Wow. That's really nice. Just what I had in mind. Thanks a lot, I hope it will be useful to other people too. I think it would be a great addition to the standard gradient tool.

You can use the PDN color picker with 0 tolerance on the image i've attached. It's pretty clear that the color changes throughout the image height in both cases.

This is not the issue at hand. If you try to edit the image you can see that the colors change throughout the height of the image in both cases. What I think is the explanation is that the gaussian blur formula does not blend linear, and the gradient does Now i'm just wondering if it wouldn't be a nice option to have when making gradients that you can select linear or gaussian blending? or is it just me that thinks that the gaussian blur looks much better?

Hi I am wondering why the gradients that paint.net generate look so dull, and i've experimented with creating the gradient by just filling two colors and then applying gaussian blur. Is there a reason why the gradient looks dull? and is there already a tool for creating a gradient like a gaussian blur provides? it looks like the gradient tool creates a lot of "in between" color, in my example gray. I've attached an example. The gadient is on the left, gaussian blur on the right.
