wes615 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hey Mike, welcome to Paint.NET! I suggest you do this with layers (a layer for each thing on the label). When you have your bottle on the canvas, open a new layer to post the label. Open layers for your images and text too. Change the opacity of the layers as needed (press F4 for layer properties). To shade the edges, you have two choices: 1. You can make more layers, paint a dark color for shadows, then change the opacity. Then repeat for a realistic look. 2. Or you can merge all of the layers used for the label, then use a 3D illusion plug-in, such as Shape3D to make the shadows for you. Let me know if I didn't answer you right or you need more info. -wes615 [url=http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=33782]My gallery[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
