Marilynx Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I was doing something with BarbieQue's Jewelry Making Tutorial. It calls for Fast FX Glow in Step 10. This is an older tutorial, so is this add-on still around? If not, what can I use instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to the forum topic, but I don't know if the plugin is compatible with 5.0.x. https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/18819-ed-harveys-fastfx/ From the plugin description, at the time the plugin was written it was a faster version of Paint.NET's built-in Glow effect. The built-in Glow effect was rewritten to be GPU accelerated in Paint.NET 5.0, so I am guessing that is no longer the case.

barbieq25 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Hmm, I have the FastFX & it still works on my machine. I hope you can get some good results. I am keen to see how it goes. I wrote the tutorial a long time ago. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes @Marilynx they are both still working fine for me 😊 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

I am keen to see how it goes. I wrote the tutorial a long time ago. Well, the metal-making part of it is still my favorite method for acquiring it. I know that there is supposed to be a metallize in the newer PDN, but I do not really like the way it comes out. It appears that just "Glow" can have the same settings as FASTGLOW, so I am going to experiment with that.
