Red ochre

Mouth watering!

Well done for persevering AgentGoodspeed! Good result, thanks for posting the image. I've started re-writing Bevel object and intend to produce an updated version without the time limit slider and warning, now I have a better idea what I'm doing. The functionality will stay the same.

Many thanks Seerose! And thank you Pixey!...I think if the first one was a real world wallpaper it really would drive people 'round the bend'! (not least the poor person trying to align the seams). I see you're heading for your two-thousandth post - congratulations!

I agree....well, I gave up. You're more patient than me!

AgentGoodSpeed - the effect is designed to work on 'objects' (opaque areas surrounded by fully transparent pixels). If it is run on a layer with many opaque pixels it will take forever - looping out to try and find an object edge for each solid pixel! I made the mistake of running it on a solid layer whilst writing and testing it and decided to add a 'safety' slider to limit how long it takes. Otherwise you could be waiting hours for it to complete, with no way of cancelling. I suggest you keep the text and the frame on different layers. If you want to live dangerously you can increase the 'maximum time limit' slider. (I did say it was a bit 'clunky'... it was the first one I wrote using VS, so quite astounded it works at all! ) If I ever get time I will try to find a better solution. Eli - great use of the plugin. To me it looks more like slate than metal but it's a good look! - thanks for posting the image.

Thanks Lynxster!

Thanks Maximilian! It's the pharaoh's personal time machine.

Another cool image Dipstick - thanks! My 'Bevel object' is a bit 'clunky' compared to other similar effects but because it works differently it can do things a blur based effect cannot.

Here's a couple of new ones. One with a Moorish feel the other Egyptian, I think. http://i.imgur.com/eUVmyEw.png http://i.imgur.com/AcIF8oZ.png

Looks good! Cool leather texture as background too, thanks for posting the image Dipstick... still sounds wrong calling you that!

Is this the same issue as this? http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/107529-image-corruption-when-moving-it-on-canvas/ & gardenphotog, if you read forum rule 8 you may find a useful link.

You're setting a high standard! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks & thanks for the codelab code too!

I don't know if this plugin is relevant for you or not but may be worth a look. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/107017-soft-proofing-tools-effect/ (I haven't tried it yet and know next to nothing about colour profiles.)

http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/22810-composition-tool/ May help?

Some of the Ruler Max (int) and (fraction) combinations seem a little 'quirky' but it works fine!. (6 + 12/8ths = seven and a half). Could the "Total Length:**-****" text be optional (another checkbox)? - again not a problem, easy enough to cut if not needed. Thanks for this Toe_head, very useful. & Midora, in the U.K. we can buy cloth from the roll in metres, trouble is the looms often still make it one yard wide! Metric is official but speed limits are in m.p.h, petrol(gas) is sold in litres but beer still comes in pints (thank God!) S.I. is best for scientific calculation but feet and inches are practical for everyday measurements, centimetres are not S.I. units, millimetres are too small and metres too big. Horses are measured in 'hands' ... I always thought 'hooves' would be more apt.

Congrats on the pin Lynxster4! Great result Pixey!

Hi Physius7, welcome to the forum. By far the best way is to use tracing paper, a small paint brush, some Indian ink and a scanner. But... if you enjoy experimenting with plugins, I got some interesting results below: (note both plugins have options for a transparent background if needed).

It's raining tigers! (like "cats & dogs", but more so)

I agree! (doubt I'll understand the code - but that's my problem )

No problem

No! Once you have created one bigger Pdn file you then import each image into that file but on a new layer. The way to do this is by clicking the 'Layers' button at the top, then clicking ' Import from File' that appears in the drop-down list. Hope that helps!... it's much easier than it sounds.

Hi sabuncu - welcome to the forum! I think you may be confusing a layer being selected (highlighted light blue and editable) with its 'visibility' (checkbox or opacity slider)? Have you read the documentation about layers here? http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html

1. Perhaps 32 sub divisions is too much? Twelfths (for feet and inches) will be useful. Inches seem to be subdivided into 16ths on rulers quite commonly too. 2. Yes, imperial units can be a pain but feet and inches are still easier to visualize on a human scale for most people, I think. Personally I wouldn't bother showing the half inch marks as numbers, just a longer marker as used at the quarter inch points. 3 & 4. Sounds good. Certainly easier than photographing a real ruler with a real object to show scale. Enough problems with depth of field already! Many thanks!
