DYoung Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 After the last few updates I can no longer use a brush tool to paint in dither modes. The option is still there for other tools, but not for the brush tool. As I primarily use PDN for the construction and editing of pixel artwork this has essentially ceased the functionality of the program for me. Is there any way I can get that mode back?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm not sure what you mean by "dither mode". Do you mean the legacy "Fill Modes" like this screenshot? They have been removed from the brush in 4.x. You can still access them via the paint bucket fill tool though 1. create your region with the paint brush as per normal. 2. Select the region with the magic wand tool. 3. Fill the selection with the paint bucket using the fill mode you want. 3 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDale Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 That's a good workaround EER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Thanks Drew. I'm currently assisting in the rewrite of PDN documentation - so I'm finding out a few things. I could write a book.....No wait. I did that 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midora Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 As I said in an other thread already. If you are thinking about then I would propose to implement to different brush tools: FillBrush and PaintBrush. FillBrush would be the simple old PaintBrush w/o spacing and hardness Means you would paint a 1 bit mask anti-aliased at the border and filled with the solid color or bi-color pattern. PaintBrush would allow spacing, hardness and maybe other features you could expecti from a brush system. So that you can simulate different brush effects like marker or chalk.
