He has arms sprouting out from his chest?

Um... XML is a container, not a format. If you could tell us the other program that you are using, maybe we could find a common format between the two.

If you're not willing to get your computer working properly... I doubt that your "work" is worth doing anyway. Be nice or be gone.

Looks more like the end of time to me.

True. Which is why I wrote, "I know this could use a better UI, but it was just a quick hack. Maybe I'll revisit this later."

My take on Helio's sig: Just a quick hack job. I'm sure he could do better.

Cool. Now, you need to read part 2 of my plugin tutorials so you can put some sliders on the UI: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=5308

Well, I made this a month ago. I just forgot to make a post for it in the Plugin forum.

Gaussian Blur+ Plugin Forgot to post this one... Tanel asked for a Gaussian Blur function where the user could specify a different amount of blur for each channel (Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha). Here is my take on the problem. The Idea My thought was to modify the Gaussian Blur code to blur only the selected channel. I started with the Code that Illnab1024 sent me and just started making changes. I used CodeLab so that I wouldn't have to worry too much about a UI. The rest came easy. I'm familiar enough with the Gaussian Blur code at this point that these changes only took me about 15 minutes. Please note that this effect shows up under the Effects > Blurs sub menu. The Effect DLL If you like it, you can download the precompiled effect here: BoltBait's Plugin Pack Instructions for Use To use this plugin, simply select the channel you want to blur, then the amount of blur: Then, click OK to finalize your image. Samples Final Thoughts Tanel was happy with the plugin. In fact, he's written at least one tutorial using it (along with my Transparency Adjustment plugin). I hope you enjoy it too.

The loop is for processing each pixel of the selection one at a time. The "for y" loop steps through each row, from top to bottom. The "for x" loop steps through each pixel on the current row from left to right. When you are inside of the x loop, you are working on a single pixel on the destination canvas. Each time you finish an X loop, it processes the next row in the Y loop. Does that help?

Effects are not allowed to modify pixels outside of the ROI* that has been passed to it. You can always read pixels outside of your selection, you just can't modify them. There is some discussion of this here: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=5281 *ROI=Rectangle of Interest

Show me an example of a "before" and "after" image. The first issue I see is in the following line of code: dst[x + offsetx, y] = src[x, y]; it should look more like this: dst[x, y] = src[ ... ]; Remember, in your loops, you should be looping through the destination canvas NOT the source canvas.

Yours won't work because it has a space in the file name.

MadJik can confirm that it does work with the free version. And, why would you want to program in C++ when C# is soooo much better? Seriously.

WhiteForestQueen, show us the picture you want to modify and show us a picture you want to emulate.

Yeah, and they actually behaved long enough for me to take their picture.

My kids:

Now that you have it black and white, try the Color Balance plugin: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3135 I find it much more intuitive to use then Curves.

You can do the same thing by using the Adjustments > Black and White menu option.

Just post a request in the General Discussion forum. That's no guarantee that a plugin will be written for you. But, if the idea is solid and "do-able" then I'm sure someone will take a shot at it.

It has to do with the different advertisements inside of the installer.

The sig is too big according to the forum rules. The maximum size of graphical sigs is 500px wide by 150px tall.

Just hop over to the Tutorials forum and follow a few of those. They might inspire you to change some of the steps and come up with something completly new.

When resizing the image, choose the Nearest Neighbor method.

MadJik, as I wrote in my first post, I did consider making a text one, but allowing images is so much more flexible!
