How to turn an image into a gradient?

[torterraillager]

Well, is there any plugin or way to make a 2-color image look like a gradient in paint.net?

Could you show us an example of what you are trying to achieve please?

Something like that(left: gradient, right: gaussian blur):

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused as to what you are asking 

 

You want an image - with 2 colors - to look like a gradient?

 

What is the color of the original image?

 

Perhaps pick the two colors of your original image, say red and white.

Make a new layer above the image and draw out a gradient.

Then play with the blend modes to see what you get.

Have you tried running Gaussian Blur at 200px?

Perhaps this is what you are asking for @torterraillager

I hope that the OP provide an example as I am struggling understanding the request for help.

To draw a gradient, select the Gradient tool and click and drag on the canvas. The gradient will be drawn as a transition between the Primary and Secondary colors ( Color Mode) as the mouse moves. After the mouse button is released, the gradient can be adjusted by dragging the Control Nubs .
