coaster Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 There used to be a really useful effect in paint.net that I just discovered is missing in v3.35, and that's the outline effect. I don't remember exactly what it was called, but it was a single effect in its own menu tree branch and it drew a nice outline around an object of specified color, width, and softness. Why isn't it in there any more, and is it available as a plug-in? I couldn't find anything about it searching the forum, but then do you realize how many hits "outline" as a keyword gets? Thanks. And BTW, I just love the program. It's my chief graphics program. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 He probably means "Outline Object". It is part of pyrochild's plugin pack. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Ahh. Might need to update it then. Older versions had to be blocked for stability reasons. Check up on the menu item, File->View Plugin Load Errors, to see if it's being blocked.

coaster Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Sorry for taking so long to get back to this thread. I didn't know subscriptions defaulted to "off" and you know how they say time flies -- well it does whether you're having fun or not. So I understand the effect I'm looking for is part of pyrochild's plug-in now, and I should look here for that, correct? Rick -- the menu item you asked me to check doesn't exist on my version of Paint.net and I looked all over for it. Maybe it's a menu item that only shows up if you've got extra plugins beyond what comes standard? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Outline effect is part of pyrochild's plugin pack. Do you have it?
