The Nude Effect

I've mentioned before that I use Paint.NET to handle my images both here and at The Sleaze. It's a fine application (particularly as it is free), with many great features. I especially like the effects which can be applied to images, many of these are developed by users - there's a forum you can visit where prototype versions of new effects plug-ins are demonstrated and available for download. However, there's one effect which has never been developed there - the nude effect. What I'd really like is to be able to take a photograph of a clothed woman and be able to apply an effect to it which will produce a simulation of what they would look like naked. OK, it wouldn't be 100% accurate, things like nipple type and size would have to be largely guesswork, but it would at least give you some idea of what they'd look like starkers.

You could increase the accuracy of the nude picture by including an interface where you enter variables like height, weight, waist measurement, that sort of thing. Once you've got your basic nude picture, you could toggle various features like pubic hair style, or even nipple type. I'm convinced that if they were to develop a plug in along these lines, Paint.NET would become the killer application for male PC users. It would save us so much time - we devote so much of our intellectual capacity to trying to imagine what female friends and acquaintances might look like without any clothes on, this would do it for us. All you'd need would be a full-length photo. The advent of camera phones means that obtaining such a picture need no longer be a problem - they can be taken surreptitiously. Indeed, you can now also snatch pictures of complete strangers - that woman with the great arse walking in front of you, for instance - and digitally undress them. Trust me, this one's a winner!
