Just found this extension a few seconds ago for those (including me) who haven’t mastered gradients or partially alpha’d parts of an image, and who are too cheap to buy Photoshop and instead use [Paint.net](http://Paint.net)

EDIT: Never mind. It was more limited than it looked. It only allows you to add text, and doesn’t separate each element into individual layers.
