Marina S Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 im totally new to paint.net but i know the basics and everything. but i was wondering if paint.net was capable of airbrushing out skin blemishes or any other flaws in a picture? do you use the cloning tool or something? i really don't know. some help would be lovely =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncfan51 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Paint.NET currently does not feature an Airbrush Tool, but it does indeed have a Clone Stamp Tool. For fixing blemishes, I usually use Ed Harvey's True Blur (plugin)...

Wither Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 You could use the Clone Stamp with lowered alpha to fake airbrushing. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=22096 Sort of like what's explained there without all the extra layers.

UFWHOA Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I do a lot of photo edits, particular portrait shots. For cleaning up blemishes, what I do is use the select tool to select the blemish area and use the median blur to reduce the appearances of the blemish because it helps draw more of the skin tone towards the blemish, reducing the redness of it. Reducing blemishes while maintain the natural appearance of skin tones is very tricky. You have to get used to using median blur to spread out the skin tones, gaussian blur to feather out any edges, and even use layers and blends such as lighten and darker, etc. There are various methods to reduce blemishes, some are better than other depending on the situation too. It takes practice but after a little while of doing it, you'll begin to understand how to approach cleaning up a blemish in any picture and make it look clean and natural. Hope this helped.
