Blur Tool missing?

[stecaro]

Hello everybody,

I am new to Paint.net and I didn't find the Blur Tool (with a water drop icon).

Is there a plug-in to add it the the tool menu?

Thank you.

there is no "blur tool", only a blur effect. To make a blur tool, duplicate :DuplicateLayer: the layer with your image on it, then on the bottom layer, apply a gaussian blur (menu -> effects -> blur -> gaussian blur ) with the amount of your choice.

Now, select the clone stamp tool and lower the opacity of your primary color ( set it about 105).

Make a new layer :AddNewLayer: on top of all the others layers. On the blurred layer, click at the center of the image while holding CTRL, then, on your new layer, click at the exact same place.

Voila! you have your blur tool. Hope this helped

Thank you for your answer.

That seems very complicated !!!

Meanwhile I have downloaded The Gimp and the Blur Tool is available as standard.

Paint.NET has seven different blurs in the default Effects | Blurs menu.

To use one of them select the region you wish to blur and then click on the effect name in the Effects | Blur sub menu.
