...which reminds me, I still need to update http://www.BoltBait.com with this new code...

You all keep saying that IE6 does not handle transparent images properly. However, CMD is helping me with my web site and he got it to work properly with IE6: http://cmdsketchpad.com/bbtest/ The second dominoe icon on the left shows up properly on IE6. The trick is all in the CSS.

Moving to bugs forum...

Put each picture on its own layer. Then, follow this tutorial: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2756

No need to SHOUT, we can hear you just fine.

Paint.NET is not a Microsoft project. Rick owns it so he can decide what goes in and what stays out. I'm not Rick, but I can guess why he's had this policy... If you develop software yourself you *know* that it is not plagerized.

You could pick a primary color (in your color window), using the magic wand Shift-Click on a black area of your image, then press the Backspace key to change all black areas to your selected color. Or, you could use the Color Balance plugin (link in sig)

Haha. THX. That's funny.

I had no idea you could do that! :shock: I'm such a no0b.

ok, here's what you do: Open the original photo Select and copy (ctrl-c) a section of skin that matches your "blemish" area. Paste that into a new layer. Position it over the blemish. Use the feather plugin to soften the edges of the new layer. Color correct as necessary. Adjust transparency for the perfect effect. Merge down the layer to complete your edit. (Links to various plugins are located in my signature.)

The only difference between the DLL's you already have and this release is going to be the icons (and 'Portrait' will become 'Soften Portrait'). (As far as I know.)

Actually, the could effect that Tom Jackson wrote is totally different than the one by Sepcot. These effects, on the other hand, are direct ports of the ones written by me.

Here is the best blood splatter tutorial I've ever found: http://jheather.com/bloodtutorial/ It is written for Photoshop, but it translates to Paint.NET fairly well.

Thanks! No, but you might try using the clone stamp tool, then selecting a slightly larger area and using the Median blur. I haven't tried it, but it might work.

Here is an easy way to do it: http://boltbait.com/pdn/portrait And, here is the hard way: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/CloneStamp.html

What do you mean by "won't work"? Are you seeing it in the Effects > Blurs submenu? Or, are you not seeing any results when you run it?

This is one of the more "interesting" requests I've seen yet!

Wai- Shift-Backspace doesn't do that? Darn, there's a bug!

Nice. My advice: Don't stop drawing! You don't need fancy (read: expensive) drawing tablets of paper. Just get a box of copy machine paper. Of course, it won't hold up as well under the eraser... but, you don't make mistakes, right?

You could just hit the Backspace key instead.

Yeah, you might want to drop down to a black and white image. They hide better in less "busy" images.

To me, it would just be making the UI too complicated. Not to mention the fact that coding something like that is not easy.

My advice to you is to learn how to use the Clone Stamp tool. :CloneStamp: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/CloneStamp.html

Instead of making all the plugins unnecessarily complex, why not just use the magic wand before using the effect?

OK, Paint.NET can output files in the format you need. Just use File > Save As... and choose the format "PNG" from the dropdown under the file name. Then, you need to make an XML file that references those graphic files. For that, you need to read the links you posted, specifically the XML section.
