Thank you.

Hello everyone. I've been researching for a while on the ability to perform image processing on an image using C#, .NET 4.0. I have a WCF service that accepts images, detects whether there's a face in the image or not, and finds facial markers on the image. With these markers I can find specific locations of wrinkles on the face. The last part of this task is to use image processing to "smooth" out the wrinkles. I've used various blur and noise techniques to try to accomplish this, but the best effect I've produced still renders those area with somewhat of a blur. The effect I'm going for can work using Photoshop or GIMP manually, but trying to automate either software is becoming a very painful experience, especially using C# to do the job. In my search on how to accomplish my task, I've found Paint.NET, and was hoping that because the app is written in .NET, there would be some kind of interface into the software via libraries, SDK, or some other means of automating actions on an image when opened in Paint.NET. I understand people are building plug-ins for Paint.NET, and maybe what i'm looking for is to simply build a plug-in to do what needs to be done, but I'm very new to this technology and was hoping for someone to help me get started in the right direction. I'd really appreciate any help or education on whether Paint.NET can help me accomplish my goal. Thank you.
