neohtet Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi, Is that possible to add a glossy layer on the full photo or picture to make them glossy in paint.net. Any answer will be much appreciated. Thanks Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Yes. On a new layer, draw your gloss in white, then set the layer opacity to something between 50 and 150. The key to making something look glossy is to understand how lighting works so you can make a convincing shine. If you don't have time for that and the object is relatively simple, just make the top 1/3 glossy.

pdnnoob Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 There are various shortcuts/simplifications that can be used depending on the nature of the image. If you could, post a sample of the image you are working on. If not, a description of the background and of the object you wish to make glossy would be helpful Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.
