How to Write an Effect Plugin (Tutorials/Resources)
BoltBait replied to BoltBait's topic in Plugin Developer's Central
Don't do that! Yes, do that! -
Wouldn't it be faster to do a layer at a time instead of pixel at a time? Something like this: #region UICode #endregion // Working surface Surface wrk = null; // Setup for selected blending op private BinaryPixelOp normalOp = LayerBlendModeUtil.CreateCompositionOp(LayerBlendMode.Normal); protected override void OnDispose(bool disposing) { if (disposing) { wrk?.Dispose(); wrk = null; } base.OnDispose(disposing); } // This single-threaded function is called after the UI changes and before the Render function is called // The purpose is to prepare anything you'll need in the Render function // For this example, I'm just filling the WRK surface with white. void PreRender(Surface dst, Surface src) { if (wrk == null) { wrk = new Surface(src.Size); } // Fill the wrk surface with White color wrk.Fill(ColorBgra.White); } // Here is the main multi-threaded render function void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect) { // In this example, put your surface above a white surface and blend them. // Normal Blend the src surface and the wrk surface to the dst surface normalOp.Apply(dst, wrk, src, rect); } You may think doing this by pixel in a loop is the same speed... but, I can assure you that the internal functions (like BinaryPixelOp.Apply) is optimized for speed and will perform MUCH better than any loop you can write.

That effect can be easily done with 2 plugins in my plugin pack: Start by duplicating the layer, so you have 2 copies. Next, run Adjustments > Black and White+ and choose the "Lightness Method" on the bottom layer. Finally, run Adjustments > Hue/Saturation+ on the top layer giving the entries shown above.

is there anyway to save a png without flattening?
BoltBait replied to mafi13's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
After saving as .PNG just press the Ctrl-Z key to Undo the flatten. -
This message board is to support Paint.NET on Windows, not Pinta. As for your font question, try https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ According to them, it is https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/hvdfonts/americane-condensed/black-italic/ which costs about $40. Then, just compress the width slightly.

First thing to try is to reboot your system and keep applying windows updates until there are none left. Finally, reboot once more for good measure. THEN, if the installer fails, try this tool: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-cca7d1b6-65a9-3d98-426b-e9f927e1eb4d After that, try the installer again.

Paint.Net crashes at starting
BoltBait replied to Guillaume_69's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
It looks to me like Paint.NET says, "Oh, I see you're running in French. Please tell me more..." and Windows says, "Sorry, I can't. Something's wrong." I would try repairing Windows first. -
If you install my plugin pack, it comes with a Flip Selection plugin.

I'm sorry that yours is not as easy to fix as mine. I know these things can be very frustrating. Did you try the DLL linked by @Rle above? -
paint.net 4.3.4 is now available!
BoltBait replied to Rick Brewster's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
@midora, it's not actually that hard. You just need to track down the missing dll file and include it in your distribution. I had to do the same thing with my graph plugin.

@Ghostolini, this thread was really old which is why it was locked. Besides, there is a better plugin here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/31736-level-horizon-plugin-with-tutorial-and-source-code-v13-2015-04-21/

(Title is a joke suggested by @toe_head2001) Rick, sometimes the colors are missing from the slider tracks. For example: It should look like this: This issue was reported by @ReMake before and you mentioned fixing it. But, I'm still seeing the issue.

How to outline all objects in bmp using plugin
BoltBait replied to aijaz's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
You are probably having trouble because that plugin requires the shapes to be surrounded by transparent pixels in order to work. You could use the magic wand 🪄 to shift-click the white area to select it and then press the delete key to remove it before running the plugin. OR If you have my plugin pack installed, you can do it this way: 1. Use the magic wand to shift-click the white area to select it. 2. Use the Effects > Selection > Outline Selection plugin with the "Preserve Canvas Edges" checkbox checked.
