What a post for a first one! 1. using float instead double is already a speed gain. 2. I'm not sure that 4 double multiplications and 4 double addition are computed faster than float cos... 3. If I could imagine vector and rotation on paper, I don't see how to write it in the program. Could you do it? 4. BTW I think we could improove this but anyhow is .Net running on your pentium II ? Which operating system ?

you're welcome. I thought we could only add plugins to the effect menu! 1.Why can't then we put some into the tool menu (polygone)? 2.Could you tell me what you did change for that? sure I'll do.

Then could it be good to be able to expand the canevas to the selection after we enlarged it outside the actual size...(rick?)

Easy one: 1. on the first layer run codelab 'RadialColor' 2. add a layer blend mode 'negative' and run codelab 'RadialRainbow' 3. add a layer blend mode 'negative' and run codelab 'Neboulous' 4. Flatten all, duplicate and flip horiz.. blend mode 'Glow' Hum, at some point I also played with brightness/contrast and curves.

If you save in .pdn format, then you save every layer (seen and hidden). If you save in other format (png, jpg ...) then everything is flattened (hidden/unchecked layers are lost). I suggest you to save in the both format (.pdn and other).

Press M to switch between Move Selection/Move Selected.

Did you notice that Bob sent you a link?

You should try to search on some Power Point Forum... I only have a french version so I don't know the correct terms in english. Open the View Menu (File / Edit / View) Select the slide master. Add a rectangle and right-click on it to click the paint bucket. Set the transparency to 50% and click on the color list box (don't choose background) click on textures then image. Choose the picture. It works for me. You could adapt the transparency. Then disactivate the slide master.

Just select the text with any selection tool you prefer press M for move tool and hold right click and drag!

Also tricky exercice : Sprint/Summer time outside picture to convert into Winter time! (add snow, boots, glove, whatever... snowman)

Look at this link: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3183 It's a matter of patience and precision.

Previous version DLL: here is the DLL for PDN 2.72

@Aron: Thanks Pdn art ?

Could you add a link (as a shortcut) on your first post to ours. it will be easier also for use to go to edit our post. Thanks.

I am only giving you an idea. I do not have your source image to do a proper edit. BTW thanks for the advice! Update:

What about 'Coloring A Black and White Image' http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2309 ? What about CodeLab experiments? Creating a Hexagonal Grid ? (Artistic maths!)

Yeah, perhaps. But light halo isn't like reflection (only vertical) it should be circular!

Use the search tool over this forum: 'Button' select forum 'Tutorials' You will find : Making glass buttons http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1158&highlight=button Chrome button http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1256&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=button A way to create bubbles... http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=16621#16621 ... a lot of ideas for buttons... even more if you search further!

Then you will see my secrets... But it's ok I'm a "sharer" ! The trick is to do the stuff in two pass. 1st loop I use a binary table as large as the image. It's where I "plot" the spots. 2nd loop I read as normaly the selection and read the binary table to decide what to draw on the 'dst'. I learnt it's better to set 'dst' line by line. So the 'precalculation' in the table AND normal 'plotting' in the dst make the rendering going faster! here is the source of the newer version I leave the old one if you want to compare. I'm still missing a good solution for anti-aliasing

Done (see my previous topic edited) :!:

lol

No, sorry! The methode I thought about isn't working well for that! I would appreciate if someone could help for this part!

===> I made this update from the provided sources files: here is the DLL Effect in the submenu "Effects/Distort" To install: Close Paint.net Unzip and place the DLL in your Effect folder usualy: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects ___________________ EDIT: here is the DLL for normal Effect menu

Polygone Effect : download the new version! Faster ! Slider for rotation (instead size) Effect in the submenu "Effects/Shapes" here is the DLL ____________________________________________ Thetacurves Effect : download the new version! it's now calles Spiro-Shapes Effect Faster ! Effect in the submenu "Effects/Shapes" here is the DLL ____________________________________________ To install: Close Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usualy: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects You could delete the Thetacurves.dll if it exists!

Download the new version! Sliders Hor/Ver now from -500 to 500 Effect in the submenu "Effects/Distort" here is the DLL To install: Close Paint.net Unzip and place the DLL in your Effect folder usualy: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects
