No, Paint.NET is a stand alone application. You can save your picture you have done in Luminar and add a text, using the Text Tool, or whatever you desire in Paint.NET.

I am still waiting for the ability to use the plug-in for masking.

Far out.

Hello, I remembered a tutorial written by Rick Brewster, and after hunting around in the Tutorials subforums, I found the tutorial. It gives you the basic idea of manipulating the image by using gradient transparency blending. https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/12184-fading-blending-gradient-tool-on-a-camaro-picture/

You have an awesome design for guitars! My favorite one is Rock-ette. It looks futuristic which just strikes a chord with me.

Never thought about it that way. I was thinking The Matrix type, but I can see where you would see Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid. Thank you! Thank you! Appreciate it, and the coffee. Here's a bit of an jewel abstract artwork laying on the laptop.

Thank you very much for the update. I just downloaded, installed, and tested it. I am finally able to move the plug-in to the extended monitor, which was something I couldn't do with the previous version.

Thank you! Is that a confession? NEW image on page 1. Enjoy.

Your abstract blows me away. Reminds me very much of Oma (I hope she is doing well, by the way).

I love science-fiction scene. I like your execution of concept. Love, love the ring around the planet. If you don't mind a bit of some critique - I think the planet's texture could use a bit more "depth" to it even though it's a gas planet, and something about the reflection of the person on the floor seem...off.

Just created a poster-style in PDN on page 1. Enjoy!

Thought I would try my hand at creating a sig.

Appreciate the update. I run PDN on Windows 10 laptop with AMD processor. In the previous version, clicking on any of the menu was cumbersome for the laptop to process, and if I am reading the inital post correct, this update fixed the issue. It's a "snap" to open the menu at a click. Thank you, Rick.

Just tried a double exposure manipulation. I think I got the idea, but whew, is it a challenge!

I saw your comment in the Brush Factory thread. What I have been doing is making a total of four layer - the original picture to have its edge "erased", a duplicate of the original image and liquidized, a white with black paint "splatter" layer, and a black with white "splatter layer." The ability to copy the images and paste it in the Brush Factory's canvas is a huge benefit. I can access the converted ABR brush from Brush Factory, paint on the edge to "erase", and then bucket fill that layer with white, copy that layer, go to the original image layer, and run alpha mask plug in. It's a lot of work, but worth the effort. The Brush Factory, in my honest opinion, is what Simon Brown's CustomBrushMini should have been.

Simon Brown once created a plug in called AlphaMask Brush, which is no longer supported by him. Having downloaded it and gave it a whirl, I feel that plug-in has a great deal of potential, but the lack of access to custom brush cripples its potential. The arrival of the Brush Factory gave me reason to believe it is possible to create a plug in where a user, having access to custom brush generated from Photoshop's ABR file, can create special effect like . The only way I have been able to create this is using Brush Factory and alpha masking. Would this be doable? I think having a layer mask brush plug-in would unleash PDN's potential.

Just created "Hello" photomanipulation.

@Eli Nicely done. I think you got what I did. I forgot to mention I used alpha mask a lot!

Another example of PDN doing what Photoshop and Gimp can do with the latest addition of the Brush Factory plug-in along with abrViewer converting Photoshop brushes into usable PNG files for PDN. The 2nd picture with the lovely lady is found in my gallery as well. The bird is a stock image.

Created a dispersion effect in PDN. Brush factory plug-in was used to paint the dispersion brush and then alpha masked. It took several effort to make it work, duplication of layers, and so on.

" Have you got any monitor managers installed?" I am using a HDMI connection. Like I said earlier, I can use pyrochild's plug-in within the extended monitor and pretty much every other plug-ins. TechnoRobb's Dodge and Burn plug-in also stays stuck in the main monitor and not move to the extended monitor.

I'm afraid it didn't work. I have PDN in the extended monitor, but the plug in window stays on the main monitor. I think I had the same problem with TR's Dodge and Burn plugin.

Great plug-in. This is what I had been hoping for. However, I have an interesting problem that I need to bring to your attention. I am using a HP laptop with a HDMI, extended monitor. I have PDN on the extended monitor, but the plug-in window only stays on the laptop's monitor. When I use, pyrochild's smudge plugin, it opens in the extended monitor. Trying to move the brush factory window to the extended monitor isn't working.

Thank you, lynxster4. Made a thing in PDN. 100% PDN.

Hello.
