Thanks, in fact, since I sent you that version, I made a small improvement to its distortion quailty, its not Anti-Aliasing quality but it is a bit better.

I'd be very happy, if tell me how to do it :-) I could make a translation to portuguese, like I did with Toli's plugins. I thought about having other people do translations to include, but then I realised it would be too much work for me to maintain, but when I post the tutorial you will be able to make a translation for yourself none the less. Anyway, A while ago, When Bleek II was asking for help on making the displacement plugin, I had a go at it myself, I have had a finnished version sitting around for several weeks now and never bothered to post it. Are people interested in another displacement plugin? Imagine taking the UI of my Channel Mask plugin and changing the features a bit. It has an angle chooser and distance as opposed to x and y coords, as well as supporting pdn files and options to let you choose where to map from, much like Channel Mask. About that error, I still haven't been able to reproduce it, or even look into it so I don't have a fix yet.

Is that a challenge. :wink: If you have any suggestions for Channel Mask, your more than welcome to let me know in my plugins thread.

I have tested it and can tell you that renaming any of my plugin file names will break them.

Thats a new one, I'll look into it. What version of Paint.NET are you running?

Yep, thats what I mean. Please don't let users rename the dlls, some effects simply won't work if you change their filename.

If you want to use the feather effect in your plugin, then the best way to do it would be to include the code in your own project (with BoltBaits permission of course), applying the feather effect after you have done your own would probably have some performance problems.

I haven't had a chance to look at this yet, but can it handle effects that use more than one dll?

Whats stopping you from creating a token for it now?

Thats where all the images, strings and the rtf file that is used for the equations help dialog are stored. Its also there so that people can make their own translations, but I haven't posted how to do that yet.

That never really got off the ground anyway, I kinda lost interest in it. This looks interesting though, I'll have a play with it when I get a chance.

Are you sure? Oh, I'm a little slow today. I think I just found it, your talking about the ISIC card thingy aren't you?

That would be right, Australia is not on the list. Anyway, I might actually have a go at this if people are still interested in it, I already have most of the code for loading and displaying images from my channel mask plugin. So basically all it does it samples the pixel from a different location, where the distance to the sample pixel is determined by the intensity of the mask image pixel, is that right?

OK, I think I have fixed that bug, Fern Fractal should now render properly and that crash error should be gone, please let me know if you still get that problem. The new version is now in the main post.

If you could post the text that is in the error box that would be a big help.

I don't have access to the other layers of the current document, only of the document that you load into it. Your welcome.

I've posted a new update on the first page. This has been added to the latest version. This has now been fixed.

And in the next version, the filename text box will be a drop down box with all the recent files as drop down items, making it even easier to open your last image.

It currently defaults to the last place you saved an image, that seems to be the best way to have it please everyone without having to implement that kind of feature. Right now I'm focusing on getting Fern Fractal fixed, which is proving to be much harder than it should be.

Same here, it made a cool looking fern before it disappeared. Thanks curtis. Gah, how did I let that through. :x OK, I'll go and have a look.

Updated with 2 new plugins, Fern Fractal and Channel Mask, you can download them now from the first post. As always, if you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to let me know.

Thats what I thought, so I just left that alone. Anyway, new plugin coming soon.

Well, after digging through the source code I found what I was after, but parts of it are marked internal or something so I don't think Rick wants us using them. Doesn't matter though I got it working a different way.

So its only gonna be for posting what your currently working on. That would work in theory, but I know that I don't like posting what I'm working on until I get to the stage where I know for sure I am going to release it. Theres no use saying I'm going to make plugin X, stopping everyone else do it, then end up not finishing it. Not to mention people getting their hopes up for a new plugin they want and then being let down.

This is a good idea, maybe we could also use it as a plugin suggestion thread as well, better communication between developers and users with ideas can only be a good thing.
