I've change the link to another address. You could now download my pack.

thank you skullbonz. It is easy to create the setup with Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

I would compare paint.net to a toolbox with some standard tools provided and then you can add more specific tools... Have you tried to run my pack with the setup.exe ? Then you should confirm the access to the folder...

Your outline/template isn't good enough for the cutting out. You will loose the part of the image under the line. That's why I suggested to draw the piece (or find a template more usable). Example: There is no gap between each piece of the puzzle.

You should draw the pieces without antialiasing and without lines. They must be filled forms with a different color for each piece. So you won't loose any pixel when you select with the magic wand.

The program folder in windows 7 is Write protected. You could change the rules for the Paint.net folders to give your user all control. After that you should be able to paste the plugins DLL. Or you could try to install Paint.net elsewhere than in the Program folder..

Hi EER, I find the topic number of the Addnoise+ on the old forum, so it might exist. The number is 20315, published/last updated 2007-09-13. It could also be a post as an answer to a discussion, without its own lead post. Anyhow, I have no right to delete topics... AddNoise+ was before the covering slider ratio is added to the built-in effect. It has no longer reason to exist now IMO.

What do you think about using a plugin for that ? http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=23498

UK is hard to figure out! You could try to split the U K I can't see any reason for the shading inside!

The highlight is like a shadow or a light that could give some kind of volume aspect. I'll give it a try... The offset control isn't too difficult to add but I think it isn't suitable for this effect as you should use the selection area for that. Maybe... Your suggestions are good ideas. Thanks a lot for them!

Could you tell me more about this ? You just called it: interface! No chance for me to create such interface like for liquify or custom brushes. And this plugin isn't enough popular (due to its similarity) to spend too much effort on it.

The donut effect could be a solution...

Yes but the brush width works also for the checker to give more strange grids. And the sliders are larger for easiest adjustments.

Done! See the topic of the plugin: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=4175

Shapes Render Effect Plugin What's this? Another toy to play with! The idea is to draw a repeating shape over the canvas, you choose the increase/decrease step, the speed, etc. The shapes available are : How does it works? Based on the settings it starts to draw a full size shape and apply the move et resize factors to calculate the next shape. Download the DLL Plugin Shapes.dll Here is the DLL The MadJik's All plugins package is available ! http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7186 How to install Close Paint.net Classic version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects Microsoft Store version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: /My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/ You have to adapt for your language My Documents The User interface This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Render. Shape (dft=Square) Choose the Shape in the list of available : Square, Circle, Triangle, Diamond, Star, Hexagone 1 & 2, Plus, Heart, Cloud, Cross, Sun, Splash, Snowflake, Butterfly, Frog, Bat, Spider, Flower Each shape is a precalculated list of points. Line style (Solid, Dash, Dash Dot, Dash Dot Dot, Dot, dft=Solid) You could use the line style to give more singular aspect... Corner style (Flat, Bevel, Round, dft=Flat) Use Bevel or Round to change the aspect of the corner. The Flat setting could generate some peak for few shapes. Change to Bevel or Round to correct this fact. Number of steps (0,1000, dft=20) Set here how many shapes you want to draw... Move X-Y /step (-1000,1000, dft=15) Set here how much you want the shape to move between each step. 0 = no move. Change Size X-Y /step (-1000,1000, dft=15) Set here how much you want the size of the shape to increase/decrease between each step. 0 = no change. External Margin (-1000,1000, dft=0) You may need to add a margin. This applies only on the first shape drawn as others may overpass the margin depending on the Move/Change size value... Tension 0=straight (-1000,1000, dft=0) Each shape is made with lines. It is possible to distort these lines using the tension value. Transparency (-1,255, dft=255) Set the transparancy of the shapes. This is usefull with the brushwidth to create nice figures. To use the primary/secondary colors transparency set this slider to -1. Rotation /step You could apply a rotation angle between each step. Change Brushwidth (-1000,1000, dft=0) Set here how much you want the brushwidth to change between each step. 0 = no change. this has to be related with the transparency and/or the Move/change to obtain better effects. Alternating colors (dft=Unchecked) If checked use the primary and secondary colors to draw alternatively each shapes. Invert the draw (dft=Unchecked) If checked start to draw the shape by the last step. It changes how the shapes are overlaying together. Switch the colors (dft=Unchecked) If checked invert the use of the primary and secondary colors. Fill inside (dft=Unchecked) If checked the shape is filled with a color based on the primary or secondary colors. Do a gradient (dft=Checked) If checked invert the use of the primary and secondary colors. Proportional values °/00 (dft=Checked) If unchecked the move/change size values are in pixels. If checked the values are in 1/1000th of the image size. Adjust: Off=Image, On=Square (dft=Checked) If unchecked the shape is drawn on the full canvas and could have a weird ratio. If checked the ratio height/width is forced to 1. A square is a square... Some examples:

@Ahmed: TY ! @Jaxon: Thank you. Your Gallery starts with good quality works. Impressive!
