ReMake

It is very difficult to find the information about algorithms of blend modes in the Internet. pegtop.net and the blog by Andrey Zhuravlev in LiveJournal - two sites where I found the most detailed and the helpful information. Below is the fragments of the code for additional blend modes for paint.net written on the basis of the analysis of information from the websites shown above. All modes have been tested on similarity with blend modes of the Photoshop. In most cases results had the full coincidence, but sometimes results had a small difference. Perhaps these codes are not perfect, and someone will be able to improve them. It would be very nice and helpful. P.S. Perhaps when the algorithms will be brought to perfection, Rick will include these additional modes into paint.net (although this is a great piece of work).

I have specified algorithms of the blend modes and have finished effect. See: Averaged Color Blur.

This effect is modification of Average Edge Blur effect by @Cookies. For each pixel of the image this effect finds colors of the pixels surrounding it within the selected radius. Then this effect fills current pixel with averaged value of the found colors. Unlike Average Edge Blur this effect allows to blur the image not only in each separate channel of color, but also in their combination. Also the drop-down list of blending modes is added to effect. Download from my PluginPack You can find it: Effects -> Blurs -> Averaged Color Blur The User interface This effect has a simple and intuitive user interface. The original image and examples: Except 13 built-in blend modes (without Xor) this effect has 10 additional modes, similar to Photoshop's blend modes.

dpy's Plugin Pack has no installer. See: How to Install Paint.NET Plugins

Your code has the repeating lines. May I offer you simplify the code by removing extra lines?

I too, sometimes. Great! I want this copy too!

@BoltBait & @toe_head2001 made very simplified creation of plug-ins in CodeLab. When CodeLab will be able to apply all the IndirectUI rules, then

Left-click at the end of your variable when you stop typing it - the hint will disappear. I couldn't reproduce this 'crazy' behaviors.

Perhaps @IRON67 meant that the sliders 'Limit Red/Green/Blue' should be linked like in 'Posterize' effect when 'Same values (Red)' is checked. It's not affected to the work of effect, but visually will be look better (or as we are used to it).

Thanks, these a lot of things has cleared at once.

Great idea! Thank you.

As variant it's possible. Thank you.

I'm close to the completion of the effect. Can anyone suggest variants of icons for this effect?

Fixed: this mode now works right! Added 10 new blend modes, which aren't in paint.net. Upload file from the first post.

Unfortunately, paint.net was crashed with previous algorithm of Vivid Light when used alpha-channel. I replaced it with another algorithm, which does not lead to a crash. Two new blending modes was added (Linear Burn and Linear Light): Upload file from the first post.

Fixed alpha-channel error for the new blending modes. New blending mode was added (it was very difficult to find the correct formula for this mode so that it exactly matches Photoshop's Vivid Light mode): Upload file from the first post.

Two new blending modes was added (Exclusion and Hard Mix): Upload file from the first post.

The effect is renamed into Edge Blur. Added blending modes - it's allowed to vary the results of the work of effect. (A good idea from BoltBait's Gaussian Blur+.) Upload file from the first post.

Probably you mean your Gaussian Blur+ effect. The difference between these two effects consists in the used algorithms. Visually, the difference between effects work can be seen in the images below. BTW, the interface of your effect has prompted me some ideas to improvement of my effect. Thanks for reply.

This was a random bug using templates. Fixed. Perhaps Edge Blur is the best variant. Thanks for reply.

This effect is based on the Average Edge Blur plugin by Cookies. You can find it in Effects -> Blurs -> Edge Blur RGB. < EdgeBlur.zip deleted> See Averaged Color Blur Average Edge Blur effect allows to blur red, or green, or blue channel together with alpha channel or without it. Edge Blur RGB effect has three additional mode for blur the channels. I would like to know as far as this effect can be interesting and useful?

In this version paint.net not applied Russian translation: SettingsDialog.UI.AeroColorScheme.Value.Dark - Темная SettingsDialog.UI.AeroColorScheme.OpenSettingsButton.Text - ⚙ Открыть Параметры Windows → Персонализация → Цвета SettingsDialog.UI.AeroColorScheme.Description.Win10ThemingTip - ℹ Совет: для настройки цвета заголовка окна измените цвет в Параметры Windows → Персонализация → Цвета.
