nomad_1_usa Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 If I'm not welcome here, I will understand. I've been lurking, a good bit. But, if you could, please point me in the right direction. As background, I am fairly literate on computers, given that I am a trucker. I was about to get Gimp, until I discovered that I already had PDN. I have a Canon A550 point and shoot, and can often get one of a kind photo shots. But, I have no time to set anything up. I have to point and shoot, or miss the shot. I want to fix the noise and defects that I often get. Sometimes, it includes shooting through a dirty windshield, but I would like to be able to do some of what you guys do. How many hours are there, in the learning curve? If I get good, could I earn money with PDN? Where do I start? The F1 key brings me the the PDN site. Same with the link in the Help menu. There is no tutorial built in to PDN, other than tool tips, while hovering. I'm running an off the shelf Toshiba laptop, with XP SP2, 1 gig memory, 2 processors, 15" screen. No mouse. There should still be some photos at my 360 page: http://360.yahoo.com/nomad_1_usa By the way, you guys were so excited, that my first extension was Shape3D Thank you, MKT. And, compliments for such a polite and well run forum. I was a moderator at a trucking forum, but have been missing in action, for a couple of months. I may not go back, due to the site owner's poor leadership. I removed my rig, from my sig, since I don't yet know how to reduce it, properly. Quote High, Wide and Heavy, as well as Roll On, Roll Off.

Rick Brewster Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 If I get good, could I earn money with PDN? Why not? It really depends on what you are able to do, both creatively and from a business standpoint. Paint.NET's license places no restrictions on this (it's not like it says, "thou shalt not make any money from your creativity while using this software").

nomad_1_usa Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Thank you, all, for the warm welcome. I'm in the help files, now... Just looked at layers and tinkered a bit with the magic wand. That thing scared me, a couple of days ago. I'll be looking and lurking and learning. Thanks, again.

Myrddin Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'll be looking and lurking and learning. The three L's; that should be a new catchphrase, 'look, lurk and learn'. Welcome by the way .
