Nai Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Level : Intermediate to Advance User Plugin : 1. Null54's 8bf Filter 2. MV Wireworm ( A Photoshop Plugin ) Intro : There're several ways to restore damaged old picture using Paint.NET. In this tutorial I'll use a combination of MV Wireworm plugin ( just something like healing brush ) and clone stamp to get what do you seen in the after picture. About MV Wireworm and the great examples : http://vicanek.de/plugins/wireworm.htm How To Do It : 1. Open a picture ( Thanks Pixie for providing me this sample picture ! ) in Paint.NET. For this tutorial I cropped some of the area to make my work with clone stamp a lot easier. 2. Run 8bf filter, then choose MV Wireworm. A small window like this will popped out. Choose your selection area by clicking the area and bring your cursor as far as you can/want. 3. Click on the selected area and move your cursor until the selected area 'moving'. Move it until you find an area that matched/suitable. Do the things until you're done with all cracks or dots. Some good guides about this plugins : http://vicanek.de/plugins/wirewormtutorial.htm http://vicanek.de/plugins/colormatchingtutorial.htm 4. After healing all cracks and dots, use clone stamp to recover the disappearing area. Do it until you get the finish product like this : You can do it better than me. All The Best !

Wuvmy3kitties Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I hope it is ok to ask this here....I attempted to download Wireworm and the site is gone. Is there an equivalent to this plugin available somewhere, or does anyone have it on their site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
