AlphaMaskBrush


There have been many requests for an alpha-mask feature in PDN and also a plugin - but this plugin simply imported an alpha-mask saved as a file.

This plugin, in a similar fashion to custom brushes and polygon tool, allows you to draw an alpha-mask onto the image and see the results the minute you let-go of the mouse button. You can even continue work on the mask after you click OK by simply re-opening the plugin.

Update Log
1.5
  • Fixed undo bug.
  • Added option to show image in mask creation window.
1.7
  • Overlay image option now default.
  • Changes are now made when checkbox state is changed.
  • Selected colour reveal panel resize window problem fixed.

I bow down at your feet.


*quivers in excitement*

EDIT: I don't like the UI...You have to basically guess, making it near impossible to do anything with the plugin. Wouldn't it be easier if you had the image on the plugins canvas?Also, both the undo and reset buttons don't work for me.

I see, it only shows in the dialog.

I aim to address both of those concerns in the next version.

Perhaps - perhaps - it would be a good idea to integrate this feature in Custom Brushes - it seems very similar to me. Actually I don't know if this is possible, especially concerning a clean UI.

However, thanks for a new plugin.

IMO that would just make the interface too bloated.

Maybe not if there would be something like tabs - but that's almost the same as two plugins. Yeah, you're right.

Even though I've just downloaded 1.7, it shouldn't be saying 1.5 on the version number:

(I just downloaded 1.7 now)

This looks pretty awesome. :-) Nice stuff. I'm impressed, sabrown.

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

It seems complicated.
Can't I make a new layer draw a mask with the brush and then select the outside of it with the magic wand tool?
What are the advantages of this plugin?

If you did that you could not see the effects as you create the mask.
