Click here to view or download it Canyon rocks, Starships, Stalactites/Stalacmites 02-2018 This tutorial will guide you to create some fancy volumes that could be compared to rocks of canyon and or stalactites/stalacmites. A lot of other "volumes" could be created using this method with some adjustments (ex: starships)... Starting with this tutorial, plus extra steps and time I made this image (original is 4000x2000). Plugins needed: Texture Object Rounder https://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=111754 Gravity https://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7968 Plugins optional: Moire https://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=8450 Random Shape Fill https://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=10633 TR's Custom Random Filler https://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=30002 Anti Aliasing < no swearing >istant https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/16643-dpys-plugin-pack-2014-05-04/ Let's start... 1.Create a new image 800x600. 2.Create a new layer (above the white background). 3.Use any way you want to draw something on the canvas. The restriction is to draw thin shapes not too close to the borders of the image. -use the pencil or pen -use Random Shape Fill -use render plugins (Random Shape Fill, TR's Custom Random Filler) -use texture plugins (Julia+, moire) -a mix of this... My example: Effect/Render/Random Shape Fill, set Minimum fill opacity (last slider) to 255, press ok, press Ctrl+F (redo to have more shapes). 4.Run Effect/Distort/Gravity (default values). 5.Run Effect/Height map/Texture Object Rounder... -Check Show Shading (and leave it checked). -Play with Height Map Scale and Texture Height Scale to have more/less contrast. 6.The result -Fill the background folder with a color (not white) to see the result. 7.Some Adjustment -Often the bottom part is white. Delete it and repeat the effect Gravity. 8.Finishing -Add a new layer -Fill it with a gradient from Blue(top) to Rose(Bottom)... Ok you could test other colors... -Press F4 to set the blend mode to Multiply. My other example: -Create a layer for each element of the complex objet. Here one color per layer per element: -Run Effect/Height map/Texture Object Rounder on each layer. (change settings to adapt the light or the shadows) (try to rotate the image if the rounded effect isn't "tasty" enought) (you could need to run anti aliasing < no swearing >istant on each layer) -Add a background In this example, I used the plugin TR's Custom Random Filler to fill the dark background... And Moire with alpha(transparency) to create the artefact lying on the floor.

Some more images...

Any smartphone? Just to let you see the quality of the picture is the biggest part of this task... All pictures from my smartphone (thumbnails, click to enlarge): Smartphone in hand: Smartphone put stable on a mug, with external light: Smartphone put stable on a mug, with flash: Smartphone put stable on a mug, without flash but ISO adjustment:

PC and SC must be defined before the if...

I would suggest Notepad++

Google image seach for your coin tou find a picture with the mintmark, copy/paste to your own picture the missing détails. Serously, try with a professionnal camera in a white/light room (not a webcam)...

Me too!

I don't get it! Which plugin ? -Rotate color -Panelling -Kaleidoscope There is a plugin "recolor from palette". Rotate color is most for image with few colors 3 to 20. Test it with a flag (US, UK Fr...).

I have this in my unpublished stock RotateColor.dll It works better with low numbers of colors. Otherwise, create a layer with vertical stripes. Duplicate and use panelling to slide one stripe. Redo till the rotation is complete. Then use the kaleidoscope with 4 pièces and rotation 45° on each layers Save as animated gif. Better quality gif

Thank you, make with Lens Flare, distance 0... + TG plugins tests... Next is:

Hi @kevin3120 and welcome to the forum. Is it possible for you to open a session using the local console of the server and test paint.net? Is the problem the same? Terminal Server is sending an image of the virtual session to the client PC. Paint.net is a program made to work with image. Both could work waiting for each other while the client PC should be refreshed.

@IRON67 thanks for the feedback.

@lynxster4 Thank you for sharing this great result. update 2018-01-27 (thanks to @ReMake - Visual studio version - Linked sliders (instead greyed). - Translation to French and Russian

Type the code using space between symbols and texts int b1 = 0; int b2 = 1; if(b1 == 1) b2 = b1 + 1; when I typed it, Ihave got on the last line b2 =b2 +1; add a new line to type b1 = b2 + 3; the space changes b1 and b2 into BadImageFormatException = BadImageFormatException + 3;

CodeLab proposes to grey and freeze element(s) depending on the value of another. "Connected" isn't the way it works. I will have to rebuild it with Visual Studio... and also to be able to add localisation...

Updated... thank you for reporting this. I don't get what you mean. When connected, only the first channel is used (Red channel) for all (same value used for green and blue).

Change Extreme Colors From this to this What's this? I wanted a way to change the colors by selecting the extreme values (the darkest or the brightest). Here is the effect I just created for that. This plugin was made using CodeLab v3.2. Download it! Plugin ChangeExtremeColors.dll Here is the DLL http://jcljay.free.fr/pdn/ChangeExtremeColors.zip 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 (please reverse / for correct path) Microsoft Store version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects (please reverse / for correct path) You have to adapt for your language My Documents How to use it This image is created to test the effect. I suggest you to copy and paste it in paint.net to run the plugin and get familiar with the settings. The sliders per channel define the range of colors to modify. And for each selected color you could increase/decrease with the amount for darkest or brightest. The range around 128 is just between darkest and brightest. Default values of the interface make no modification to the image. You have to change something. The User interface This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Color. Limit for Red/Green/Blue Set the values per channel to define the range of colors to modify. Same values (Red) Checked by default. If checked the slider Red is used for all the sliders. Unchecked to be able to change Green and Blue. Dark Colors Checked by default. If checked the colors in the darkest range are modified. Dark adjustment Add/subtract the value to the colors in the darkest range are modified on each channel. Light Colors Checked by default. If checked the colors in the brightest range are modified. Light adjustment Add/subtract the value to the colors in the brightest range are modified on each channel. Average/Maximum of channels When “Same values” is checked the test of the color is made on the average of the channel or on the maximum value of each channel. Maximum is better for monochrome colors when one channel is 255 and others are 0. The Examples: Voilà! Enjoy! Let me see what you could do with it! update 2018-01-27 (thanks to @ReMake - Visual studio version - Linked sliders (instead greyed). - Translation to French and Russian
