Spottedfeather Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Are there any plugins that will let you make a picture look like it's from the 80s ? An effect something like an old VHS tape's distortions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitenurse79 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hi and welcome to the forum. This plugin (Curves+) http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=3749 will help you get that retro feel. And you can get additional presets here http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/21783-vintage-effect-pack-for-curves/ Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedfeather Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I got the plugins, but they won't install. I put them in the Effects folder, but they won't show up in any of the menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Did you restart paint.net after moving the plugins into the effects folder? No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Spottedfeather Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I got Curves+ to show up, but there isn't any Vintage choice like it says there's supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 See my answer in the Curves+ thread (which links to the Vintage pack thread).

nitenurse79 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Remember to copy the vintage presets for curves+ to your >Documents>Paint>NET user files folder, these are XML files not plugins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
