[Expand and blend DEM]

PS you can also mirror diagonally between steps 10 and 11.

[Expand and blend DEM]

Bound to be, however I did that ^^ in about four minutes flat.

1. Make a selection around the smaller image
2. Copy it with Ctrl + C
3. Paste the copied selection into a new layer with Ctrl + Shift + V
4. Grab the middle left hand control nub and drag it to the right to mirror the image across the right edge.
5. Repeat 3 (you are re-pasting the original selection).
6. Grab the middle right hand control nub and drag it to the left to mirror the image across the left edge.
7. Repeat 3.
8. Grab the middle top control.....
9. Repeat 3.
10. Grab the middle bottom control....
11. Merge the four new layers.
12. Use Radial Gradient + Transparent mode to fade out the mirrored images.

There are other tools & techniques for step 12. Try a search for TR's Edge Fader Extreme for example.

To horizontally "de-skew" this chart one needs more range than what your plugin provides.

 

I'm not seeing a problem with your chart. Are you seeing an optical illusion that bends the top of the chart downwards?

 

I tried drawing a purple rectangle around the chart, and it seems to be orthogonal (which actually surprised me).

I do not see a DLL file.

 

Looks like your system is hiding it as potential malware. Try turning off your anti-virus and retry the download.

 

BTW I've just checked the download. The DLL is present as expected.

[Expand and blend DEM]

How is this different from what you asked here?

 

The problem is that you're smaller image has value noise at a tighter density than the background. What I'd try is mirroring the small image across each of it's edges then fading out the mirrors from the centre.

You're replying to a thread 14 years old. It's not surprising things have changed a little

 

I'll close this thread. If you still need/want the tie-died script @BoltBait mentioned, please start a new thread.

[what are the coolest effects and plugins for making art?]

No plugins required! Try these steps,

1. Effects > Distort > Dents. Set the Scale to half of the default value (around 6.75). Set the Refraction to 15. What you're trying to do with these settings is to give any straight edges a bit of an organic feel by introducing a bit of "wobble".
2. Effects > Artistic > Oil Painting. Lower the brush size & set the Coarseness above 200. Actual values here will depend on the detail in your image.

If you want the image to be even more chunky. Apply the Oil Painting effect again using Ctrl and F.

Are you using a non-standard DPI setting in Windows? What happens if you change it?

[Is there some way to prevent Primary/Secondary tab in color window from switching automatically?]

They switch automatically if you use the color picker 

 

No, they don't. Edit: Incorrect - see @BoltBait's answer below.

 

Make sure you're using the correct mouse button:

 

Quote

The color of the pixel under the cursor will be installed to the Primary color (Left Mouse button) or the Secondary color (Right Mouse button).

 

Are you using "C" to try and select the color picker? (it's shortcut is K)

I've just checked both links in the first post. The DLL link dowloaded as expected. Check your Downloads folder for a file named Spirals.zip.

@Ego Eram Reputo,

TR's Custom Random Filler appears in the Index as TR's Custom Shape Filler .  

 

Yep. Right below the title in the thread is this the AKA.

(AKA Custom Shape Filler)

 

I think it probably got renamed sometime after it was released. For consistency, I'll flag the Index to change it in the next release.

 

Thanks for pointing it out.

[Need help with shading!]

Before you try to create new skin, try copying what you have with the Clone Stamp tool . It copies regions of an image from one area to another.

[Automatic layer alignment (via anchor points)]

10 hours ago, Alpha23 said:

A plugin should be possible or already exist, because basically it's just two linear operations after one another: select two points on each layer and the plugin aligns one layer to the other.

 

Nope. Plugins have access to one layer = the active one. Most plugins which need to access a second layer use the clipboard as a temporary store.

Selections made by any of the Selection Tools can be chained together in this way

Thanks MJW - next release will have that wording change.

[Is there a mod to reverse engineer merged colors?]

There are two identically named Unblend plugins which should do this. The latest one is this >> Unblend

[How do you perforate an image?]

To create dots with varying size, create a mask layer filled with a Black & White gradient, then run the Halftone plugin over the layer with the Shape set to Spot. Use the Contrast & Brightness sliders to alter the size of the spots. Then continue using the above technique.

Can someone help me how to select the entire contents of the red box on the left without having to draw around it ?

1. Make a rectangular selection which includes all of the colored shape but does not go near the red borders.
2. Switch to the Magic Wand tool (TIP: hit the S key four times)
3. Hold down the CTRL key and make an additional selection between the red border and the previous selection.

...and you're done!

[ShapeMaker - by the Dwarf Horde v1.7.0 (October 6, 2020)]

Confirmed. I was also able to import the geometry.

 

I pasted the supplied SVG code into a new text file and saved it with a *.SVG extension. ShapeMaker loaded it without problem using File > Import Geometry.

 

I saved it as a brand new SVG file using File > Export (SVG). That too was reopened without error.
