I've used Paint.Net for about a year and found it excellent.
I use the same procedure on most, if not all, of my original photos (fake HDR):
- make 2 copies of the original
- MULTIPLY the top layer
- OVERLAY the middle one
- staying on the same layer, select BLACK and WHITE, then INVERT COLOURS
- again on the same layer choose GAUSSIAN BLUR (about value 25)
Then FLATTEN the 3 layers and fiddle about with the final photo until it is right
This 8 stage procedure is tedious. Can I do all this with one button press, by writing a short macro?
