ReMake 558 Report post Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Pyrochild wrote a marvelous Gradient Mapping plugin. However, its possibilities are uncovered not completely. I found some gradients at our Forums. Note: gradients for old version of a plugin (like MiguelPereira's Gradients) are incompatible with the new version and can lead to crash paint.net. Gradients.zip by MiguelPereira for new version Gradient Mapping. Contains 4 gradients: Lemony, Rainbow, Weird, and Weird2. Sarkut's Yellow Gold gives golden color to elements of your image. ThermalImage by natjo1986. It fades from purple to red or fading from cold then to hot. Pop_Art_Hope colors the image in PopArt style. Pratyush's Metallic Presets contains 16 different gradients of shades of metal. Pratyush's Sky Presets contains 23 different gradients type of sky. I made some presets to stimulate usage of Gradient Mapping.Note: put in a folder Gradient Mapping only gradients necessary for you. At a large number of gradients, you can not see them all in the drop-down list of gradients. Simples.zip contains 14 different two-color gradients. Chocolate.zip contains 9 different gradients of chocolate color. Fruity.zip contains 13 different gradients with fruit undertones. Golden.zip contains 9 different gradients of golden color. Metalls.zip contains 5 different gradients of shades of metal. Neon.zip contains 10 different gradients like a neon glow. Rainbow.zip contains 9 different gradients in rainbow tones. Bokeh.zip contains 11 different gradients which allow to paint parts of the image in color inherent Bokeh effect. Colors.zip contains 8 different multi-colored gradients. Harmony.zip contains 7 different multicolor gradients. Spectrum.zip contains 5 different four-colored gradients. Vintage.zip contains 10 different preset for changing the image like a vintage photo. Silvery.zip contains 10 different presets with silver shades. Pop_Art.zip contains 15 different presets for creation of portraits in Pop Art style. I hope to see your work with presets for Gradient Mapping. Open for itself the wonderful world of colors! To be continued...

The gradient Mapping plugin won't load folders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixey 2,927 Report post Posted February 21, 2017 Hi @sashwilko You have to first find your Paint.net User Files on your computer, then go to Effect Presets and in there you will find the Gradient Mapping Folder. Copy the colors into that. Good luck . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynxster4 1,805 Report post Posted February 21, 2017 @sashwilko, pick the gradients you want to try out and put them directly into the 'Gradient Mapping' folder. That's the only way they will work. You'll be doing a lot of 'swapping'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sashwilko 428 Report post Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks for the replies, I know where the files go. but sadly without examples of what effect they create, it is basically a case of loading on a trial and error basis ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReMake 558 Report post Posted February 21, 2017 At this time about 100 preset are presented. Graphics of each preset will demand a lot of place in the post. Therefore it is necessary to check their actions by use of each of them. Maybe this will help: The Wonderful World of Gradient Mapping! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had almost forgotten about this tutorial (thanks for the reminder!). I have used it in the past and it's a great starting point, so I also recommend it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LionsDragon 674 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Thank you so much @ReMake! Until today, I didn't know how badly I needed to be able to create metal in red (my favorite color). I suspect I'm going to be using Gradient Mapping--and your fabulous presets--a lot now. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
