Correct. That filter is working for me. The only issue is that the new image is larger than the Paint.NET canvas, so the bottom of the cube is cropped.

Filters that require two layers can be used by placing the second layer on the clipboard.

In the Effects folder with the plugin.

What is giving you that message?

That is probably an issue with whatever method Qt uses to launch the dialog. Since it appears that I do not have any way of passing it a parent window handle, I am not sure if Windows correctly detects that it should behave like a modal dialog in Paint.NET. Another issue is that the dummy Paint.NET effect dialog briefly shows when the Qt dialog is closed, I do not know why that happens. 😕

@lynxster4 @HyReZ That issue is fixed. It was missing a few required DLL files. I should have tested it in a VM before release to make sure there were not any issues.

It should automatically download the filters when the plugin is first launched.

This plugin allows G'MIC-Qt to be used as a Paint.NET Effect. Compatibility: 5.0.13+ Menu location: Effects > Advanced > G'MIC-Qt Filters that require top and bottom layers can be used by placing the top layer on the clipboard, the currently selected layer will be used as the bottom layer. To install place Gmic.dll and the gmic folder in the Paint.NET Effects folder. G'MIC-Qt should automatically download the filters when the plugin is first launched. Download: Most users will need the win64 download. The ARM64 section below is intended for devices with ARM64 processors (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro) . ARM64 For ARM64 devices running Windows 10 use the arm64_win10 download, G'MIC-Qt will run under the emulated x86 environment. For ARM64 devices running Windows 11 use the win64 download, G'MIC-Qt will run under the emulated x64 environment.

Your release notes did not include the clipboard background transparency fix.

@Joshua Lamusga is the genius for creating this plugin, I just contribute a few minor changes here and there. I edited my previous post to clarify that Brush Factory does not currently support the color palette functionality.

Plugins cannot create layers, but the following steps can be used as a workaround. Create a new empty layer for the Brush Factory to draw on Copy the layer you want to use as a guide to the clipboard Right click on the Brush Factory canvas and select the "Use clipboard as background" option Please note that any transparent areas in the image will be displayed as white, because the clipboard image the plugin currently uses does not support transparency. Brush Factory does not currently support this. But as the Windows color dialog supports a 16 color custom palette, one solution may be for Brush Factory to store that custom palette during the Paint.NET session. As Paint.NET allows Effect plugins to read the user's current color palette, it could even set the default palette to the first 16 opaque colors in Paint.NET's palette. Although I am not sure if that behavior would confuse users due to it skipping transparent colors.

Changed the vertical cross cube map layout, file version updated to 1.9.1.0. Added a Cube Maps wiki page describing the supported formats.

Added support for loading and saving cube maps. Reduced memory usage when loading. File version updated to 1.9.0.0.

You should be able to run them using the following plugin: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/20622-psfilterpdn-2018-08-13/

Interesting, I was unaware the EnvironmentParameters are defined in OnCreatePropertyCollection. I updated the first post to remove the Effect plugin code.

There are some cases where it would be useful to allow FileType plugins to disable or change parts of their UI based on the properties the current Document (such as Size, layer count, Metadata etc). For example, if I added cube map support to to DDS FileType Plus the accompanying checkbox would only apply to images with 6 layers. While I can set the checkbox description to state that requirement and ignore it if the images do not meet it, I think it would be more user friendly (and easier lo localize) if there was a way to uncheck and disable the checkbox when the image does not have 6 layers. Example:

If your images contain mipmaps (smaller versions of the main image), you can edit the main image and select the "Generate Mipmaps" option when saving.

Editing DDS Files with multiple images (such as cube maps) is not currently supported.

Updated the WebP filetype to the latest version.

Updated to use WebP version 1.0.1, file version updated to 1.0.9.0.

Upgraded to the November 16 2018 release of DirectXTex, file version updated to 1.8.7.0.

@Ego Eram Reputo Another issue is that the author list displays my username twice, one is all lowercase and the other has a capital N.

No, but I can link to a few. https://resources.psdbox.com/photoshop/flying-birds-photoshop-brushes https://resources.psdbox.com/photoshop/sun-rays-free-photoshop-brushes https://www.brusheezy.com/brushes/2187-24-clouds

Fixed: Handle missing directories when loading brushes I am not able to reproduce that.
