richardparker01 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've used Paint.Net for about a year and found it excellent. I use the same procedure on most, if not all, of my original photos (fake HDR): - make 2 copies of the original - MULTIPLY the top layer - OVERLAY the middle one - staying on the same layer, select BLACK and WHITE, then INVERT COLOURS - again on the same layer choose GAUSSIAN BLUR (about value 25) Then FLATTEN the 3 layers and fiddle about with the final photo until it is right This 8 stage procedure is tedious. Can I do all this with one button press, by writing a short macro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
