Magnifier Effect Plugin

What's this?
This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Distort.
It is a evolution of the Ed Harvey's Lens. I had a discussion with him about it to have his agreement to publish my version.
The improvements are :
- offset: to move the center.
- independant slider for vertical/horizontal radius.
- range from -200 up to 400.
- icon ;)
- anti aliasing

Download it!
Plugin Magnifier.dll
Posted ImageHere is the DLLPosted Image

The source is available with the plugins package!

How to install
Close Paint.net
Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects

The User interface

...Choose the amount (negative values will flip the image).

...Choose the radius for X & Y.

...Move the center using the offset.

...Select the quality. The antialiasing is working on the selection area. To avoid to blur the whole picture first create a selection...

Some examples:

Working really hard for that GE award this year, eh, MadJik? Man, you keep outdoing yourself, and this is definitely going into my Plug-in Directory. What will you think up next?

Now, with Magnifier and Perlin Texture working in tandem.... :mrgreen:

Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day.

Awesome plug in Madjik. Definitely one of your best.

This has great potential for making planets.

I would love the option to automatically delecte everything that is not 'magnified' when clicking OK. I love using this to make planets (somehow Shape3D makes it looks like a plastic ball everytime), but having to manually delete the surrounding 'rest' is a pain in the neck :( (also the AA is useless then :/)
