Red ochre

Hi Maximilian - Coding is addictive! @Seerose, thanks for saying thanks!

Update for 'MultiSpline' on page 1. I've decided to add an 'indent' slider to multispline. This allows the 'net' shapes produced to go right to the edges of the selection, or be smaller than the selection like this: Note:The spiral was produced with the new version of 'Gradients Galore' that I hope to publish soon.

slightly off topic: Thanks BoltBait - may have to play with that code! There is already a plugin with a similar name for removing stray pixels on a transparent background.http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=26533 if you're not set on that name! I think any effect will need some manual 'tampering' to select what is relevant and what is noise?

Don't worry Maximilian! "You can't please all the people all the time". To me there seems no rhyme or reason as to why some comps are more popular than others - could just be holiday/vacation season? My apologies for not competing this time around.

The third one (with the fractal pattern) is stunning!

Interesting article but artificial intelligence in a plugin??? I have enough problems with the natural variety!

You may be better off using a program like Krita https://krita.org/ for brushes or (possibly) Inkscape https://inkscape.org/en/ for vector work . Both free.

http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=27937 Try 'custom brushes mini' - link above. You can then make a brush with 2 different coloured circles on transparent background.

CC4 - That just looks like photographing polarised light? Try putting polaroid sunglasses in front of the camera (and twisting them)? words = good Pictures = 1000 * better. Photo = anything to do with light? Elasticity??? most things we consider 'elastic' do not obey Hook's law - or was it the crocodile? Is 'Elastic' an elastomer? - Young's modulus and all that! - then there's the Shore A and B! The point I'm trying to make is that a well explained question is more likely to get a well explained reply. - Do I sound too grumpy? Pictures, links and a full explaination do help, both for techniques or possible plugins. I do sound grumpy! SvSlazer18 - welcome to the forum! - Imagine you are the person reading the initial post? - it's a bit cryptic! (no wish to offend anyone, please)

Standard Quantum Pixel Torque ?

You did the right thing reporting it. It can be frustrating when it oddly just sticks on 8.03. I normally create my own bugs ... hope MS don't sue me for copyright infringement!

Hi Eli, Yes, I noticed that 'bug' a long while back - and eventually reported it. (Actually, I think I just mentioned it to TR who reported it to Boltbait, who posted about it here http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/31387-indirect-ui-double-slider-up-arrow-issue/ ) It just seems to happen with that type of slider. I blame Microsoft... why not! Thanks for reporting it anyway.

Seerose, Maximilian & TechnoRobbo Thanks for taking a look and leaving positive feedback - very much appreciated!

I get it now - for some reasom I didn't think of looking it up on Msdn. Anyway I've now found a way of keeping the standard double slider and just manipulating the decimal part, which works! But thanks again for the useful replies.

Thanks both! (still out of 'reps')

Thanks that explains it (partially). UpDownIncrement changes the ^v increment ... so small change does?... I thought maybe the mouse wheel, but thought that was set in control panel? Anyway - Many thanks for the info, they are not what I thought they were, so will not worry! IOU+1 done

Sorry, I'm still not 'getting it'. As far as I can see the 'UpDownIncrement' completely controls what the arrows do. What parameters do 'SliderLargeChange' & 'SliderSmallChange' affect then? Just curious ... I'll try to find another way. It doesn't materially affect the effect but may make it easier for the user.

I have created a double slider "props.Add(new DoubleProperty(PropertyNames.ExpCont, 0, -1, 1));" in OncreatePropertyCollection() I am now trying to adjust the SliderLargeChange and SliderSmallChange in OnCreateConfigUI. " configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.ExpCont, ControlInfoPropertyNames.SliderLargeChange, 0.1); configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(PropertyNames.ExpCont, ControlInfoPropertyNames.SliderSmallChange, 0.1);" The UpDownIncrement works as expected - but I'm happy with the default of 0.01. Changing the values for SliderLarge/SmallChange doesn't appear to make any difference to the way the slider behaves? Hopefully I would like the double slider to behave almost like an int slider but at increments of 0.1 (from -1 to 1) with the user being able to select finer adjustment (0.01) via the up/down arrows. Is this possible? Setting both SliderLargeChange and SliderSmallChange to 0.1 does not work. Neither does setting them to 10.0 (thinking it may be a percentage). Have I completely misunderstood what these values are for? (very likely!). Any ideas? (I'm improving my GradientsGalore plugin and using VSExpress2010 and targeting 3.5.NET)

Good work Seerose!

Size in mm, cm or inches is misleading - the computer 'thinks' in pixels, size depends upon what resolution you print or display at. This tutorial is useful. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/17049-dpi-and-you-understanding-resolution-for-print-and-web/

If you are making animations would this be useful? http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=31670 Layers into a sprite sheet (I know very little about animation).

Change the anti-aliasing to - the Forum Icons are broken! - the icon I'm selecting doesn't match the icon in the post?

... Far from it! My coding is very 'basic' - Psychocolour just messes around with the R,G,B values using the slider value and the images tone. ( I think the prototype code is still on Dev central ...somewhere?) If it wasn't for codelab and the help from the experienced programmers here, I wouldn't have a clue! I now mostly use Visual Studio for writing plugins as it gives more flexibility, but still often start them off using codelab. I would have quickly given up on VS without E.E.R's help and many thanks also to; Rick Brewster, BoltBait, Null54, TechnoRobbo, Midora and the many others which have left example code on the forum. I'm pleased and flattered that you find my plugins useful though!
