Ego Eram Reputo

Single or Double Rimmer?

Happy New Year - have a list of plugins! Eight new plugins listed. I've also updated the Quick lookup list (attached to the first post).

You are looking in the right place for the file extensions?

Rules is rules. Some people will always find them boring. Even if they were really interesting - loads of folks still won't bother to read 'em. Of course after a Rule Ogre ™ nibbles on them a bit they get wise

I'm not going to argue with you. Blame Dylan Vester Thanks.

Is there anything listed under Utilities menu > View plugin load errors?

TIFF: Tried, It Frequently Fails

Internal snapshot: CTRL + PrtScrn CTRL + N (OK) CTRL + V CTRL + S You can crop as you wish in between the last two steps.

@Rockape: This was posted in the Tutorials+ section of the forum. I've moved it to the General Discussion & Questions section for you

As this is not a tutorial: Moved to General Discussion & Questions @Fred2010: can you post an example of what you're after?

This belongs here; or here: You can choose which & then repost your question.

For another method, there is Thermal Heat Map plugin. It doesn't have quite the same detail as it tends to blur the edges, but is more in keeping with what you'd see in a thermal image. Think "Predator" vision!

Looks like you want the Shadow Effect

WOW! This is astonishing. Very, very impressive indeed. Thank you - this is absolutely my favorite plugin.

What ALL of it? Methinks a tut on the background alone would be a winner. Very cool image Welshy .

You are so close! I've edited the first post to give you an idea of the format. The first two, and last image have been made into clickable thumbnail links. Log on to your PhotoBucket account and click on the image you want to link to. When it opens you'll find a list of links provided, copy the one that says IMG THUMB and paste this into the correct location in your post. Delete the attachment. Repeat this for each of the attached links.

So now we know why screenshots were not included - you didn't post him any! Said user will not be around for a week due to another indiscretion (took exception to me locking the tut). I'll delete the tutorial altogether. Mountnman if you wish to repost it as your tutorial (with screenshots) I'm OK with that.

Around here we don't bite the Newbs. Count the posts. From what I can see, the effect is rather unique. noahintergalactic has done a pretty good job explaining it too. @noahintergalactic: This is what you need to do to fix the screenshots:

Thermal Heat Map What's this? This plugin creates a heat map from an input image. Like this: Where do I find it? After installation, this plugin resides in the Effects > Distort submenu. How does it work? The plugin uses the intensity of the source image to create the map. Bright or light regions of the source image are interpreted being more intense, and are rendered in hotter colors. Dim or dark regions are interpreted as less intense, and therefore rendered in cooler colors. Transparent or semi transparent areas of the source image are interpreted as being less intense than the same area if it were fully opaque. Thus the output map will be cooler for these areas. Users should note that I've given the rendering loop a little randomization. This will mean that rendering the effect twice over duplicate images will likely not produce exactly the same effect both times. I've done this to reduce artefacts generated by the circular gradient brush if it's implementation is too regimented. The idea (and much of the code) came from here: http://dylanvester.c...C-Sharp%29.aspx The UI explained: Heatpoint Radius: Determines the size of the area colored by a single 'heat point'. Smaller radii render faster and reveal more detail, but the resultant map is cooler. Larger radii show less detail and render slower (sometimes much slower), the resultant map will be warmer. Thermostat: Used to control the temperature of the output map. Lower values (slide the bar left) lower the output temperatures. Higher values (slide right) create warmer temperatures. Invert Intensity: Think of this as flipping the thermostat (left to right). Cooler areas will now be warmer, and vice versa. Enhance Colors: Not happy with the washed-out look? Check this checkbox to make the colors more vivid. Warm colors will become even warmer, and cool colors colder. How do I install it? 1. Click the link below to download the zip file. 2. Unzip the file and copy or move the *.dll into your Paint.NET/Effects/ folder. 3. Restart Paint.NET. ThermalHeatMapEffect.zip

I'm not sure that there is anything wrong with this tut. It is very hard to tell exactly what the effect is, because the screenshots are so small. The first linked image is only 250x156 pixels, so after viewing it I'm still unsure of the result. @noahintergalactic, please consider making the screenshots a little larger so it's easier to see what this tut is all about.

Done.

Glad you like it. Here's the latest - and I think the last - build. Unless there are problems or bugs I think it's finished (that's tempting fate ). New bits: numeric counters linked to the sliders, and an 'enhance' checkbox for more vivid colors. Anything else I should consider implimenting? Speak now.....,

Have a look at this plugin: Printer+. It has loads of extra printing features and options. For info on installing plugins, go here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/36-how-to-install-pluginsgeneral-plugin-troubleshooting/

No there is no crescent/eclipse tool. You can easily create a crescent by using the Ellipse Selection Tool . Here's how: 1. Select the Ellipse Selection tool and draw an ellipse on your canvas. 2. Change the Ellipse Selection tools Selection Mode to Subtract (it's in the the toolbar). 3. Draw another ellipse, the overlapping parts will be erased when you stop holding the mouse button down (the overlapping areas appear white, the non-overlapping areas remain blue when you're drawing the second ellipse). 4. Select the paint bucket tool , and fill the crescent with the primary color. The edges might need tidying up. Oh and remember to switch the Selection Mode on the Ellipse Selection Tool back to Replace when you're done or the tool won't work as you're used to

Hi Kermisfreak1000, You'll note that I've made some changes to your thread. First I've edited the thread title to conform to Rule #6. Thread titles must be descriptive, "How to make this?" is too generic to be useful. Second, I've replaced your image with a link. This is because the image was oversize (Rule #29). 800 pixels is the maximum dimension allowed. Enjoy your time here on the forum.
