    Cakie67 Plugins disappear from my Paint.Net effects & New ones Appear?????

    in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

    Posted

    1. open paint.net
    2. click the tiny :HelpTopics: icon at the top right.
    3. click 'Forum' - it brings you to the forum homepage ...and probably how you found the forum.
    4. scroll down to where it says 'Plugins - Publishing ONLY' and look underneath for the words 'Plugin index', click on those words.
    5. That brings you to the plugin index page... see @Pixey's screen shot above.
    6. click in the box below where it says 'Search Options' and type in the name of the plugin you are looking for.
    7. a list of plugins will appear - click on the title of the one you want and it should take you to the page where it can be downloaded.

     

    @Cakie67 - I'm not trying to be patronising - just trying to be clear.😉

     

    It's a good idea to 'bookmark' the plugin index in your browser, which will take you straight to step 5.

     

    Good luck finding the plugins you are seeking.

    But psychocolour is a different matter entirely. Can't get enough of it 😉

    Good man!💰😉

     

    If people really want to play with the code to create different 'odd' colours, the original code is here... my very first... or maybe second post on the forum!

    Object Bevel update 1/4/2016 (previously Bevel Object)

    in Plugins - Publishing ONLY!

    Posted

    The effect measures across the object at the angle produced by the 'Position of light source' control.
    If the 'Overall depth' is greater than the object width you will get that effect... it is correct but probably not exactly what you want.☚ī¸


    I would suggest lowering the Overall depth first and possibly running a small blur on the object afterwards.
    Both my Overblur and @toe_head2001's Gaussian Blur clamped have the ability to apply a blur to an object only (to avoid blurring the object edges).

     

    Hope that helps.

     

    You may also find MJW's Edge shader useful for pipes too?

    Is there a option to carve out objects? example picture attached

    no way of unselecting a specific section

    Try using the subtract selection mode? (but remember to switch back afterwards).

    https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/SelectionTools.html

     

    If you need Bezier curves or splines then create an object with the line tool on a new layer and use this to make your selection, then move back to your image layer to delete the selection? The ShapeMaker plugin can also be used for this technique if more complex geometry is needed.

    Median alpha bug

    in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

    Posted

    Perhaps a simple and ugly 'bodge' after the Median code?... If the bug in the original code is not an easy fix.

     

    pseudo code:

    if(current pixel == ColorBgra.FromBgra(1,1,1,1)){current pixel = ColorBgra.FromBgra(0,0,0,0);}
    dst[x,y] = current pixel;

     

    @Rick Brewster Thanks for taking a look at the problem though!... correcting the original code would always be the better option, if possible.

    Median alpha bug

    in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

    Posted

    Pdn 5.0.7

    Running the built-in Noise/Median (default settings) on an object layer with background bgra = 0,0,0,0 changes this to bgra = 1,1,1,1.
    It does this for the whole layer regardless of distance from or even presence of an object.

     

    Test: Add new layer, use eye dropper to check values, run Median, check values again.

     

    It's the change in the alpha that is most annoying as it messes with effects that detect object edges but is visually indiscernible.
    Possibly small implications for file sizes too perhaps?

     

    I vaguely remember this issue from way back ... (quick search). I mentioned it in my Object Bevel thread in 2016.
    Just wondered if it's likely to be looked into?
