pdn

If I was to remove/extract some part using the magic wand, I would rotate/scale the selection a little bit so the pixelated boundaries are offset by half. This can at least give me an antialiased result. Currently the selection can only be translated by integral pixels (if I haven't missed anything), otherwise I could also translate by half pixel without rotating/scaling.

Is it possible to make that calculation into a separate step (a progress dialog pops up), even with expensive performance degrade, if the user really wants to? My current work around is to make such selection, then rotate/scale a very small amount, so that the whole selection is deviated, but the result looks better than nothing. I wonder if we can use this approach, or extend it further, (e.g. translate half pixel instead of integral)?

Hi, Does the option antialiased selection quality also apply to the Magic Wand? Or is there any way to smoothen/feather the selection?

is there any incompatibility problems with old plugins which works in 3.5? it just quit immediately at start up.

I want to display the selection in the dialog for preview, I see that pyrochild's splatter plugin can do that, but I can't found the EnvironmentParameters in the EffectConfigDialog class.

I think I have to study the plugin system of pdn first...

I have found a easy way to advoid the rendering process to be multi-threaded, I simply add "SingleThreaded" in the "Sub New": Public Sub New() MyBase.New(StaticName, StaticIcon, StaticSubMenuName, Effects.EffectFlags.Configurable Or Effects.EffectFlags.SingleThreaded) End Sub It really works!

thanks!

thanks! but where should I place the calculation process so it will be called once only?

Can someone help with my project? I am trying to make a gradient blur plugin something like that, but I just can't make it faster. Do anyone have advices for me? I am using the pdn internal Gaussian Blur kernel. See the attached project.

Maybe you have done something with it when you are zoomed out but you have forgotten, check the history.

By comparing the previous versions and the latest, I found that the coordinate system of some tools such as brush, line, eraser etc. have improved. I wonder if the other tools like text, clone stamp and the shape tools will change to arbitrary coordinate system too. Also, I suggest adding an option to let the user to switch between integral and arbitrary coordinate system. Other than that, I suggest that you can add a "Paint under" mode in the blending option so users can fill a shape or area without overwriting its border. I get the above ideas from RealWorld graphics software.
