PropertyBasedEffect template using IndirectUI
Ego Eram Reputo replied to midora's topic in Plugin Developer's Central
Great work Midora! A suggestion: Is it worth giving the alternative to a menu icon held in Resources? public static Bitmap StaticIcon { get { return new Bitmap(typeof(EffectPlugin), "EffectPluginIcon.png"); } } // Entire StaticIcon method (above) can be replaced by the StaticImage method (below) referencing a PNG icon held in Resources public static Bitmap StaticImage { get { return Properties.Resources.Icon; } } -
Rick (Paint.NET Developer) has a close association with Microsoft. I'm sure he has either conformed to the requirements or has explicit permission to use .NET in the name.

AVI Frame Importer: AVIImport Version 4.0
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Simon Brown's topic in FileType Plugins
Your loss. I think you're thinking about this too much. Think about this instead, the thread was started by Jan 01 2008 12:01 PM. Thats five years ago. Over 4561 downloads have been made in that time. Simon was specifically asked if he had the legal right to use this program (http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/7488-avi-frame-importer-aviimport-version-40/?p=111615). His answer was "yes". I can also say that this is the only plugin that will allow you to attempt to open AVI files. -
i got this trouble with Paint.Net (error )
Ego Eram Reputo replied to esewey57's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
You need to remove all traces of the remaining installation before downloading a fresh copy and re-installing. See this thread: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/692-install-update-or-uninstall-trouble-read-this/ You want to read post #2 carefully and be careful with the WIC utility. -
No it won't. Effects and the pseudo tools only have access to the active layer.

It would be doable in the form that pyrochild said. Have a llook at the Smudge plugin or Liquify to see how it could be done and what the working surface might look like.

About sprites and Graphic Designing Questions.

Get started with Paint.NET by trying some of the tutorials in the Beginners section. Those tutorials are designed to introduce you to the tools, techniques and methods of using Paint.NET. -

About sprites and Graphic Designing Questions.
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Nibre's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
I've done a bit of this sort of design. IMHO if you want to sketch or get into this line of work you should buy a drawing tablet like the Wacom Bamboo or similar. Paint.NET does not support pressure sensitivity of the stylus but it should be much easier than using the mouse. -
Changes not being shown?
Ego Eram Reputo replied to dabbido's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
^ That's the order that is stated @dabbido: Correct. Saving first as a PDN then as a PNG is the time honored method of preserving the layer structure in case you need to edit the image later. The Save As..PNG should prompt you to flatten the image if it has layers. Investigation: Are the file time stamps consistent with the changes and save order? I.e. last modified <date> when you view the file details in Explorer? Possibility: You've saved the image to a new location and are reopening the original in the old location. Hence the lack of changes. -
Need Correct PlugIn Name
Ego Eram Reputo replied to flynby's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
1. Activate the Magic Wand tool 2. Click anywhere on the white background to select it. Adjust the Tolerance in the Tool Bar to get 100% of the background selected. 3. Press the Delete key. 4. Save the image in a format which supports transparency, like PNG, not JPG. -

Hey dabbido - welcome! In order to preserve the layer structure you need to save the image as a *.PDN. What format are you saving the image as? -
Changing screenshot images PSD to DDS
Ego Eram Reputo replied to jakc's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Clearly there are two images. One does not 'change' to the other when you save it. Perhaps the trouble is with the method you're using to take the screenshot? Perhaps you're using another camera angle when taking the screenshot? <edited thread title> -
How would you create a Cattle Brand?
Ego Eram Reputo replied to jp2paint's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Try white or off-white (light grey) lettering on a transparent layer placed above the existing textured background. A small blur (e.g. Gaussian Blur @ 2 to 4 ) will make the edge less distinct. Press F4 and try different Blend Modes with different opacity settings (Hint: Lighten, opacity 50% or around 128). -

Ideas to get you started: Make the central circle into a glossy button. There is this plugin Buttons, or this tutorial http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/12304-glossy-avatarbutton/ Give the lettering some pop with this tutorial http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/16630-glossy-web-20-style-text/ -
Line *ONLY* , NOT curve
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Kme's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
PDN uses the Enter key to commit something to the canvas. This gives you space to fiddle with the effect/adjustment/tool before you settle on it. Imagine if the gradient tool worked the way you are suggesting - no more dragging the control nubs around -

TR's Edge Fader Extreme V 5.3.5 (June 15th 2014)
Ego Eram Reputo replied to TechnoRobbo's topic in Plugins - Publishing ONLY!
I've got the latest version, which is working as anticipated. The previous version did the same as running the effect twice - perhaps I did (run it twice). Oops I'm not convinced this should be under the Selection submenu - as you don't run it on a selection. You run it on an object, so I would argue that the Effects > Object menu is the place for it. It's a bit like AA's Assistant on steroids! -
automatic layer alignment
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Alpha23's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Automatically? No there isn't. You can do it manually. 1. open the larger image and import the second as a new layer. 2. press F4 on the upper layer and lower the opacity to a point where you can see the important points in both layers. 3. Ctrl A selects all the layer. M activates the move tool 4. Left click on a corner nub and drag to resize. Hold shift to maintain H and W ratio. 5. Drag the image to move it (any part of the image not on a control nub). 6. Rotate the image by dragging with the right mouse button. When you have repositioned and rescaled, restore the opacity by reversing step 2. -
AVI Frame Importer: AVIImport Version 4.0
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Simon Brown's topic in FileType Plugins
Inclusion in the Index makes NO recommendation on the Plugin at all. The fact that this is authored by Simon Brown means a great deal. I trust him and his work. Simon has been a longstanding and valued member of this forum and is a highly respected contributor. If you have any worries over new plugins,scan them heavily before installing them. -

I'm not getting results like your example. I've placed an object on a layer and tried running the effect on the entire layer and selection(s). Can you please explain some more? -

Negating a Color Filter
Ego Eram Reputo replied to nicknack's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Very roughly: I saved panel two as a separate image so I could use its palette later on with this plugin: Color Match Then I desaturated the image to (very roughly) equalize the color information. Finally I applied the palette from panel two image n order to get this: You can see that the image is only very slightly colored. It's going to take a significant amount of work to get it looking acceptable.
