I'm going to lock this thread. Not because it is a bad idea, but because everyone agrees that it is a great idea. In fact, it is on this list: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/2940-popular-feature-requests/

Starting with the source code to the Splatter Plugin would get you about half way there. pyrochild?

You can not change a line into a bezier curve by right clicking the control nubs any more?

I'm trying to build an effect with CodeLab and I'm getting the following error: Can you please enable use of this method? CodeLab uses it to allow user selected blend ops for effects. Hidden Content: CodeLab generates the following code configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.Amount1, ControlInfoPropertyNames.DisplayName, "Scale"); configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.Amount2, ControlInfoPropertyNames.DisplayName, "Roughness"); configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.Amount2, ControlInfoPropertyNames.SliderLargeChange, 0.25); configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.Amount2, ControlInfoPropertyNames.SliderSmallChange, 0.05); configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.Amount2, ControlInfoPropertyNames.UpDownIncrement, 0.01); configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.Amount3, ControlInfoPropertyNames.DisplayName, "Blend Mode"); PropertyControlInfo Amount3blendOpControl = configUI.FindControlForPropertyName(PropertyNames.Amount3); Type[] Amount3blendOpTypes = UserBlendOps.GetBlendOps(); foreach (Type blendOpType in Amount3blendOpTypes) { string blendOpDisplayName = UserBlendOps.GetBlendOpFriendlyName(blendOpType); Amount3blendOpControl.SetValueDisplayName(blendOpType, blendOpDisplayName); } configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.Amount4, ControlInfoPropertyNames.DisplayName, string.Empty); configUI.SetPropertyControlType(PropertyNames.Amount4, PropertyControlType.IncrementButton); configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.Amount4, ControlInfoPropertyNames.ButtonText, "Reseed"); If it is impossible to have it return the localized blend mode names, English would be fine.

I have updated this plugin to implement a new feature. Now, when you select the "Preview original image" check box, the other sliders are disabled. This is a visual reminder that you are not changing the image in any way.

I have added the .dll file to the original post. I'm not sure if it is the most recent one. It was the one on my machine. I do not have a copy of the source code or demo images, sorry.

Have you tried this plugin: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28556-

Read this tutorial: Additional Indirect UI Rules Tutorial If you still have questions, post them here. NOTE: This can not be done in CodeLab. You'll need Visual Studio for this type of functionality. If your plugin has been developed in CodeLab, follow this tutorial in order to migrate it to Visual Studio: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28423-

Sounds like you downloaded the source code files instead of the effect dll. Go back to the Alpha Mask thread and download the other file and you should be good.

If you would like to download a sample project that is all ready to compile, look at this: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28613-hue-saturation-plus-for-v40/ Hope this helps!

Hue / Saturation Plus This plugin is for Paint.NET 4.0+ only. It will not work on v3.5.11 or below, sorry. NOTE: User evanolds has made a more feature rich version of this plugin.* I am releasing this as a demonstration for how to add slider decorations to 4.0 plugins.** *evanolds plugin can be found here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/13003-a **Read the tutorial here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28423-a That said, here's what it looks like: Download Users can download here: BoltBait's Plugin Pack for Paint.NET v4.0+ I think the best way to get used to how this effect works is to play with this using a picture of a color wheel. That way you'll see how the condition works. The adjustments work exactly the same as the built-in Hue / Saturation effect.

Rick will update that page shortly. when he is no longer having computer problems (probably early next week). Thanks for the notice.

Indirect UI slider controls now support "decorations": Another example:

Check out this forum: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/45-paintnet-40-preview-center/ Paint.NET 4.0 beta is available for download and testing in that forum. Build 5268 is the current build of Paint.NET 4.0. Build 5226 was the previous build.

Many plugins and plugin packs have been updated for 4.0. You would do well to freshly download all plugins you plan on using. With my plugin pack, for example, you can limp along with the 3.5 pack if you want, but you'll miss out on a couple of bug fixes and new enhancements that just won't work on 3.5. It's time for some spring cleaning... dump the plugins that you never use, upgrade the plugins you value.

Eli, I have updated the plugins with your requests. Please try them out and let me know how you like it.

You can always press Enter on your keyboard to finish with a tool.

I have compiled these plugins to work on Paint.NET 3.5.11 and 4.0+ and I have started a new thread for these plugins in the plugin forum. Please continue the discussion there: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28556- Closed.

Fill From File and Fill From Clipboard Plugins I rebuilt my new 4.0 plugins for the Fill menu against 3.5.11 so that people that don't upgrade to 4.0 will not miss out on all the fun. These plugins work as you might expect: Fill From Clipboard If there is an image on the clipboard (like after you've pressed the PrtScn key on your keyboard), use Effects > Fill > From Clipboard to tile that image into your current selection. If there is no graphic on the clipboard, you'll just get your original image unchanged. Fill From File If the image you wish to tile is instead in a file on your computer, use Effects > Fill > From File to tile it from your image file into your current selection. You can enter the path of the image in the text box or press the "Browse" button to select your image from a standard "file open" dialog box. For Paint.NET v3.5x Download here: FillFrom40.zip If you are using Paint.NET 4.1 or beyond, download here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/113220-i Install the normal way. Once installed, look under: Effects > Fill > From Clipboard Effects > Fill > From File... Enjoy! Versions V4.0 - (for Paint.NET 4.0) Fixed bugs (Sorry, 3.5 users... time to upgrade!) V4.0 - Added Placement, Zoom, and Sampling Method V1.3 - Added "Browse" button V1.0 - Initial Release

Please read the forum rules: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/2932- Specifically, read rule #25.

I split this topic out into its own thread.

That is the new "soft selections". It is kind of a built-in feathering. It is controlled (turned on and off) on the tool bar. ____________________

Yes. Just run the 3.5.11 installer again and everything will be reverted back to the old version. Just be aware that if you update to new plugins for 4.0 you may need to revert them also.

In the case of both of my plugins, downloads are provided for both 3.5.11 and 4.0.
