    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 !

    PdnFF (2020-11-14)

    Place all 3 dlls in the Effects folder.

    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)

    Blue Screen Crash After Opening Paint.NET

    in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

    Posted

    What if you go into Settings (gear icon at top right) and disable Hardware Acceleration?

     

    My bet is there's something spooky with your video card driver. You might try updating it.

     

    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.

    Blue Screen Crash After Opening Paint.NET

    in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

    Posted · Edited by Nai

    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 !

    PSFilterPdn (01-18-2024)

    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 !

    Ambrosia Effects- any ideas ???

    Hello Nai. :)

    I haven't heard of Ambrosia before, but I did an internet search for a photoshop ambrosia, and I found this :

     

    http://www.123creative.com/photo-actions-atn-text-effects-for-photoshop/711-4-photoshop-actions-set-ambrosia-celia-pamela-and-querida.html

     

    So now I want to ask you, 

    Are you looking for how to make blended colors as TR demonstrated?

    Or are you looking for a vintage coloring photo effect?

     

     

    Thanks Cc4FuzzyHuggles !

     

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

    Hello Nai,

    Do you just use that coloured gradient layer with a low opacity over your image?

    If so, then TR's approach is good.

    Or is it a Photoshop filter that acts directly on the contents of the layer?

    In which case, have you tried Null54's PSFilterPdn plugin? - it can run some Photoshop plugins directly in Pdn.

    I don't know if the grafnet ones will work or not.

    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 :

    I'll be glad to read from you all.

     

    Thanks !

    Both the x86 and x64 versions of Luce2 work in Paint.NET 4.0.

    If you are using a 64-bit OS PSFilterPdn will automatically use the x64 version of Luce2 if it finds both versions.

     

    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.
