SAND33P Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Fiddle with your brightness and contrast, but the colours of your original image need to be pretty good, unless your prepared to go over the whole thing with new light and shading, then fiddling with colours and layer blends. Have a search for HDR effects otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario21897 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 do you know how i can get HDR effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Before this topic gets any further...what do you mean by "this effect." I clicked on the link and got a picture of a football player on a white background. Nice high-res image, but I can't tell what you mean by "this," and I imagine the others here are only guessing, in which case, you probably aren't getting the answers you are looking for.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Good point 'noob. The title is hardly descriptive and dangerously close to one cited in the Forum Rules. I'll edit it. I am also assuming that our poster wants the hyper-real-slightly-metallic effect Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 My attempt:1. Open your image (of a football player on a transparent background).2. Duplicate the single layer twice.3. Activate the center layer (of 3) and run Effects > Blur Surface Blur as Brad.Pike suggested. This removes a lot of the detail. 4. Activate the top layer and run the Metallize plugin with these settings: 0, 2, Grayscale=unchecked, Luminosity. This adds a slightly metallic sheen. 5. With the top layer still activated press F4 and lower the opacity to around 40. This step so the metallic sheen doesn't overpower the image. 6. Press Ctrl + Shift + F to flatten the image. 7. Duplicate the single layer. 8. Activate the top layer and press F4. 9. Change the Blend mode to Multiply and reduce the opacity until the overdark areas are toned down (I used 70-80 in the example image). 10 Repeat step 6. 11 Save.

mario21897 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 It works pretty well. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm sure it can be refined some more. That was a fairly quick attempt Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario21897 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 is there any other way i could get a similar effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Probably many ways. There are lots of tools and plugins for Paint.NET. Try fiddling with the settings in each step to see if you can come up with a combination that you like.
