Ed's Egregious Effects [Update 2007-09-15]

Ed Harvey · April 21, 2007

2007-09-15 "Safe" versions of of the Lattice and Weave effects are now available as part of the 'Ed Harvey Effects' package, and so have been removed...

2007-05-27 Added some example images.

2007-05-14 A couple of new new effects.

WARNING:

These effects do not work correctly if you have any selection active; In fact they could frak-up things so badly that even undo cannot rescue you.

They should only be used on whole layers...I'm not kidding - you have been warned!

OK, here are a couple of effects that will probably send Rick into apoplexy because they do NOT 'play-nice' with the PDN plug-in system. Hence the awful pun in the menu name...

Ed-gregious

[*:9a88a]Fast Blur
[*:9a88a]Dither - Floyd-Steinberg HalfTone
[*:9a88a]Dither - Atkinson HalfTone

Zip package (all Ed's Effects) >> EdHarveyEffects.zip

(Zip provided by @ReMake and available until Ed edits this post)

Fast Blur

The Fast Blur is, as it's name suggests, many times faster than the 'standard' Paint.Net implementation; However, user responsiveness is traded off for overall speed... you will not get any visual feedback during the effect calculation and the UI can be a bit 'jerky'.

Dither - Floyd-Steinberg HalfTone

The classic error-diffusion dither.

Dither - Atkinson HalfTone

This dither has an interesting pattern, and can be better at maintaining details in an image, but loses the extreme shadows and highlights.

I'm scared Ed...

I'll let you know how it gos.

Yata · April 21, 2007

Working well with something selected using Atlkinson Dither

So dose the Floyd

And as for the Fast Blur it was a little clunky trying to move the slider. Also works good with selections.

Everything is fine for me

Yata · May 13, 2007

Wow... I'm the only one who posted in all this time...

:shock:

I think the weave effect is great for texturing... very interesting. No problems this time

Down · May 13, 2007

Weave is extremely cool.

I tried to achieve that effect with tile reflections and fragments....

And Lattice I like very much. Techy.

Good work again.

Hey it's 14th of May already in Australia, here's only the 13th in Ireland.

Myrddin · May 13, 2007

Halftone! This is in my opinion much better than your other one Ed, thankyou.

Will you be doing a CMYK version or just keeping to the monotone style?

OmgWtfBbq · May 24, 2007

Ed, not sure if this is the right one but I figure it doesnt matter since it applies to you.

Had this crash log when I was using Cross Blur:\

I was making the most AMAZING picture ever and it was beautiful and then you're blue effect was used and PDN crashed. And I cried.

Ed Harvey · May 24, 2007

Had this crash log when I was using Cross Blur:\

Are you using the latest version?

I believe this bug was fixed some time ago... :?

Ed.

OmgWtfBbq · May 25, 2007

Yep newest version, I had already used cross blur once and chucked it in again then crash.

If it makes a difference I had just used Tile Reflection and a few Zoom blurs.

Rick Brewster · May 25, 2007

Hmm, how about posting some screenshots in the first post, in order to show them all off

Sozo · May 25, 2007

What kinds of uses can dithering plugins (such as these) be put to?

Venom · May 25, 2007

This works fine to me. Thanks for this plugin.

Ya screen shots would be a good thing in here.

Ed Harvey · May 26, 2007

Done

Ash · May 26, 2007

Weave & Fast blur is very cool

May I ask if you can make Weave Size go above 100?

Found a bug with Weave, Using on a layer with image everything seems fine. But if use on layers with nothing (transparent).

If you move around either sliders, it will keep all angle and size effect on screen (does not refresh) and soon will be just a black filled screen.

Thanks for your time.

OmgWtfBbq · May 27, 2007

I found that too Ash ^^

Really screws up the session doesn't it

Ash · May 27, 2007

A way to get around that bug for now:

Adjust settings to your liking on layer with image, click OK.

Then Undo, pick the layer you want to Use Weave on,

Use waeve again with settings alreasy set @ what you want.

I'm sure a fix will come soon

How about A waeve effect with a random look, so it looks like bricks or tiles like....maybe it won't be called waeve.....hmmmmmm

OmgWtfBbq · May 27, 2007

Yea we really need more texture renders!

Ash · May 27, 2007

The bug allowed me to do this.

Waeve----Size--click on slider, 20--40---60 and this is what you wil get....

It's pretty cool, maybe keep it as an option??

Clicking on angle 20--40--60--80--will give another cool effect

Kryptonite!!

Sozo · May 28, 2007

Incorporate some more bugs into your next release Ed.

The_Lionhearted · May 29, 2007

Wow...nice job Ash!

Ash · May 29, 2007

Wow...nice job Ash!

Thanks

I guess you missed it in the pictorium :o

The_Lionhearted · May 30, 2007

Wow...nice job Ash!

Thanks

I guess you missed it in the pictorium :o

Yeah, I've been really rushed when I browse through here...I only have about a half hour at work to check up on all my internet stuff... :shock: so I have to type fast and run...

blooper101 · July 17, 2007

I really do like your effects. Keep making more because I'm to lazy and stupid to make my own.

Incorporate some more bugs into your next release Ed.

:lol:
