ReMake Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 This effect is based on the Average Edge Blur plugin by Cookies. You can find it in Effects -> Blurs -> Edge Blur RGB. < EdgeBlur.zip deleted> See Averaged Color Blur Average Edge Blur effect allows to blur red, or green, or blue channel together with alpha channel or without it. Edge Blur RGB effect has three additional mode for blur the channels. I would like to know as far as this effect can be interesting and useful? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 You've made the UI easy to understand. Very intuitive. I like that. I think this is a useful update of AvgEB. In my simplistic test, the differences between the two are imperceptible. Calling it Edge Blur RGB is a little confusing. It's really Edge Blur RGBA, in which case can't you simply call it Edge Blur? I'm not sure I agree with placing it in Effects > Noise. It took me some time to find it (thanks Plugin Browser ). Why not Effects > Blurs? 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably you mean your Gaussian Blur+ effect. The difference between these two effects consists in the used algorithms. Visually, the difference between effects work can be seen in the images below. BTW, the interface of your effect has prompted me some ideas to improvement of my effect. Thanks for reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMake Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 The effect is renamed into Edge Blur. Added blending modes - it's allowed to vary the results of the work of effect. (A good idea from BoltBait's Gaussian Blur+.) Upload file from the first post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMake Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Two new blending modes was added (Exclusion and Hard Mix): Upload file from the first post. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMake Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Fixed alpha-channel error for the new blending modes. New blending mode was added (it was very difficult to find the correct formula for this mode so that it exactly matches Photoshop's Vivid Light mode): Upload file from the first post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMake Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Unfortunately, paint.net was crashed with previous algorithm of Vivid Light when used alpha-channel. I replaced it with another algorithm, which does not lead to a crash. Two new blending modes was added (Linear Burn and Linear Light): Upload file from the first post.

BoltBait Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 All of your example images show a candle's flame. Why not use one of those as your icon? 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 By the way, Thanks for this effect @ReMake I have discovered new "blend modes". I wonder why they are not integrated to the "layers". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves me correctly, Rick once explained that adding new blend modes would break the .pdn file structure. He would prefer never to do that.

Rick Brewster Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It wouldn't break the PDN structure but older versions of the app wouldn't know what to do with it. It's just a big unknown right now.

Rick Brewster Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Actually, newer versions of Paint.NET, since 4.0, will handle an "unknown" blend mode just fine and revert the layer to Normal. I'm not sure how 3.5.x would handle it, but oh well. Can't always maintain forward compatibility.

lynxster4 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Thank you @ReMake for adding the extra blending modes! Would love to see these integrated into PDN but, after reading the above posts, I guess that's not going to happen...
