This is just a little something I wanted to share with any Paint.NET users who can't afford or simply can't find :p Adobe Photoshop to use the .PSD (Photoshop Document) files made by Rokodo to make the Taiko Backgrounds using the template.
I found a Paint.NET plug-in/add-on that allows the user to open up and even save Photoshop Document (.PSD) files. They work like .PDN (PaintDotNet/PDN/Paint.NET Document) files; so layer functionality/layer opacity works just fine.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the link to the download of the plug-in, so instead, I shall include the link to download the file.
