I'll take the liberty of taking that as a compliment It's not possible with codelab... It could be if I would export the source to visual studio and edit it there, but I'm not all too sure about the details ... btw I just added an anti-alias function (re-download if needed, the link is the same.)

Yeah congrats to winner(s), and yellowman, I'd be real interested in knowing how you made that...

Ergonomic? User-friendly? Nah, those things are for pussies! LOL! So basically, I was getting tired manually adjusting the kerning of some fonts, and so I started thinking... could I write a plugin to write kerning-adjusted text? So, quickly thinking, the first idea I got was to give a slider to each letter to adjust the kerning... so yeah, it sounded good in theory... but man, when I saw that huge stack of sliders I was like =O=O=O ...anyway, it works, but the UI is so horrible that I'm too embarassed to put it on the general plugins forum... if anyone wants to use this monstrosity, here you go: Kerned text plugin it also has x,y control and bold/italic options. ps. Imagine, initially I was going to set the string maximum to 100!

Well thanks. I just wish I had entered the second galaxy I made, it came out a lot better, but I had already entered the first one by then so meh. Guess it teaches me not to rush with things, lol.

Nice tut. Here's mine

Look at the right side of the image, at the layer window. The settings are written on the layer names... but good point, I'll add something so people know where to look. e. How's this? (see image)

Unless I'm mistaken, that's just a conical gradient.

This tutorial will work on text and other objects of single colour. Results can be something like this: It works even better with less rectangular things, btw. You will need Height to normal and Eigen blur for this tutorial. All instructions are in the images. Enjoy. Another example result:

Ah, it was a simple thing after all. I forgot to add the offset of the selection to the centerpoint calculation. The center point selection now works as it should, ie. 0,0 = center of the selection. The coordinates are still relative to the selection, if you need the center point to be outside the selection you'll need to select a few pixels in the corners to give a larger selection. If this is a problem to anyone, let me know and I'll try to find out how to acquire the canvas size to a plugin... Anywho, Version 1.5

Hm, I'll look into it ASAP.

Odd. Are you sure you didn't have any stray pixels selected? Because the double vector is apparently relative to the selection, ie. 0,0 = center of the selection.

Ok I updated the first post with version 1.4. It's the same as 1.3 but it should be at least marginally faster. I will continue to optimize the code as I get better at coding C#. Still haven't been able to tackle the anti-alias issue, sorry for that. I'll keep working on it.

You need to cut out the portion of the image you want white. This will make the portion of the image transparent. Then create a white layer and put it below your image layer. If you see pixelation or jagged edges apply object feather or aa's assistant on the image layer.

Because you are erasing your only layer. Beneath the layer is nothing so you see the "canvas colour" which represents transparency. Create a new layer and fill it with white, put it below your first layer. Then you'll see white through the first layer when you erase from it.

Wow, that looks nice. And thanks. Also, just to let everyone know, I've been a bit busy with other things, but I'm working on rewriting the code of v1.3 and I have some ideas how to make it faster... I also have a few ideas I'm going to try that could be used to implement an anti-alias function. Stay tuned...

nvm..

Don't use IE. There's something funky with the way IE shows images.

That entry #1 looks amazing. After the comp is over I'd love it if the author would reveal how it was made.

You can associate paint.net with all your image file types, then set up your folder settings of the folder where you have your images to show them as thumbnails. Then you can simply doubleclick the image you want to edit and it should be automatically opened in paint.net.

DA:0 // the RGB prime colour contrast is not used properly here. Too much pixelation, and no real focus in the image. Elements of the image are conflicting each other. Mayor:3 // Text cacti? nice idea and well executed. Only criticism I have is that the letters would look better if they were more rounded: now they look a bit flat, especially with the strong, solid drop shadow. But nice work nonetheless. #winner = Mayor

You can use object outline or drop shadow after the feather to grow the "misty border".

On second thought, I might start packing everything as ARJ just to piss you guys off.

I made an old wooden crate, used for shipping goods. Texture: The image:

If you want to fill a selection with white, select white as your primary (foreground) colour and press backspace.
