-M4- Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) I'm trying to remove some objects using the Median Stack Mode way but Paint.NET doesn't have this filter. Anybody know how to do it? Edited February 27, 2018 by -M4- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pratyush Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 This feature is not present in paint.net. I don't think any plugin will be able to do this because plugins only work for single layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-M4- Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 I know, that's why I'm asking how to do it. About the one where plug-ins only work on one layer, are you sure about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pratyush Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 You can try that manually, try difference blending mode to align two layer, if the resultant is black then it is properly aligned. change the blending more to normal use eraser to remove things for upper layer & flatten. Try with all layers. that's all I can suggest. And yes, under current architecture of paint.net any effect works only on selected layer.

-M4- Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thanks, I'll try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely true that plugins can only modify or even "see" the active layer. There's no way for plugins to access the data on any other layer. Plugins can also use the clipboard, but that wouldn't help for a median plugin, which needs at least three simultaneous images. A plugin could be written to do the median from file images (as the example shown appears to do). I don't think a file-based version seems useful enough to be worth the considerable effort it would take to write, but maybe someone else might.

But if several photos are placed in the same image then a plugin could have access to them but it would have to be a very large image to have good quality. I am not a programmer so It may not be true what I just wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugins only get to access the active layer.

MJW Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I believe what Eli means is that the photos would all be in the same layer, arranged in an array. That would certainly be possible, but as Eli suggests, somewhat inconvenient and impractical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I remember that TechnoRobbo did it using sprites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yes, I've used TechnoRobbo's random-fill plugin that does that. For the small-sized sprites that approach works very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
