I don't understand the glow effect. Can you explain it a little more? Thanks.

I'm a novice when it comes to this anyway. It's not your fault where I go wrong myself. But your instructions were clear and understandable to where I'm trying it out and after some messing around, I'm starting to see what this can do. Thanks for the Tutorial it is really useful to refer to!

People used to think I was great at editing Walfas comics, but I've known for a while there was someone better than me: You.

I don't use Paint.net, I use Gimp, so there might be difficulty in me replicating what you do here. But... just keep doing what you do, alright?

I'd like to add something here. Do you use plugins? You should, because there are quite a few effects that can used (like a smudge tool). The text looks a bit bland, but with the use of an outline tool, a Gaussian blur, or the glow tool, it looks a but more pretty. You can also use the magic wand to select the text and then use the gradient to give it a fading effect.

Like on this: [link] If you use the glow tool on text, it adds a more dramatic look to it. About the use of the magic wand tool, you should use it for heavy duty selection, and then switch to the lasso select (with the add or subtract setting) for more fine tune selection, like character outlines and such.

Honestly, I didn't know the radial gradient could be used like that. That's nice to know.

I knew about the blurs, glow, soften, all of that stuff, but i didn't know about additional plug ins. I'll look into this.
About the text, i completely already knew about doing effects on Text, but my old brain keeps saying "After you put the text down, you're down." So i do that and i forget to add in effects to the text. I'll try to remember next time.
Lastly, good to here i introduced something new to you.

Well, it helps to keep the text on a separate layer.

That is a gigantic relief to hear. I was really worried that i was too unspecific, or it was too confusing.
