Open up your desired image
Adjustments > Black and White
Adjustments > Brightness / Contrast (Adjust such that your image goes from solid black to bright white)
Add a new layer
Draw gradient on that layer
On that new layer, edit properties and change the blending mode to Multiply
Thank you!

Like this?
BINGO! & oddly enough, I think I figured it out. (after someone here said to use grayscale 1st)
I ended up using an already prepared gradient with the colors I wanted, then pasted the face as a new layer on top, but I lightened the opacity of the face. Voila.
How'd you get *that* brighter look on yours though? -

If no selection is active, the gradient tool
will cover all of the active layer.
The trick here is to make a selection first - then apply the gradient
Do you mean hit "Select all" 1st?

Perhaps it's only me, but I don't know what you mean by "change the colors on it gradient style." Change the colors it what way? Make them darker? Change the hue? Maybe you could add a little more detail on what you hope to achieve.
I have a photo of a face. I want to change the original colors of it & have it go gradually from blue (on the left) to yellow.

I've got 2 separate images. I want to take one & paste it on the other but before I do that, I'd want to change the colors on it gradient style, but whenever I try using that tool, my image vanishes & all I see are the colors.
What am I doing wrong? Its possible I'm using the wrong tool altogether.

How can I make my text look like this?

Have you correctly installed the font? What type of font is it? Can you use the font in paint.net?
I'm pretty sure its installed properly. I was able to use it fine without the plugin. Its called Victor Moscoso. Looks very 60s.
-
So is this plugin limited to only certain fonts? Because I'm trying to use it with a font I downloaded more recently & it's not coming up as an option.
(I have version 1.2. There an updated version I need?)

Where can I find Desaturate? Would Adjustments > Black & White work the same?
-
I want to replicate this effect on the face seen in the attachment, but in the colors of my choice. I'll be using a photo of myself. There a way to do that? I want to use just two colors.
Thanks!

I want to take a photo & have it faded into surrounding black. How is this done?
-
(Win 7, pc laptop)
My goal is to remove all the text here & then fill in the background by blending the black fading into light green sky.
Any suggestions?

"First duplicate your layer..."
Lost me there. I know how to duplicate a layer, but which layer? Of the larger image?
EER- Sometimes I did exactly that & still somehow in the process, I'd screw up & it'd get cut like the example shown. Guess it's in the size of the canvas?
-
I still haven't really gotten the swing of layering. (If that's in fact, the problem)
When I want to combine 2 or more pictures, my larger image gets cut off and shrunk. Like the attached example. I know I'm overlooking a simple step. Just have no idea what.
What am I doing wrong? Saving a PDN file in the equation anywhere?
Thanks!
-
Thanks, Ishi.
I downloaded Vibrance. Not really much luck with it though.
I attached an old photo as a sample. If you or someone here could advise as to how they might restore the colors back to "true-to-life", that'd be great.
Thanks again!

I've got dozens of old photos from the 70's & 80's I would *love* to sit & try fixing one day. By the time I'd scanned them all, (several years ago now), the colors had already suffered a decent amount of fade. To the point where it's really tricky restoring the right colors even with the tools available. (though I am pretty inexperienced doing this) Everything turns out too redish or too bluish or some weird unnatural looking color in between.
I installed the "Manual Color Correction" plug-in, but I found no tutorial for it. Is that the plug-in I need to do this right?
Help, anyone. Thanks!
-
Again, here's a photo I'd like to manipulate so that I can make my own phrase with the same "smoke trail text" on the same background.
For example, I'd like it to read- "Surrender Leroy".
How might that be done?
-
Pixey- Thanks a million! The video was an enormous help! Far more steps than I would've realized otherwise. I was successful! I had to start over a few times, but I managed to do it. I also had to download 2 plugins you used that I didn't have. (Align Object & AA's Assistant)
I guess it might help in the future if I just played with some of the features just to see what they do & how they work.
Thanks again!
-
Thanks so much, Pixey!
Ok, well, I got as far as step 5 & got stuck.
I went to Layers > Import from File, got my image & it totally covered the entire screen. Huge. Buried Michelle. (& I noticed the images within the Layers window shrunk a lot.)
What happened?
-
Thanks, everyone. You've been fantastic. Alas- I do think I need visual aid for this. Might be too advanced a project for me to do properly. Still can't wrap my head around doing the copy of the fingers (then opening another "layer" to paste them where I want them on the sign?)
-
Thank you again. What might the name of this procedure be? Or what is the main feature (or features) being used here?
-
I really appreciate everyone's patience here. Thank you.
BUT.... with DrewDale's advice with the duplicate Obama pic, (which I easily did), I'm now lost on where that step fits into NiteN's 2nd reply.
It'd be so much easier if there were a video tutorial for this. I know there are a bunch on Youtube, but I'm not sure what keywords I'd use to find it.
-
From what I understood the OP wants to replace the text with a photo.
Yup. Photo. Not text.
will cover all of the active layer.
Get my old plugins back?

I used paint.net for several years on my laptop but recently got a new one. Old one had version. 4.0.12 & the new one has 4.0.13.
It didn't occur to me that all my old plugins & whatnot that I'd added would be gone. Is there a way for me to install what I had from the old laptop? I barely remember now everything I added. Thanks.
