that's an idea. i used the gradient tool before, but instead of adjusting curves like you suggested, i simply turned down the brightness. thanks for the help!

well, following a tutorial that i found on another website (is it against rules to post it?) i've found that the picture looks more realistic. here's an example; following tutorial (using feather (100 radius) and adjusting curves, done on Gimp) vignette effect i hope you can see what i mean, i'm not too good at explaining things. also, i think a larger feather radius would come in handy in other situations. like working in high res where a radius of 10 might be too small.

the vignette plugin is just what i was looking for thanks. now if only there was a larger feather!

hmm, i'll check out the vignette plugin.

thanks, but i've tried the lomography plugin, it comes pretty damn close. but most of the time, the image comes out too bright

i'm quite new to paint.net and i've been trying to figure out how to apply a pinhole effect for a while. i read a blog and i followed steps, however, this required using the feather tool, but the radius only goes up to 10. for example, this is an image that i edited on gimp. the feather radius goes up to 100, but an even larger radius would be more useful. before after (applied b&w and added some grain, but the pinhole effect is clear anyway) Is there a Pinhole plugin out there? or alternatively, is there such thing in Paint.NET for the feather radius to exceed at least 100? if not, i would like to request these.
