Ego Eram Reputo

You can't do it for all layers in one go. You need to do one layer, then repeat for the other layers. Like this: Use the Paneling plugin to move the contents of the first layer Activate the next layer Press F8 to repeat step 1 on the active layer. goto step 2 for as many layers as you need to move.

Still, I think looks great!

Seen the latest API documentation? https://paintdotnet.github.io/apidocs/api/index.html There are a great many effects you can access and chain together. For example, see https://paintdotnet.github.io/apidocs/api/PaintDotNet.Effects.Gpu.html

Hmmmm..... Windows Defender is warning me about that file ^^

Hadn't considered that. I'll have a look and see if I can make six or seven boxes work. Nice! Thank you @BoltBait Thanks Red. Quite right. I will change of course. The posted code was something from a year or so ago (I just had another play with it to remember where I got to).

I could use a little help on this one I'm trying to recreate an outlining effect I saw on Watabou's one-page dungeon generator. I want to surround an object with little gray boxes something like this image. I had a very rough stab at it. Basically my plan was to step through the image and test the transparency of the target pixel. If it was transparent, throw a little box around it. The code I wrote trying to hack this out was truly awful. Results were ......promising!? (at least it was working right 😁) Does anyone want to help me write something a little more elegant?

I disagree. I think this plugin is too good to lose. If you're willing to release the source code I'm sure someone will recompile and publish it.

The easiest way to duplicate a Shape is this: Draw your Shape on a blank layer Duplicate the layer It's one extra click for each duplication.

Thanks @Tactilis. I can't see Bayer as an option in AdvDith. Simulate Color Depth does have Bayer Ordered 8x8. Beware this plugin crashes if you attempt to use the Stucki dithering method.

@xod - I've just added this to the plugin index in the April 2024 update. I've belatedly realized it is still pending the rewrite Rick suggested. Are you intending to re-release it soon?

April Update One new plugin this month: Warp text along a path xod Writes text along a user-specified path. The plugin uses the SkiaSharp library, so you need to put all three files from the ZIP file into the Effects folder. *please note* this plugin is currently undergoing revision/rerwrite to make it conform to standards. There is also the inclusion of an older plugin - which had been missed (thanks @toe_head2001) Alpha Mask (aka Apply Alpha Mask) from @BoltBait's Plugin Pack.

I tried to find a Bayer dither, but couldn't locate one. https://forums.getpaint.net/PluginIndex?keywords=dither&author=All+Authors&type=0&status=7&compat=3&order=title&menu=All+Menus&release=0

^^ Confirmed. Crash seems to be related to setting the Dither Method to Stucki. Error message:
