You're wrong. Follow the first link from @BoltBait's second post. All the material is adapted to the new versions paint.net. See the information about CodeLab. Check out the materials in the 'Plugins - Publishing ONLY Forum!'. Many authors publish the source code of their plugins. This information can be the starting point of your future plugin.

Because in Plugin Index, the effect has the old name Brush Factory.

From here, f.e.

Thanks, @Pixey

@otuncelli, @AndrewDavid, thank you for the quick feedback. To administrators and moderators: please replace the link in the first post with the link from this post.

@otuncelli, download the effect from the post above and try it again. This due to the incorrect operation of the Reset button. My mistake: AutoScaleDimensions = new SizeF(120F, 120F); vs AutoScaleDimensions = new SizeF(96F, 96F); Can other members test this effect?

@otuncelli, @AndrewDavid, try this variant, please. Deleted. Update from the first post. AutoScaleMode.Font does not take into account the display resolution.

What Scale and Display Resolution do you use? Screenshot, please. On both my laptops (HP 620 - 1366x768 and 100% and HP DESKTOP-OM171V1 - 1920x1080 and 125%) the effect interface is displayed correctly.

I noticed that the effect is not displayed correctly if the Scale in your Display Settings is different from 100%. I have slightly modified and recompiled the effect so that it displays correctly at the recommended Display Settings (125% in my case): changed the Effect title, added a Help button, Display Options by default is now set to Replace Using Primary Color, changed the effect version to 1.1.1 Despite the fact that this effect is quite old, it is still interesting in the absence of a gradient transition of colors compared to the built-in Clouds effect. Compatible with paint.net v.4.2.X+ <Snip>

Translation difficulties and probably wordplay. Fixed it as best I could.

Dedicated to @Woodsy I didn't set out to create textures of any specific trees. All variants were created after reading various tutorials*.

Yes, in some cases, the Blend Seams effect can be used as a 'cutting' tool, but it does not always give a satisfactory result due to the characteristic repeating stripes.

When I was writing this tutorial, I could not create a pattern from the finished image of asphalt. The solution appeared unexpectedly when I was writing another texture tutorial. Now I was able to expand the tutorial by adding asphalt texture.

The problem exists only with the Tools. In other cases, the keyboard shortcuts work correctly.

I'm not sure about that. The Russian-language keyboard serves Ctrl+Shift+R and Ctrl+R without problems.

I like it too.

The result is impressive. Thank you for sharing, @lynxster4.

This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it. Introduction This tutorial will focus on seamless patterns. A seamless pattern is a kind of pattern consisting of geometric shapes and usually repeating like a wallpaper pattern. Patterns are used to create textures or fill in the background. To understand what a seamless pattern is, let's do a little experiment. Create a new image () with a size of 30x30 pixels and draw two straight lines on it. Copy this image (here and further in the text, the expression 'copy' image implies its complete selection (Ctrl+A) and copying (Ctrl+C)). Create a new image with a size of 90x60 pixels and paste (Ctrl+V) the previously copied image into it. Re-paste (Ctrl+V) the image and use the Move Selected Pixels () tool to move it to the right until the horizontal lines match inextricably. Repeat this action again to fill the top row. Similarly, fill in the bottom row. Tiresome, isn't it? To make this work easier, @BoltBait created the Fill From Clipboard effect (in addition to this effect, we will need other additional effects, so first learn How to install plugins). Go back to your pattern (now we can safely call an image with two straight lines a pattern) and 'copy' it. Create a new image with a size of 600x450 pixels and apply the Fill From Clipboard effect to it (Effects -> Fill -> From Clipboard). Select Tiling - No Mirroring from the drop-down list and click OK. Easy and simple. Some photo editors (like Photoshop) have built-in tools for creating patterns, and the Paint Bucket Tool uses these patterns as presets. We will use the Fill From Clipboard effect as such a tool. Let's agree that further in the text the expression 'fill' the canvas will imply the application of the Fill From Clipboard effect. If you save your presets as images, I recommend that you install another useful @BoltBait's effect - Fill From File. You can create a lot of such simple patterns as described above. But what if you need patterns that create the texture of grass, stones or ancient brickwork? In this case, the method of 'cutting' the image into four parts is used. This method is well described in the @BoltBait's Seamless Texture Helper Plugin topic, so first of all read this material. There are several effects that allow you to 'cut' the image: Move Seams by @mccreery Paneling by @MadJik Seamless Move by @davidf Seamless Helper by @BoltBait Decide for yourself which of these effects to use. Let's agree that further in the text the expression 'cut' the image will imply the applying of one of these effects. So let's get started. Patterns creating Shapes Sand Grass Moss Bricks Sea Pebbles Asphalt Conclusion This tutorial does not pretend to describe all possible techniques and methods for creating seamless patterns. It shows several basic techniques that allow you to make an image with acceptable quality. Perhaps you will find or come up with some of your own original techniques and methods for creating patterns. In this case, I will be happy to supplement the tutorial with your help. Good luck!

This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it. This tutorial is an adaptation of the Photoshop tutorial Grass Texture. The final image from the original tutorial is shown below. Required Plugins: PSFilterPdn by @null54 Alpha Blur by @Tanel Wind - Photoshop filter Note: Read first How to install Plugins and Applying effects from Photoshop's Filters menu in paint.net. 1. Define the size of your future image and create New Document () with the size of the sides 10% larger than you have defined. I used a size of 650 x 500px. 2. Apply the Add Noise () effect (Effects -> Noise -> Add Noise) with Intensity 100, Color Saturation 0, and Coverage 100. Repeat the effect (Ctrl+F) four times. 3. Apply the Gaussian Blur () effect (Effects -> Blurs -> Gaussian Blur) with the default settings. 4. Run the PSFilterPdn effect (Effects -> 8bf Filter). Click on the pointer to the left of Stylize and select the Wind filter. Click the Run Filter button. In the dialog box that opens, select the From the left direction. Click OK, then click OK in the 8bf Filter window. 5. Rotate () the image clockwise (Image -> Rotate 90° Clockwise or Ctrl+H). Repeat (Ctrl+F) the Wind effect and rotate () the image counterclockwise (Image -> Rotate 90° Сounter-Сlockwise or Ctrl+G). 6. Apply the Wind effect again with the Stagger Method. 7. Rotate () the image clockwise (Image -> Rotate 90° Clockwise or Ctrl+H). Repeat (Ctrl+F) the Wind effect and rotate () the image clockwise (Image -> Rotate 90° Clockwise or Ctrl+H) again. 8. Apply the Sharpen () effect (Effects -> Photo -> Sharpen) with Amount 20. Repeat (Ctrl+F) the effect. Duplicate () the Background layer. 9. Add a new () layer and fill () it with the color 1DA51D. Go to Layer Properties () and set the blend mode to Multiply and Opacity about 215. Merge () both layers. 10. Disable the visibility () of the top layer Background (Ctrl+,). Add a new () layer and move it down (). Repeat step 9 with the color D2A555. 11. Go to the top Background layer and turn on its visibility (Ctrl+,). Select the Eraser () Tool with a Hardness of 0% and a Brush Width of 50-70. Clean several areas on the 'green' layer to simulate sun-bleached grass. Apply to the layer the Alpha Blur (Effects -> Blurs -> Alpha Blur) effect with the default settings. 12. Resize () the canvas (Image -> Canvas Size) by selecting the Middle Anchor to eliminate the dark stripes on the left and bottom of the image and we will get the final image. Note: All settings described in this tutorial are approximate and depend on image size and the desirable end result.

Thanks for the clarification, @null54, I'll fix the tutorial.
