Final result: Plugins used: Align Object: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/4193-align-object-plugin-updated-06172007 1. Create a new document 300X300 px. and delete the white colour. Rename the layer to “Ring” 2. Use the ellipse tool, mode, Draw filled shape, Colour: Light gray (808080) and press Ctrl to draw a circle fitting into the image 3. Use Align Object, center (yes, this is important) 4. Duplicate the layer and name the top layer “Ring Reflection” 5. Use Adjustments, Hue/Saturation lightness to 90 6. Use the gradient tool, mode: Transparency mode, Linear reflected. Start at the centre and draw a diagonal Line. Now it should look like this 7.
