and there goes my boredom! I've been using it for probably a couple months now (Although I first downloaded it just so I could edit two images into one, so I hadn't been doing anything like sigs or wallpapers until a week or two ago), and I'm already amazed at what it can do. Great work on Paint.NET developers! And great work to all the users who have demonstrated their amazing artistic ability and who have taught me so much!

QueenPendragon Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm glad to have found this forum, I've been struggling with the program. I mostly do wallpapers and fan art, and lack the cash for Photoshop, or the drive to learn GIMP. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting help to improve my skills a bit. I haven't got any pics to post yet, sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilke Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Well hello, people! My name is Ilke, and I'm a 15-year old Turkish resident currently living in Paris (tip: not the one in Texas ). I've been a user of Paint.NET since 2007 and I'm quite satisfied of the simplicity, versatility and endless possibilities it can offer as free software. Kudos and good luck for everyone involved in the program (and the plugins!)'s existence. I've already been lurking occasionnally the forum for the tutorials and plugins, but now I've decided to just join the community to fully enjoy the experience. I'm rather amateurish with the program, and I usually fail at creating on my own, instead resorting to "kitbashing" for example. My avatar (the same I've used for five years on the Internet minus the improvements) is an example of this. But with plugins and much needed tutorial assistance, I can at least amaze myself. Huge thanks to Barbieq25 and her jewel tutorial already. Maybe I'll post some of my work if my self-esteem and PDN skills do allow it, maybe I'll sink in much more time in the off-topic section but in any case, I hope I will become a part of this burgeoning community. Long live Paint.NET, long live the Community! (hope that didn't sound too pompous ) Edited September 18, 2011 by Ilke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delpart Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Hello pdn forum, Took me some time to figure out there was a place to drop a first post/intro. Old rules on etiquette keep slipping year after year in the wake of the 120 character mindset ... (mumble grumble social media ...) And I thought AOL was the horror. Little did we know ... Not sure what I should say as an introduction with this forum, but here it goes: I'm an aspiring geek who wants to embrace his creative side. I come from the systems analyst world but recently was required to dive into using PDN for e-commerce. But, at best, I used it as a cudgel to process things. (Past tense. You cant have 50 job titles and duties, and actually expect to make headway in a hostile work environment.) Prior to that, in a bygone era, I used to generate fractals with fractint. (Not flames people. Just fractals.) I still look back in amazement at waiting for days to render a single image for a proof on the math that now can be done in the blink of an eye. The 8088 and the 286 were simply not ready for that imho. I also delved into 3D and all the rest. Including non-digital mediums. I think the non-digital is where I took the feedback that "you're not an artist" and bought into it. Am I an artist? Sure. Everyone is. You just have to wake up and understand that you do art for you and if people like it, that’s just a bonus. Ditch your ego and you’ll be amazed at what you can create. (Unless you are doing it to feed yourself. Then you need to be a hack and get lucky … ::grins:: ) Mike Ryan may have this covered some of these in his 11 habits, but here are few thoughts about things I've learned about PDN in my brief foray into trying to evolve from crudley using it as a tool into wanting to use it as an art medium (in no particular order): · PDN is understated, under-appreciated, and under-utilized. (Much like its forum.) · Save, and ‘save as’ often. Make sure to put them all in the same place. · Take notes. Or at least take a screen shot of your history and save it with the project. · It's done. Move on to something else. · If you need inspiration, re-create it and look on in wonder how much you just learned. But again, it’d done, move on to something else. · You're stuck. Take a break. · You dont need plug-ins to accomplish 99% of what you’re aiming for, but they were created to speed up the process. Embrace them after you learned why they were made. · Plug-ins will influence your outcome. Dont become a slave to them. · There is more to this than meets the eye. · Art is what you appreciate. Ignore what other people are doing. · Other people are better at this. Deal with it. · The help file has more to it than you give it credit for. · There are some things PDN cannot do. (Like wash the dishes …) · Photoshop tutorials are confusing but can offer valuable insight. · Large canvas reductions don’t always work. 3 to 1 vs 2 to 1 reductions often lose the detail you just spent hours creating. · That’s not even close, but I should save it cause it's nifty. · Duplicate layers are one of the best methods to “undo”something when it goes wrong. · Don’t forget your computer has a clock and everyone else is following that perception of time. I’m sure there is more I can add that I’m forgetting. Heck, that’s my MO in many respects. That’s just what came to mind at this moment. Plus I’m sure there is a post character count limit, including code tags, I need to avoid hitting here … And finally, and most importantly, a huge Thank You to all the contributors who have helped evolve PDN and provide the support needed to keep it going.
