"I'm aware... that won't do much for this idea, I don't believe.  It could potentially help, but it doesn't quite answer the riddle. \n\nI wouldn't say basically... I'd say \"kinda.\" \nDon't think web templates... think button, banner, font style, etc. templates. \nThe general idea is that anyone can easily modify the \"templates\" without being a graphic designer.  Font stylings and affects are already pre-made (they just type what they want it to say), shapes are pre-made, etc... they simply choose the colors and words they want, perhaps import their company logo... and every other component of the banner/button is complete. \n\nMore work than I want it to be... definitely.  Because I'd like for it to be NO work.  But more work than I expect it to be?  I don't think so, especially since I said (if you read closely) that I'm not entirely sure that this can be accomplished with PDN at all.  At least not currently. \n\nThis doesn't change the price of PDN... this merely makes PDN easier to use (if it can be done) and opens it up to an audience that may have never downloaded it otherwise.  The goal isn't to compete with PhotoShop.  The goal is to provide PDN users with \"templates\" that do similar things to templates/scripts that exist for PhotoShop users. \nI'm not looking to put a price tag on Paint.NET... I'm looking to profit from making Paint.NET \"powerful\" in the hands of complete novices and newbies.  To give them a tool that allows them to create professional looking buttons, banners, fonts, etc. without spending $20 to $100 an hour for a graphic designer. \nThis isn't much different than (maybe no different at all) those who sell manuals and books teaching people how to switch from Microsoft Office to OpenOffice.org.  Their offering doesn't put a price tag on OpenOffice.org... it puts a price tag on a service provided to them... namely education on using the free product. \n\nThanks!  If I don't find anyone interested in helping me, I'm going to do my best to research if this is a viable option or not.  If it is, I'll bring it to market on my own.  The development time will just be lengthened considerably. \n============== \nTo all the readers of this thread who are intrigued by the concept, but don't \"quite\" get IT... let me assure you that it will make a little more sense when I show to you the products/types of product offerings I aim to compete with.  You will then have a better understanding of what I hope to accomplish.  I'm just a little apprehensive in sharing those products here as I don't want my idea to be stolen by an anonymous leecher.  If you're interested and send me a private message, I'll reveal said products/links. "
