pdnnoob Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Add a new layer and set the blend mode to multiply. Then, using the paintbrush tool, color the flowers. Stay inside the edges. It doesn't have to be perfect because... Use Gaussian blur to blend the color.

The flowers had no color in the first place (white flowers), so those options won't really work here, though I highly recommend taking a look at the pleasantville effect tutorial (second link), as it uses a technique that may help you in your quest Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

cindylee73 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Thank you for your quick responses! I used to work in Photoshop...about three years ago at a very beginner level. I did know to do layers but I was missing the blend mode part! You don't use it you lose it (: but thank goodness I am picking it up again with help of course!
