Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hi Papy1950 - welcome to the forum. Your question is asked surprisingly often. Here's a recent offering click here Using the tools that Paint.NET offers out of the box, try this: 1. Open the image. 2. Duplicate the layer :DuplicateLayer: 3. With the focus on the upper layer, press F4 to access the layer properties dialog. 4. In the Layer Properties dialog, set the Blend Mode to Multiply. 5. Merge the upper layer into lower with :MergeLayerDown: 6. Run Effects > Photo > Sharpen with the amount you like the best. (I trialled Amount = 6). 7. Run Sharpen again ( hint: Ctrl + F runs the last effect again with same settings). How does that look to you? I can't attempt to read it because it's French to me 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...
