Thank you @dipstick for the 'ObjectEdge' suggestion! It solved a problem I was having achieving a certain effect. @Red ochre ....yes, you definitely have to use "EdgeShader' on the text first before 'TG Angle' will work! Thank you, again for a wonderful plugin! Your plugin and Dippy's suggestions are the solution to PS's 'hard-chisel bevel' and 'satin' double contour.

I stumbled across this thread looking for something else and it inspired me to try the tut out. I'm still tweaking some of the more streaky parts. I didn't have my mouse earlier.

Welcome back @BlastWave Paint defenses up and scouting for your tanks.

@LionsDragonI do like koi images. There is something intrinsically elegant (to steal your words) about koi fish. 2 new ones that I completed after them sitting for about a year in my "to finish" box. The outline for the ducks was made with Curly Lines. An experiment really & from that came My Lobster's in Love - Polar Inversion Plus. Mandarin Ducks My Lobster's in Love

New update (yma: 170716) - Erase background - Offset vector Original pizza image from Photos Libres Humm DONZZA Shadow added after

Can't afford a real Mercedes, even if I could I would only be able to have it half gold

@Red ochre! Thank you soo much for this plugin.

I made this plugin to get rid of random ink blots on scanned pages. There are two modes, one builds clusters of pixels outside tolerance of the secondary color, the other builds clusters of pixels within tolerance of the primary color. If the cluster is within the size thresholds, it is painted over with the secondary color. It's found under Effects/Noise Download: ClusterClearEffect.zip Example pics: The source code is available here: https://github.com/edwardx999/PaintDotNetClusterClear This is my first plugin (my first C# project, in fact) so it's not very advanced yet. If you have any suggestions please tell. Also, I couldn't find the formula Paint.Net uses to calculate tolerance, so if you know it, please tell me. 7/16/17 Added Clustering Modes and Linked Sliders 7/15/17 Initial Release

Jewel tute is updated. I hope that it still makes sense.

New update (yma:170715): -Always centered by default -Increase the range of main sliders -Small increment for the offset vector

I'm still looking for the egg .

Tone Gradient Angle (new July '17) Name: TGAngle (Tone Gradient Angle)* Description: Shows the relative angle of the tone gradient giving various emboss effects. Menu: Stylize Original release date: 10th July 2017 Author: Red ochre (John Robbins) .dll name: TGAngle Compatibility: Tested on Pdn3.5.11 and latest Pdn4 version. TGAngle.zip Firstly let me thank MJW! - I used the super-sampling techniques he showed me when writing 'Aardvark'. There are already similar effects available but the AAsmoothing and colouring blend choices should make this useful too. Run this on a layer with an image that has some variation in tone. The built-in 'Clouds' is good to test on. So are photographs but you will get better results if you resize the image to a reasonable size - say less than 1000 pixels (max side). Do try the metallic colouring options too!(These were designed to work with the colouring slider at halfway but do experiment). Hopefully you should see some screen shots below (image hosts permitting) that should give you some ideas. Please show me what you can create with it! *(Tone Gradient Magnitude gives good outline effects too - but I haven't finished writing that yet).

Donut distortion Effect Plugin What's this? It would be more handy if I can find some good math skills to help me with sinus & co. formulas. Don't hesitate to PM if you like to solve my problem! I'm not really happy with this distortion effect as I've not find the correct formula to apply what I had in mind. But for now it gives some good results enough to be published. How does it works? The initial idea was to distort the image by a rotation between 2 circles and so create something like a Donut aspect. This is to illustrate the idea: The red Arc should be the distortion of the green segment. The result for now is just a distortion between 2 circles... and I named it the Donut effect! Before: After: I've found 4 modes of distortions: This is a test of the modes on lightrays: Download the DLL Plugin Donut.dll Here is the DLL The MadJik's All plugins package is available ! http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7186 How to install Close Paint.net Classic version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects Microsoft Store version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: /My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/ You have to adapt for your language My Documents The User interface This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Distort. External radius (0,1000, dft 300) Set the size of the donut by choosing its radius. Internal radius (0,1000, dft 100) Set the size of the hole of the donut. Unit (checkbox, dft unchecked) unchecked: External and internal raduis values are in pixels checked: The values are in 1/1000 based on the smallest size of the selection. - ex: for a 800x600 image, 1000 represents the full raduis of 600 = 300px This is usefull to redo the effect over the image with a small selection here and there: Distortion angle (-360,+360, dft 10) This value is issued to set the "strength" of the distortion. Quality Increasing the quality is slowering the rendering a bit, and should reduce the pixelisation. Effect Mix This is a slider to mix the final image with the orignal image to make the effect more or less subtile. Mode Choose the distortion mode (Soft, medium, hard, distroy).

Here's my first 'spacescape'....I call it Starbirth. You never know what is going on inside those nebulas...

After some investigation, that seems to be due to a bug in .NET itself. I think it's this one: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/10826 This would also explain the AccessViolationException reported in NormalMapPlus and the fact that disabling JIT optimization fixes it:

@MadJik! I love your fractals and your works. Thank you very much.

@barbieq25....more beautiful images!! I love your reworked SOTW piece....like you used oil pastels. Artwork soothes the soul...I hope your stressful time is coming to an end.

@LionsDragon& @Woodsythank you so much for your lovely comments. This one is a rework of a SOTW entry. I think the original was a black & white stock but I have long since lost the link.

Applying Red's "ObjectEdge" filter to text, then running Tone-Gradient-Angle results in a nice Chiseled Text effect...

Trump visits the tower and look what happens ! @Red ochre Looks like your plugin is making around the world! Well done to another great plugin

@LionsDragonthe heat does that. It is cooler today 19 deg & not loving it Thank you for your lovely comment. @Woodsythe weather is really silly last couple of years. @Red ochreit is making me happy to have time to spend on here & create art once again. Forgotten how to do some stuff! @PixeyI felt a lot calmer that day It has been a very stressful time just lately. @lynxster4thank you! Tiny Treasures is was commissioned as a Facebook Banner for a fellow succulent & cactus addict She is very happy with her banner. This one I did last year but had never got to post it.

Adding gold to make a stately home just that bit more stately

New artwork. The Endless Circle. Listening to Pink Floyd. Carefree

Testing postimage hosting with new images: Testing the furblur plugin by Red Ochre one is inspired by an anim movie from studio Ghibli, guess which one?

You'll want to install the latest NVIDIA Quadro drivers from nvidia.com. That's usually what we've seen fixes this. (Although not always ... ) Microsoft and/or NVIDIA broke something here :-\

Always a pleasure to see your latest creations!

@Seerose...I love all of these!! Wonderful work!! But, I am partial to the parrot because it's stained glass. You did a fantastic job!!
