Allright, here are the winner of SOTW#115 entering the battlefield : ( Hands image source : http://pixabay.com/en/flower-hands-giving-give-gift-8539/ ) Cheerio !

Hey, you're actually giving the answer I need. Thanks ! Cheerio !

Puzzled. How to install another file ? In effects folder or somewhere else ?

Congratulations to Pixey and Helen ! And to all participants... Yes, thank you to the voters. Also to null54 who wrotes PSFilterPdn plugin. Without this plugin as the reason, running my favorite plugin from Ulead ( Particles plugin ) is not possible. And thanks to the competition host/organizer, chimay12321. Keep your head up ! Cheerio !

Congratulations Pixey and to all participants !

Yes...

I'm following your suggestion and I got errors when running the plugin. Here are something that can explain what had happened : File: C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects\PdnFF.dll Effect Name: PdnFF.PdnFF_Effect Full error message: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'ffparse_x86.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) at PdnFF.ffparse.ffeval32.SetupBitmap(IntPtr pixelData, Int32 width, Int32 height, Int32 stride, Int32 pixelSize) at PdnFF.ffparse.SetupBitmap(IntPtr pixelData, Int32 width, Int32 height, Int32 stride) at PdnFF.FilterEnviromentData.ResetEnviroment() at PdnFF.PdnFF_Effect.SetupFilterEnviromentData() at PdnFF.PdnFF_Effect.CreateConfigDialog() at PaintDotNet.Menus.EffectMenuBase.RunEffectImpl(Type effectType) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\PaintDotNet\Menus\EffectMenuBase.cs:line 910

How to install this plugin ?

Thanks !

Where is the download link ?

Thanks Rick ! We have the same thought about the video card driver. I believe that the driver software ( that was re-installed during post HDD re-formatting process, according to the first time when someone just bought a new netbook ) can't support Paint.NET 4.0 needs anymore. I've done the update via Windows Update and also disabling Hardware Acceleration. And it's hits the bull-eye perfectly. I re-ran Paint.Net after the update and waiting for about half an hour to see if that blue phantom showing up again. And no blue phantom showing up even after several hours. Before the update, it's takes about 10-15 minutes to show up. Since each incidence offering a chance for us to learn something and sharing it is caring, I attached the screenshot showing the things that needed on Windows Update part. Hoping that everyone can get benefits from what had happened to me. Note : The netbook is about 4 years old.

Hi ! My netbook got crashed and was sent for a fixing job. I re-installed Paint.NET and plugins ( that survived the crash ) and things gone so weird right after the re-installation. Blue Screen Crash happened for three times, strangely on each time Paint.NET was opened. With this post I included the diagnostic results from two incidences happened before the third one. Any opinions ? Thanks !

That's cool ! Thanks !

I don't know where put this idea but can anyone resuscitating photo manipulations competition again ? Thanks a lot !

Congratulations to the winners ! And kudos to the host that organizing the competition.

Congratulations to Skullbonz ! And to all participants also to the host of the competition.

For those who have downloaded Photoshop plugins/filters from Filters Factory and/or Two Moon ( also those from somewhere else )... Any of you experiencing this kind of experience ? I mean a prompt box with a message popped out when you ran the plugin/filters. Telling something like this : " The specified module could not be found ( Exception from HResults :0X8007007E)" And your plugins/filters can't work or you have to shut down Paint.Net. If you are, here are the steps of solution which I got from Null54 himself : 1. Download MSVCRT10.dll from The Plugin Site 2. Put that file on Paint.NET Effects folder. 3. Re-run PSFilterPDN again and re-run the specified plugins/filters. In my case, my Paint.NET requires no restarting. The specified dll file needed is a mandatory for running all filters by Filters Factory. Thanks Null54 for providing this simple but powerful solution. Cheerio !

Thanks !

Thanks Mr. EER ! That's another good alternative. But how ?

Thanks Cc4FuzzyHuggles ! I am looking for an alternative of making blended colours, specifically ambrosia effects, without depending on Photoshop-plugin.

Hello Red Ochre, Thanks for asking ! About TR's approach- I think that's what I need when I'm not able to use the 8bf files. And I am so grateful to know there're many alternatives out there. About Null54's plug-in- I have downloaded the plug-in and tried it, and it's perfectly awesome. And here are the root of the issue which prompted me to post my first post in this section : Not able to run 'Ambrosia' Photoshop filter and some other filters from Filters Factory as well. I have discussed it with Null54 and he gave the powerful solutions for it yesterday.

Hello everyone ! I love Ambrosia effects and want to use it for some of my future projects. For the time being, I can't use available specific Photoshop plugin for it and so needing some available alternatives. Ambrosia effects, and how the colouring looked like : http://grafnet.com.pl/getattachment/Filters/Filter-Factory/ambrosia.jpg.aspx I'll be glad to read from you all. Thanks !

Thanks ! In my case, x64 didn't worked out for me and I have to shut down Paint.Net. I do believe that what had happened to me possibly just happened only on my computer. Grateful that x86 working very well.
