Updated, completely changed how this thing works. Will work on another plugin for making dither algorithms for this later, also might make this multithreaded later (Plugin update on my birthday ... Wooo!)

No crash log, it just crashed. Just tried the new version and after some time of editing the display driver stopped responding (scared me for a second) and it crashed again, still no crash log

Tried it and... PDN crashed after a while and the source image was flipping up and down on every edit i made to the code

Cool! I have, in a long time, wanted to make GLSL shaders that could be run in PDN. I might try this later but I'm a bit busy with other things right now. Hope you solve the crashing issue and make it more stable.

What about the gradient effect there's in KrisVDM's plugin pack?

you could try -despeckle or -enhance in IM (You could also take a look in this thread http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15855) hope it helps

like this CurrentPixel = src.GetBilinearSampleClamped(x, y);

Well, as i said above i can only get the correct results if i process the whole image in one run, i tried quite a few things to get it working but for some reason it just dont want to come with the expected result if i dont run it through the whole image like ErrorDiffusionSimple eds = new ErrorDiffusionSimple(divisor[DitherMethod], maps[DitherMethod]); eds.ProcessDither(SrcClone, dstArgs.Surface, reg, srcArgs.Bounds, BitDepth); which is extremely slow, and this problem only seem to be there with custom UI (only made a fast test from codelab, it ran fine there, and it ran fine before the custom UI) i have been thinking all day without coming closer to a solution, only made changes which change the ouput to even worse when clicking ok and I always forget to make backups

Right click is used to rotate selections, and when pasting something in an image will automatically include it in a selection, i think that is why

Just some extra info, it tried to copy the class into codelab and test with the default values (not anything loaded from anywhere) it worked fine, when i did the same in my solution it had too much contrast edit: Some comparisons my result how it should be more like edit2: Apparently i don't get the bad result if i run through the image in one run, so i dont know whats causing this any ideas?

Its in this thread:

Uhm, somewhere in November last year i decided to make a major update to Simulate Color Depth after being somewhere with lots of errors and crashes i got away from it and onto something else. A few days ago i decided to take it up again and decided just to write a whole new easier customizable error diffusion dithering class, success in nearly first try, and as planned i began to add XML support for custom dithers. On my way home from school today my computer had a bluescreen while it was sleeping, but luckily i had my project saved so it wasn't a big problem, so i came home turned on my computer, saw the bluescreen, restarted. Then i worked hard to get the XML stuff working but when i finally worked the result from the error diffusion had too much contrast based on how it was before i implented the XML support, that counts both for the same algorithm called from the data from the XML file and with the values i used before coded in directly, heres the class (default algorithm is Floyd-Steinberg, and the result is long away from what it have been, for a good guidance of how it should look like click here) internal class ErrorDiffusionSimple { const int ERROR = -190; int divisor; int[][] multiply; int boffset = ERROR; int foffset = ERROR; internal ErrorDiffusionSimple() { divisor = 16; multiply = new int[2][]; multiply[0] = new int[1] { 7 }; multiply[1] = new int[3] { 3, 5, 1 }; } internal ErrorDiffusionSimple(int divisor, int[][] multiply) { this.divisor = divisor; this.multiply = multiply; } internal ErrorDiffusionSimple(int boffset, int foffset, int divisor, int[][] multiply) { this.boffset = boffset; this.foffset = foffset; this.divisor = divisor; this.multiply = multiply; } internal unsafe void ProcessDither(Surface src, Surface dst, PdnRegion reg, Rectangle rect, int BitDepth) { int sl = multiply[0].Length; int ll = multiply[1].Length; for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++) { for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++) { ColorBgra cp = *(src.GetPointAddressUnchecked(x, y)); ColorBgra np = Dithering.GetClosestColor(cp, BitDepth); for (int x2 = x+1; x2 <= x + sl; x2++) { if (reg.IsVisible(x2, y)) if (multiply[0][x2-1-x] != 0) *(src.GetPointAddress(x2, y)) = errorDiffuse(cp, np, *(src.GetPointAddress(x2, y)), multiply[0][x2 - 1 - x]); } for (int y2 = y + 1; y2 < y + multiply.Length; y2++) { for (int x2 = x - (boffset == ERROR ? sl : boffset); x2 <= x + (foffset == ERROR ? sl : foffset); x2++) { if (reg.IsVisible(x2, y2)) if (multiply[y2 - y][x2 + (boffset == ERROR ? sl : boffset) - x] != 0) *(src.GetPointAddress(x2, y2)) = errorDiffuse(cp, np, *(src.GetPointAddress(x2, y2)), multiply[y2 - y][x2 + (boffset == ERROR ? sl : boffset) - x]); } } *(dst.GetPointAddressUnchecked(x, y)) = np; } } } private ColorBgra errorDiffuse(ColorBgra c1, ColorBgra c2, ColorBgra c3, int multiplier) { int b, g, r; b = c1.B - c2.B; g = c1.G - c2.G; r = c1.R - c2.R; return ColorBgra.FromBgr(Clamp(c3.B + ((multiplier * / divisor)), Clamp(c3.G + ((multiplier * g) / divisor)), Clamp(c3.R + ((multiplier * r) / divisor))); } private byte Clamp(int { return Convert.ToByte(b < 0 ? 0 : b > 255 ? 255 : ; } } Im now sure why it have changed contrast wise but it have (before the bluescreen, custom UI and XML stuff it worked fine and looked quite much, only with minor differences, like the picture i linked to above)

I wouldn't do that, if its in an irregular selection (round, shaped) it will do it outside the selection that way read this: http://www.boltbait....lp/tutorial.asp it explains it edit: I guess your trying to avoid going "outside" the image, if so use src.GetBilinearSampleClamped(x, y);

for (int y = rect.Top + 1; y < rect.Bottom - 1; y++) { for (int x = rect.Left + 1; x < rect.Right - 1; x++) { should be for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++) { for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++) {

Thanks for the fix working fine now quite nice effect
