I have like 500 fonts and I have a super old machine. It worked fine for me.

I think that would create more trouble, like gradients can screwup, you know.

The bottom left of the car has a white border. Yes, it's sharpened. Also, I've circled all the suspicious parts: The car might have been pasted on.

um... I will see what I can do to "unantialias" pictures... *writing plugin*

I think my plugin now works equally well on any alpha values. I've fixed the "dark outline" bug.

Whooopy! This is awesome! Thanks!

The plugin can yield superior smoothing results on any kind of shapes if you are willing to let the object to grow 10+px on the edges. @Ash That's pretty good. You use the antialias plugin for the highlight and the bluish-green shape? or did you just motion blur them? Btw, there's one thing this plugin cannot do, and that is smoothing a very thin line (1px or even 2 px) while keeping it thin. However, I don't think that's ever possible.

Here's a simple work around: Just create a bigger image, and after anti-aliasing, crop to the correct size. The bug only appear on the edges, and so if you chop out the edges, it would look just fine. Btw, I hope I've made the task simpler instead of complicating things even more.

Google Apps let you do that.

Make the canvas size bigger (but center the object), antialias it, and then crop it. That should reduce the problem. Then, you can just brush like 3 or 4 pixels if you are a perfectionist. The bug appeared because it is impossible to determine which way the line is going without looking at further pixels.

Play around with the options before jumping to conclusions: Amount: 9 Strength: 926 and turn off "soft border" I got this:

@Fisherman Flash's lossless compression is already pretty good. I mean, a 500kb png file can be compressed to 100kb~150kb in flash without loosing quality. It's jpg compression is also pretty good too. You can often get like 5% of the original file size without loosing too much quality (about 75).

@Pyrochild Totally agree. In flash, you can add a loading bar easily. Also, flash is good with Bitmaps too. Most photo slideshows are done in flash. I don't see any reason to ditch flash (and I love coding flash games btw)

Sometimes you don't have to wait that long. The anti-alias plugin should work for transparency gradients now! PS: turn off "soft outline"

BIG UPDATE! 1. FULLY fixed transparency bug. If you turn the outline off, then semitransparent stuff should be smoothed like any other objects! 2. Add "soft outline" option for edge enhancement. Turn it off if your image has very light colors. Enjoy!

I think the newest AA plugin will work if you are careful about the options. I managed to get semitransparent gradient to work with these settings: Amount: 7 Strength: 900

Updated: added the "strength" slidebar, and expand the "Amount" slidebar to 30 You should now be able to do the "true" feathering (low strength) as well as anti-aliasing (high strength). Left: amount 13 strength 669, Right: amount 5 strength 985 The "strength" should be kept above 900 if you want clearcut, solid anti-alias. The higher it is, the clearer the anti-alias, and 990 will produce pixelated results. The "amount" is expanded to 30. Anything above 30 is freaking slow because calculating the average of 1000 surrounding pixels (about 32x32) for every pixel on the screen isn't a very efficient operation.

Meh typing in caps doesn't help anything. If you can just read English, and not being so impatient like a n00b, you can find the lens plugin easily. Here's what I did: 1. go to http://www.getpaint.net/search.html 2. type lens 3. then the search result comes out... select the link that says something about lens plugin 4. takes me to the EdHarvey's effects pack, and by some reading, I found that it includes a lens effect 5. download it, extract it, and drop it into the effects folder 6. open paint.net, and look under Effects -> distorts 7. voila, you have the lens plugin!

And we use selectionRegion.IsVisible(x, y) ?

Is there any way to determine the edge of the selected area? Or maybe at least how far is a pixel to the edge of the selection. And I mean a selection made by the lasso tool or the eclipse tool. I need it for my bevel plugin... :?

Here's a cat with transparent background: It should work.

btw, I use motion blur + radial blur instead of alpha mask...

It doesn't smooth anything at all if it goes pass 5 somehow :? However, you can expect something like smoothing 100 pixels soon

@DecemberWinds It won't get rid of white pixels; only add to it. My suggestion: select with a higher tolerance, and use the plugin.
