avim1968 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Hi BoltBait in your outline selection plugin, you color along the inside line of the selection area. can you add the option to color along the OUTSIDE line of the selection area , without the need to inverse the selection ? question -> can you make any changes to the selection it self or this is something that only Rick can do in his selection code ? thank you Avi Edited June 13, 2012 by avim1968 Quote "DDAP=Don't Drink And Post!" :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi BoltBait in your outline selection plugin, you color along the inside line of the selection area. can you add the option to color along the OUTSIDE line of the selection area , without the need to inverse the selection ? I'm afraid that is totally impossible. You see, the Paint.NET plugin system is very strict in regard to the pixels that effects can change. Only selected pixels can be changed. If you tried to change pixels that are not selected, Paint.NET would not allow it. This is a limitation of the plugin system itself. Sorry.

avim1968 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hi I see. thank you so I guess that a plugin that can change a selection area is also not possible , right ? Avi Quote "DDAP=Don't Drink And Post!" :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red ochre Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'd love to see BoltBait write a codelab book - great talent for succinctly explaining - not assuming the reader is an expert but still not patronising. I'm wonder if Rick/BoltBait could earn a little revenue from PDN's use as both a brilliant graphics program and an educational resource by publishing a small book. It's certainly less intimidating than Visual studio and gives instantly visible (and usuable) results. Being nearly 49 , I'm probably not the target readership but 'our' generation had things like the Commodore 64/ Sinclair etc to play with. I'm sure the kids today must find it hard to get a 'taste' of what programming can do. And a little understanding of how graphics actually work on computers is useful for artists/ illustrators/ designers/ photographers etc etc too. Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'd really like it if Bevel Selection had a wider range. The current limit is 50. Any reason why it couldn't be raised to 100? Pretty please??

ratty redemption Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 hi boltbait, is it possible for your outline selection to include an option to use the primary or secondary colors in pdn? Quote ratty redemption deviantart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 hi boltbait, is it possible for your outline selection to include an option to use the primary or secondary colors in pdn? V3.5 of the plugin does default the color of the outline to the primary color set in pdn.

ratty redemption Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) V3.5 of the plugin does default the color of the outline to the primary color set in pdn. oh cool, i do actually have that version installed, i wonder what i was doing wrong? i was seeing a default black color in the plugin, and yet my primary was brown at the time... although, i have just tested this with a new image and it works perfectly.

Pratyush Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi Boltbait, can you combine all these selection tool i.e. outline, bevel, shadow, feather, gradient fill together as a single plugin. they can be very useful under name of styles.

They are combined into a single DLL called SelectionTools.dll and they all appear under a single menu called Effects > Selection.

geogey Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 why doesn't the bevel selection not work? did i messed up something a bit or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Effects > Selection > Bevel Selection" bevels by following the selection outline (the dashed line). You have selected the "Keep original alpha" checkbox... therefore the bevel selection will bevel a square and then set the alpha to 0 because you had original alpha of 0 on your selection. Solution: Either selection the white areas using the magic wand before running the effect, or run the "Effects > Object > Bevel Object" plugin instead. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UserXtremE Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Is the bevel plugin having problems? I'm not seeing it in the folder, or in Paint.net, and I really need it for a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
