ClissaT Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Hoping someone recognises this effect & can point me in the right direction. So the computer tech put a new hard drive in my pc without asking! Even though I had whole images, backups, etc, I still lost heaps of work & software. One of the casualties was Paint.Net But my pc was still running perfectly in safe mode so I could still do work on it. Had I been told he would put a new hard drive I could have taken many screen shots of the drop down menus in my Paint Adjustments & Effects lists so I knew what to import again later. Some of the plug-ins I have since found again but I can't remember the name of this tool but I think it is a older warp tool. Here is an image I made with it. It was just a photo of a brightly coloured bird but I turned it into this lovely thing. reduced digital art slice 1.jpg Several years ago I did download a package of effects tools but its name & creator are unknown to me now.

AndrewDavid Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Hi @ClissaT Welcome to the Forum. Good thing I'm not on strike LOL Looks like a 3 step process to me Run Clouds at default settings Run Dents and adjust to size desired Add color (this can be done in many ways). My quick answer to get you close. Other members may chime in with other suggestions Let us know if this works for you. Here is a comparison Dents by Andrew Donaldson, on Flickr Edited January 16, 2019 by AndrewDavid Added Comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyReZ Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) @ClissaT It is incredulous that you would loose software with a whole image backup but I know nothing of your backup protocols. I have looked at the effect that AndrewDavid indicated and he is correct! @AndrewDavidWhen I posted my initial response I did not check out the Effect\Distort\Dent. In my mind I confused the effect of Dent with the effect of Bulge' and thought that "This can't be it!" I was wrong when I suggested that it was the DistortMirror.dll by Madjik. I have corrected my error in this edit! Apologies!Dent is a Built-In Effect of Paint.NET now (and so is Bulge) 🙂 Edited January 16, 2019 by HyReZ add nfo / correct mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yup - I concur with @AndrewDavid that you possibly used Dents.
