catsrule777 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 This is my first time so if i am doing anything wrong or against the rules etc, please tell me. Okay so i am making a background for a friend and i want to make the edges of the three pictures of Justin Beiber glow but i dont know how. Can any one help me? I have Paint.Net v3.5.1 (is that the right one?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlychad Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Yes you have the right version of paint.net. If your just wanting to apply a glow effect around the outer edges of the pictures follow these steps. step 1: open the image of justin beiber Step 2: add a new layer Step 3: press ctrl+a then use the outline selection plugin. with any color you want make sure you make it about 10 pixels wide. Step 4: run gaussian blur at about 60 or so. Step 5: run glow at or around the default settings then press ctrl+f to flatten the image and save it as a png. that should be around what your looking for if not i'm sure someone else has another method for you to use.

mcamp14 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 It's really a shame that there is not an easier way, I have tried to find a much easier way, but that is about as straight-forward as it gets. If only there was an outer/inner glow plugin available.

mcamp14 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 i agree with mcamp There was no need for you to post this. Hey I don't mind haha! Anyway, the gaussian blur of an outline around the picture is the easiest way, but it is still not easy.

Crimson Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 You could run Outline Object on the image with a very soft setting (253+), then run Glow. Quote Create A Professional-Looking Product Advertisment Mockup flickr | Deviant Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
