Pinhole effect help/Larger feather request

[bechuya]

i'm quite new to paint.net and i've been trying to figure out how to apply a pinhole effect for a while. i read a blog and i followed steps, however, this required using the feather tool, but the radius only goes up to 10.

for example, this is an image that i edited on gimp. the feather radius goes up to 100, but an even larger radius would be more useful.

after (applied b&w and added some grain, but the pinhole effect is clear anyway)

Is there a Pinhole plugin out there? or alternatively, is there such thing in Paint.NET for the feather radius to exceed at least 100? if not, i would like to request these.

Lomography.

Or Vignette plugin

See if that helps.

[bechuya]

thanks, but i've tried the lomography plugin, it comes pretty damn close. but most of the time, the image comes out too bright

I edited my post while you were reading.

Please check.

hmm, i'll check out the vignette plugin.

[bechuya]

the vignette plugin is just what i was looking for thanks.

now if only there was a larger feather!

You're welcome, why do you need larger feather?

[bechuya]

well, following a tutorial that i found on another website (is it against rules to post it?) i've found that the picture looks more realistic.

here's an example;

following tutorial (using feather (100 radius) and adjusting curves, done on Gimp)

vignette effect

i hope you can see what i mean, i'm not too good at explaining things.

also, i think a larger feather radius would come in handy in other situations. like working in high res where a radius of 10 might be too small.

You can also do it that way using PDN,

On a new layer, fill black, use :AlphaChannel: (Use right mouse button from center of image and drag outwards), then adjust curves as you need.

You can adjust to any amount you like.

[bechuya]

that's an idea. i used the gradient tool before, but instead of adjusting curves like you suggested, i simply turned down the brightness. thanks for the help!

Or, its very simple to adjust the feather code, If they have the source code released, just change the [0,10] to [0,100] at the top.
