How do we make glow in the background of the Images?

[shibby96]

Hi

I'd like to know in the Layer where you have the option in photoshop they have layer effects, like where you can add glow, shadow and stuff like that...

How do we do that here in Paint.net?

Please help! Thanks

Hi Shibby96. Welcome to the forum.

You've posted your question in the Newbie Playground area of the Tutorial Forum. While it might seem like the right area to post in, this area is actually reserved for tutorials suitable for Newbies. That makes sense when you think about it doesn't it?

As this is your first post I'll move it to the General Discussion & Questions section for you.

If you want an image glow, you got two option which is already installed with Paint.NET(They are different too each other):

- Go to Effects > Photo > Glow

or

- Double click the layer (or right click and "Layer properties") Then select "Glow" under blending > mode

edit:

Sorry, I tough you could use the Layer properties glow on a single picture. Anyways, you could use it to make it glow on another image.. Uhm, I'm not very good at explaining, so lets draw!:

I'm to lazy to resize them.

Then don't post them. Waaaaay too big. Resize, use links, or don't bother.

I don't find any rules on how big an image could be.. any ways. Whats the spoiler for then? I tough you used it when you had big images, so it did'nt slow down slow computers.

@shibby96:

As far as I know, you need to do this stuff with plug-ins. I don't think you can do this with layer properties.. correct me if I'm wrong.

- You can find the drop shadow effect in this plug-in pack
