Is there a plugin that can create animations? Like, looped movement in a still image. Not a gif. For ex. I could have a picture of a waterfall & the effect could create the illusion of the water rippling downwards.

Is there a way to do both effects in a single text? Also- (& this is a bit off topic) I tried installing a plugin called Image DIstortion to do this but affter I copied/pasted the dll file in the effetcs folder, I couldn't find it anywhere in the app.

THAT worked. Thank you! Just a matter of the learning curve now...

Ok, I'm not seeing any file with the "8bf" tag.

Yeah, I downloaded it, then dropped the dll & exe files into the Effects folder of Paint.net. Then I tried lynxter's suggestion but then got this pop up. Still nothing. Not sure what I'm getting wrong.

Thanks, Pixey I tried installing it but when I clicked on Effects, I got this blank pop up. What's wrong here?

I tried installing Wire Worm but when I clicked on Effects I was getting this blank pop up. What's wrong here?

I want to remove some of the text from this image & add my own. I have a bad feeling this'll be difficult at best bc of the complicated background. (even using Clone stamp) Is that my only chance? (& by the way- what font would you use for this? Impact?) Thanks!

Thanks so much for your time, Pixey.

Oh, yeah! Def'! That one was just the first to catch my eye in Google images. I can easily find or make one with a transparent background. But that's the look I'm shooting for. That or like the kind of glow a lightsabre sheds= where you can't make out the metal of the blade. Just it's shape emiting light.

Ty, Pixey! I hate to say it, but I tried both but still fumbled figuring it out. How'd you select the knife? I used the Magic Wand feature but that wasn't it. I downloaded the Fast FX, but wasn't sure how to get a different color with it. This blue sword is an ex. of what I'm trying to achieve.

Hello, all I want to make the blade of this sword glow. I'd also like to make it glow a color besides white. How would I do this?

Hairs near the chin

Nuttin'?

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Uneven rocky background.

There has to be a faster, more efficient way to do that. The eraser is too clunky & the magic wand doesn't always cut it. Any suggestions?

*wah wahhhh!I* trombones In my defense, I was looking for something labeled "Edge Fader" Thank you!

Sorry forgot to mention- I tried that.

Weird- I'm seeing the dll file in the Effects folder, but not in the actual application when I open up PDN.

Trying to reproduce this effect. The Fade Edge effect under the Photo effect comes close, but it only makes the bottom half faded/opaque. I need the entire image's edges to look faded/opaque like this. You can see the center of the face is solid. Suggestions? Thanks!

Is there a method or plugin that can more easily allow you to erase the spaces between hairs on someone's head? Just to get a more realistic look for the end result. As of now, I have to zoom in REALLY close & try to find each & Every one.

Yeahhhh, all the instructions you & the others here gave me def' helped, but I think given the photos I'm working with, best I could do is come close to that look.

Here's a video of the look I'm aiming for. What I'm finding tricky is maintaining a smooth, non-pixely look in the red areas. I do think the original photos used for the video were shot in a very controlled environment & with specific lighting. Almost like a spotlight. I see little to no "shading". The photos I'm working with are likely flawed there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT2T49yP2ew

Ah thanks again! I think I've got it now. I"m just trying to figure out now if the picture I used in my example looks "natural" or Thresholded. I *suspect* the Partridge Family shot was originally taken with lighting in front of & behind her head.

Ok. So,. I Thresholded it >took the Wand Tool set to global> added a red layer & it looked great. But my background was also red. How'd you get it black?
