[Help editing pictures]

Thank you for the quick response and for the explanation. 

[Help editing pictures]

I am new to Paint.Net and new to editing pictures!  I have a picture that was edited by someone else, what I need to know is, how do I remove the effects he put on the picture?

 

Apparently he wrote (using an editor) something on the background, then using an editor, covered it up with and effect.  I need to see what he wrote before covering it up.

 

I really would like to know how to editor picture in general for I find this really really cool!

 

Thanks!

[Latest Boltbait pack]

Hi,

Why are there lines through my revealed hidden picture? I am running the latest Paint.Net and BoltBait Pack.

Thanks,

[boltbait latest pack]

Hi,

I recently lost my hard drive and had to re-install Paint.Net and all the plugins I use. When I downloaded BoltBait's Pack, it was a new release. I was excited to see the enhancements and thought no more of it.

I use Paint.Net for a lot of things, mainly for a hobby, which probably will be frowned upon, geocaching. I create Avatars, Geocoins and several other items of the likes however, one other thing I use it for is

to solve puzzle caches.

One type of puzzle is to hide an image inside another image. The hidden image is usually a QR barcode, or a Microsoft smart tag. Today, the one I am solving is a smart tag. After clicking on the effect tab and clicking to

reveal hidden image, the smart tag is there, but it has many lines running through it.

I have had someone do the same thing but running an older version of Paint.net and the plugin pack and it works great. This could just be a UE (user error) in the way I have setup the re-install.

If someone has a suggestion on how to solve my blurred, line filled image, I would greatly appreciate the help.

To better understand, see attached picture.

Thank you for your help! I attempted what you suggested and it didn't clear up the picture. This may be beyond me!

[Filter effects]

Hi,

I have used Paint.Net for a while but only for basic usage. This is my first post on the forum so guide me if I am posting in the wrong area.

I have a picture that was sent to me from someone asking for help to remove the effects of a filter. I can plainly see an area in the picture where the colors are not natural to the picture. My question is how do I remove the extra colors without messing up what was behind them? It appears someone used a blur or smudge filter in this one area. I will be happy to attach the picture but I am not sure if that is proper for the forum.

Thanks in advance.

Kent
