the-silent-9 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 hi, im new to this forum, i jsut joined today, and ive only been usieng paint.net for about a month. i mod games which is why i orignally downloaded it, and i came to find out individually, its pretty nice. ive already downloaded quiet a few plug ins and stuff. what i need help with, as you can tell by my avatar is the glossy/glassy feel . (that sounded dirty . because i cant quit get it right. i cna get it to look all around one color, but i cant quiet make it more white on top and slowly fade downwards. id post some of my pictures to show you guys what they look like so far, but someone's gotta please tell me how to do that. i know how to put a url though. so if someone can put a mini tut, that would help a lot, and if someone can also tell me what exactly the emboss effect does, id appreciate it.

BoltBait Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Basically, what you want to do is don't draw the white circle with the circle tool. Instead, draw the circle with the circle selection tool. Then, fill that circle using the gradient tool going from white (primary color) to transparent (secondary color).

Panhead Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 your avatar look like you should use the feather blur though Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

Then, fill that circle using the gradient tool going from white (primary color) to transparent (secondary color). Or, you can draw the circle with the circle tool, and do an up-to-down gradient on it with the gradient tool in transparency mode.
