Kasper Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hello all! This sounds silly... but I was using a tool in paint.net a few years ago to get a specific result and now, wishing to duplicate it, I simply cannot find it in amongst all the new tools. I was hoping the 'history' or something could refresh my old brain but alas. So I was hoping some of you might be able to reverse-engineer the situation and refresh my memory as to what plugin/adjustment/tool I was using... The attached pictures show the original and the end result (BW) that I am hoping to duplicate - so how did I go about doing that... Really appreciate any help! Best regards, Kasper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixey Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 As well as the great suggestion, above, another possibility is 'Posterize' in the built-in Adjustments. So you would first use Black & White and then Posterize 3 - 5 times at full strength. Another Plugin that does something similar is called 'Poster' by @Red ochre to be found here.

lynxster4 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hi @Kasper Another plugin to use would be Red's EarthsnGreys found in his plugin pack. I could not find an individual thread for this plugin. Go to the plugin pack page and look for 'EarthsnGreys'; there is an example posted. It achieves almost an exact duplicate of what you're looking for. Choose 'close tone greys' in the drop-down menu and play with all the sliders. It's found in the 'Color' menu.

Kasper Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Dear all, Thanks for the quick and excellent suggestions. While I don't think any of them were the ones I was using previously they all do the same, but better :-). So brownie-points to you all and thank you for your help! All the best, Kasper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
