Shamrock22 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I am attempting to use Paint.Net to replace Photoshop on my new Vista computer, but I’m finding in awkward. Most photo editing programs make is easy to crop, color correct, dodge and burn. I have found how I can crop, but color correction seems to be limited to ’hue’ control only. I also need dodge and burn control. Is there a way to accomplish these things or am I using the wrong program to editor photos? Thanks for your help.

salu Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 i think you double click the frame in the layers window and chose your mode to burn or dodge... i hope it helps (sorry :oops: ) Quote Deviant Art page of cookies I = She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Also, there other colour correction plugins available in the Plugin section, for example: Colour Balance; Conditional Hue/Saturation; and a few others. Take a look and see what takes your fancy. Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Salu was speaking in IM speak, which is discouraged on this forum. He means "your mode."

Shamrock22 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Salu & david.atwell Thanks for your help. I guess I'm showing my age. I've found the layers - properties - mode, but when I click on the picture I see an overlay that wants to move. I don't see how to darken just a portion of the picture. At least I'm pointed in the right direction now. I'll look into it further tomorrow. I do a lot of photo editing for my news site. Do you think this is a good program for that? Thanks, Shamrock22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSPhoto Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I think what Shamrock is looking for is the ability to spot edit. Similar to the way the cloning tool works. This is not available yet but should come with brush ability (possibly in a future version) As for color correction Shamrock use the curves+ plug in Follow the link to read about it and download the plugin. I love it! http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4394 Quote eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedHONDA Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Even though Paint.NET doesn't have a Burn/Dodge tool, there's still a healthy alternative.
