[Stutter Mouse Clicker Button Plugin Request]

@Retired HVAC

 

Do all of your white painting on a new transparent layer above the document image layer.

That way if you paint over something that you want left untouched

you can simply erase the offending bit rather than using Undo.

 

If you set the Paintbrush tool blending mode to Overwrite, and the Secondary color to zero Opacity,

the Paintbrush tool will function as an eraser by using the right mouse button.

Is there a way to make it possible to see other layers of an image while in Dynamic Draw?

 

Copy a layer or the image to the clipboard, Open Dynamic Draw,

right-click the canvas and choose to have clipboard as background.
 

[Cutting out jigsaw puzzle pieces]

Start over and run the plugin with a line width of 3.
Magic Wand the transparent region at the top.
Make a new layer and Paint Bucket fill the selection.
Deselect.

Make a new layer, Magic Wand the new layer, and run the Outline Selection plugin at default.

(Leave Preserve canvas edges unchecked.)
Merge layer down.

Magic Wand inside one of the transparent puzzle-piece shaped areas,

make the image layer active, copy and paste into a new layer.

 

You now have one puzzle piece on its own separate layer.
Copy/paste into a new file.

Repeat for the rest of the puzzle pieces.
 

[Image size vs canvas size?]

Is it possible that the 2.54 x 3.54 inch image has a higher DPI than the standard paint.net images have?

What is the size of the 2.54 x 3.54 inch image in pixels?
 

[How to edit Text Layers in PDN file]

If I understand your situation correctly, you can make a selection

around the date and press Delete (not Backspace) on each layer.

Then add the new date.
 

[Dynamic Draw v3.3 (7/3/22)]

Don't know whether this will be helpful.

Make a New Layer, then copy image.
Ctrl Shift C

Open Dynamic Draw, right-click the canvas and choose to have clipboard as background.
Apply the brush, then OK.

 

Duplicate and merge the brush layer several times until all partially transparent pixels become fully opaque.

[How to only add a surface texture of one file to another file without changing the general colour]

This was changing the color of the desired texture rather than

applying the texture to the original colored texture.

 

Make a selection of a sample of the original texture.
Apply the AverageSelectionColor plugin effect.
Repeat with a sample of the other new texture.
With the Color Wheel expanded, use the Color Picker tool and note the RGB numbers of both average colors.

Place a New Layer above the desired texture.
Fill it with RGB 7, 2, 12.
Set the Blend mode to Additive.
Merge.

Let me know whether this result is close enough to what you want.

 

[How do you print the image actual size?]

Create a file with canvas size equal to the paper size used by your printer.

Paste your smaller image onto the canvas and print.
 

[Circular numbering - but numbers pointing into circle]

On a New Layer, position your numbers near the bottom of a square canvas.

Using the Move Selected Pixels tool, selection stretch them to be taller, then apply Polar Transformation.

You'll then need to position each number individually using the Move Selected Pixels tool.

If the line is on its own layer it can be easily trimmed with the Eraser tool or Selection / Delete.

[Erase selection cancels the selection]

Set the Primary color to zero Opacity and use the Backspace key.

If I were to enlarge the canvas on one or both images first and place the 2nd image in a blank area first, I would still have to realign each layer of the 2nd image before I export it to the 1st layer.

 

A step closer to what you want would be to position one layer using the Paneling plugin.

Each other layer could be repositioned with Ctrl F.
 

[Resize selection for Cropping?]

After you make the initial selection, you need to switch to the Move Selection tool to make adjustments to that selection.

 

[[Plugin Request] Add image as new layer, visible on screen]

Perhaps you could use the icons as brushes via this plugin.  (Just use a single click.)
