Requests: Screen Capture & Color Depth
BoltBait replied to Mikey's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Any time you want to capture the screen, simply press the PrtSc key. Then, start Paint.net and press Ctrl-V. -
When running the following loop (from codelab): void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect) { for(int y = rect.Top; y { for (int x = rect.Left; x { } } } Rick, I tried to reverse these loops (to process left to right instead of top to bottom). But, the preview is slow enough to watch it process and it still goes top to bottom. Is this right? Is this a limitation?

Did you try to flatten the image first?

Seeing how I work for Intel, there's no need to be rude. I'm sure I could get my hands on a Quad Core if I really needed it. Well, I was thinking that you draw those marching ants fairly quickly, why can't I get access to that path and modify the alpha of the edge pixels just as quickly? But, even if I can't do it quickly, I would still like to do it slowly. So, is it possible? BTW, I think you could do it by only checking a maximum of 4 directions instead of 8. Is that better?
-
Basically, I would like to write some type of feathering filter. I need to find the 'edges' of the selection so I can fiddle with the alpha of those pixels. Let's say I have a given pixel that I'm looking at. If any of the 8 surrounding pixels are 'outside' of the current selection and this pixel is 'inside', then I have found an edge pixel and need to change the alpha of that pixel. When working with areas selected with the magic wand, the selection can become quite complex.

When running the following loop (from codelab): void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect) { for(int y = rect.Top; y { for (int x = rect.Left; x { } } } How can I know if the current pixel (src[x, y] or dst[x, y]) is inside of the current selection? With rectanglar selections, it seems easy, but when you are working with a selection created with the circle, lasso or magic wand... Thanks!

Once you commit the text to your bitmap layer, you can always rotate the layer. Look under the Layers > Rotate/Zoom menu.

Sorry, but the jpeg format implemented in Paint.net is not lossless--even at 100% quality.

Lots of info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jpeg

New feature request: Feather Selection
BoltBait posted a topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Rick, is there any way to add a "feather" feature? I've seen several requests like this one: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2257 And, I know that whenever I need to do this it is a pain. The steps to do the feathering are pretty standard and work nicely. I just wish they could be automated. This is such a base function for photo manipulation that it is a shame that it is so difficult in Paint.net. I told you before that I would keep a log of when I use Corel Photo Paint over Paint.net. This is one of those times. Thanks for listening. -
I think you're looking for something like this: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1886 Look for the post by "disabled" in that thread.

I simply *LOVE* your plug-in. However, I did find a bug in it. Whenever you have a concave selection, the results are not what is expected. Here is a screenshot of what I'm trying to say: Notice the area pointed to by the orange arrow. By the way, all convex selections I've tried work as expected. Hope this is clear. EDIT: Well, nevermind. I see you pointed out this limitation in your original post. Reading is tech, I hear. :wink:

I made this lightning bolt for the tutorials forum: Just imagine that its a nice finished piece instead of a screenshot. -
Question about paintbrush
BoltBait replied to SHMCMINN's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Float your mouse over the various buttons on the button bar at the top of the screen. Find the one labeled "Antialiasing" and the one labeled "Alpha Blending". Experiment with those. -
As soon as Rick sees it he will ask you to change it. Its too big.
-
Yeah, but I like donuts better. I never get tired of the joke where you pick up a bagel and tap it on the counter saying, "hey! these donuts are getting stale!"
-
I kinda like your current sig. What is that, a square, black donut on a red table?
-
Yay! OK, now back to work.

For the millionth time... Paint.net is not an animation tool. And, for another thing: This forum is for POSTING tutorials ONLY.

Feature Request - Selection Brush
BoltBait replied to mickiscoole's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
What you can do is create a new layer, paint on that and then use the magic wand to select it, switch layers and apply your effect. When you are finished, go back and delete the new layer you created. That's the way I do it. -
Shadow Effect Plugin - Updated for 4.0+ on 2015-03-23
BoltBait replied to ryanr23's topic in Plugins - Publishing ONLY!
Wow! Nice job. However, I think you should avoid using the word "Google" in the project. Potential copyright issues.
