Cookies Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 This plugin simulate images as if they had X count of bits in total both monochrome and RGB are included screenshot: before: after (dithering - Bayer 8x8): after (dithering - Floyd Steinberg): after (no dithering): As you see the colors got reduced when the setting is 3bit RGB but with dithering enabled it doesn't look that harsh as if there wasn't dithering enabled. If you are wondering why i didn't include 8bit then press Ctrl+Shift+G when you have a colored image open, 8bit monochrome is the same greyscaling an image everything from 9bit and above is colored, in 16bit mode it add's an extra bit to the green component because the human eye is more sensitive to green then red and blue (which can be read in the wiki page linked to below) Put the DLL into Paint.NET/Effects folder and "Paint.NET User Files" folder in the zip into your documents folder i used this wiki page as guideline, although the results i get is nothing like the ones on the page i do still believe my results are good i also got the test image from that wiki page Change Log: 13-07-2011: cleared changelog as there was no reason for it to be there, completely changed the plugin since its start Changes include: 3 hard coded dithers if no dithers are getting loaded Custom dithers in XML format Error diffusion dithers are now represented correct, no "randomization" in them anymore caused by multithreading DLL: SimulateColorDepth.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookies Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Very nice. Thanks ! Thank you Updated, added dithering and 4 different dithering modes for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookies Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) another little update adding 3 new dithering's made by using my head Edited July 11, 2011 by Cookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookies Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Updated, completely changed how this thing works. Will work on another plugin for making dither algorithms for this later, also might make this multithreaded later (Plugin update on my birthday ... Wooo!)

pdnnoob Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Happy birthday and thx for the plugin! This may actually come in handy sometime soon...

wakanayumi Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure if I should post this in this topic or in a new topic in the "Bug reports" section, but I'll try posting it here first. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, & my version of PDN is 3.5.10 portable. Anyway, on 4-25-2012, I downloaded "Simulate color depth" from here. It works very well mostly, except for this bug. You need to have the "Dither" box checked. Then, if you try to use "Stucki" dithering (which doesn't seem to work at all), it will ignore your attempt to use it, & changing the dithering from "Stucki" to a different dither crashes the plug-in. I'm surprised that nobody has posted this before now (I would've posted about it earlier, but my circumstances kept me away from the internet for a very long time). Also, the only ditherings that I can find are "Floyd-Steinberg", "Stucki", & "Bayer Ordered 8x8". Any help with that? Finally, I hope that in a future version, you add color versions of all of the bit modes. I trust that I won't have to try too hard to convince you that the option of keeping your color images colored is as important as making them gray-scaled.

RandomMan181 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 wait can you make a new version of Simulate Color Depth for 5.0.13 Please. what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactilis Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 @RandomMan181 The version of Simulate Color Depth that you can download from the first post is this topic works in 5.0.13. What makes you think that it does not? Have you unzipped the downloaded file and put the .dll in the Effects folder? See https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/1708-how-to-install-pluginsgeneral-plugin-troubleshooting-thread/ Also, please read the Forum Rules before posting again; read them all but note in particular #10.

Tactilis Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 @buk 1. Stop shouting. 2. Quit this repeated 'Hide contents' nonsense. It just wastes people's time repeatedly clicking to see what you wrote. 3. Report properly in what way it "doesn't work" for you. FYI, the plugin works OK for me on paint.net 5.0.13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MylarDaleTolo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 When I tried to use that plugin, it crashed (but got the option to close just the plugin without closing Paint.NET) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 ^^ Confirmed. Crash seems to be related to setting the Dither Method to Stucki.
