There is an opactiy option on the 'General' tab. You can also apply the plugin to a separate layer and change the layer opacity.

The Text Pro plugin is a watermarked version. The plugin will operate normally, but images will be rendered with a watermark. You can order the full version for 19 euro. Shortly after completing the purchase you will receive an email with the registration key. The watermark will disappear once you activate the product online.

In the original program the Platform Target is x86 forcing the assembly to run as 32bit program. I fixed the problem but I'm not sure if it works well on a 64bit platform.

Feel free to use this plugin or any other program to draw text. If you need some spectacular text effects you can save yourself a lot of time (2 minutes???) for 19 euro. What about all these Google ads and 'Donate' buttons everywhere?

Maybe you are able to answer a few questions about the plugin interface. I didn't have the time to figure out how to use the srcArgs.Graphics object efficiently (that's why I use these preview windows). If I draw a gradient I use a PathGradientBrush and Graphics.FillPath(). This is a vector operation. Just like drawing lines, text, polygons. But in the plugin interface you have to fill each pixel for each rectangle (rois) like dstArgs.Surface[x, y] = pixel This is clearly a raster operation. How do you solve this efficiently without the use of clip regions?

Maybe in the next version. In the original design you can move, resize and rotate the entire gradient. Like a 'floating' selection.

Multi Color Gradient The Multi Color Gradient plugin helps you to create and edit a Multi-Color Gradient. Download Plugin from here: http://www.fotoview....lorGradient.zip To Install: Put the "MultiColorGradient.dll" file in the Paint.NET "Effects" directory This is usually "C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects" The effect is located in the Effects->Render submenu it now appears in the Effects Drop Drop-down Menu. How to use: Select the type of gradient, Linear, Radial, or Square. A Linear gradient is defined along a line specified by the width of the image and the direction of the gradient. A Radial or Square gradient is defined from the center to the boundary of the image. For a Linear gradient drag the Angle slider to change the direction of the gradient. Drag the Count slider to change the color count. Select the colors by clicking the color picker control. Drag the position sliders to change the postions of the interpolation colors. The color positions in the control specify percentages of distance along the gradient line. For example, a value of 20 specifies that this point is 20 percent of the total distance from the starting point. The postions in this control are represented by values between 0 and 100, and the first color in the gradient must be at position 0 and the last must be at postion 100. Click the randomize parameters button (dice button) to try out random settings in the preview dialog. Click the default values button (arrow button) to restore the default values. http://www.fotoview.nl

Great plugin, close to a real brush! But what about the 'square' splatters. Maybe you should use: pen.LineJoin = LineJoin.Round pen.StartCap = pen.EndCap = LineCap.Round

Psychedelic The Psychedelic filter creates a variety of psychedelic color effects. MODERATORS NOTE: This effect is incompatible with Paint.NET 4.0x Download: http://www.fotoview.nl/Psychedelic.zip To Install: Put the "Psychedelic.dll" file in the Paint.NET "Effects" directory This is usually "C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects" The effect is located in the Effects->Artistic submenu Psychedelic parameters: Amount - The strength of the effect. (0 - 100) Frequency - The color frequency (0 - 40) http://www.fotoview.nl

Unsharp Mask Unsharp masking is a traditional film compositing technique used to sharpen edges in an image. The Unsharp Mask filter corrects blurring introduced during photographing, scanning, resampling, or printing. It is useful for images intended for both print and online viewing. Download: http://www.fotoview.nl/UnsharpMask.zip To Install: Put the "UnsharpMask.dll" file in the Paint.NET "Effects" directory This is usually "C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects" The effect is located in the Photo submenu Unsharp Mask parameters: Amount - The amount of contrast to increase in the image's pixels. (0 - 100) Radius - The number of pixels to adjust around each edge. A lower value sharpens only the edge pixels, while a higher value sharpens a wider band of pixels. (5 - 200) Threshold - The difference in lightness values that adjacent pixels must have before they are sharpened. (0 - 100) Luminance only - Use this option to apply the effect only to the luminance channel. The unsharp mask can have a negative effect on the color balance when applied to the color data. http://www.fotoview.nl
