TheMasterSwordMaster Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I want to know if there's a way to change the hue of a picture in a gradient. I'm editing some pictures mainly with recoloring and some elements are lost simply because I cannot do so. Any feedback would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm not sure what you mean by "change the hue of a picture in a gradient." I think that if you explain what you want in more detail, someone can very possibly suggest a method of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 If you duplicate the layer and change the hue of the new layer, you can use the gradient tool set to transparency mode to make it gradually change hue If that's not what you're after, maybe try a few different blend modes as well Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Sorry, I also don't really know what you mean by, "change the hue of a picture in a gradient". In the adjustments tab you can change an image's color with either Hue/Saturation, Levels, or Curves (curves tutorial). See the paint.net documentation to know the basics of paint's adjustments: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/AdjustmentsMenu.html Or perhaps the gradient mapping plugin can help you? (how to install plugins?)http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/6265-gradient-mapping/ Here is a tutorial on gradient mapping.http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/6398-the-wonderful-world-of-gradient-mapping/ If you want plugins that help to re-color an image, here are a few:Recolor ChoiceHue/Saturation PlusConditional Hue/SaturationEdit:After reading pdnnoob's reply and re-reading your question, maybe this is what you are wanting:1) Add a new layer above your image.2) Change the layer's blending mode to overlay, or multiply, or to whichever blending mode you want.3) Use the Gradient tool with your desired colors to draw a gradient on the new layer. It's simple, but it will change your image's colors and can look cool depending on the colors and blending mode you use.
