MadJik Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Generate 96 unique colors for palettes What's this? Some other effects could use palettes of colors to fill the canvas. This is why I need to create palettes in many ways to use with these colorful plugins. This effect is able to fill the canvas with 96 different colors (16 columns x 6 rows) and save as a palette file. Download it! Plugin Gen96Colors.dll Here is the DLL http://jcljay.free.fr/pdn/Gen96Colors.zip The MadJik's All plugins package is available! http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7186 How to install Close Paint.net Classic version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects (please reverse / for correct path) Microsoft Store version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects (please reverse / for correct path) You have to adapt for your language My Documents How to use it This effect replaces the canvas on the active layer. Be sure to use a new layer or a new image. Then run the effect and choose the colors from start to end and the generator mode. If you check the box “save in user’s folder of palettes”, you will find “Gen96_aaaaa_bb.txt files. aaaaa is the reseed number used and bb is the step value. Existing files are overwritten. NB: If you use linear or HSV generator mode, you have to change the reseed value to save each palette with a different name. The User interface This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Tools. Reseed When zero the effect is in random mode. Every time a control is changed a new image is calculated (also when you finally press the Ok button). Other values than zero are used to initialize the random sequence. Same value should give the same result now and later, ever… Of course, this control is not used when the generator mode is linear or HSV. NB: This value is used to name the file of palette. Starting/Ending colors Select the colors from start to end as limits of your palette. Transparency mode (None/Random/Linear) Mode None, all colors are opaque. Select random if you want transparency in the palette. Linear gives a progressive/degressive transparency. Starting/Ending Alpha Set the transparency limits. Generator mode (Random/Linear/HSV) Select the mode of color calculation. -Random -Linear (from starting to ending colors, on the RGB channels). -HSV: from starting to ending colors, using Hue/Saturation/Value conversion. Save in user’s folder of palettes When checked each rendering create (overwrite) a palette file in the standard folder. It could be a lot of files if you let the reseed slider going up 1 by 1 increment… Step size Fill the palette with a step between each color. Instead of a regular “gradient” you will have some kind of checker… The Examples: Voilà! Enjoy! Let me see what you could do with it! 4 1 Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeday Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi MadJik, I downloaded Generate 96 colors for palettes, but I can't really achiev anything with it. I must first try the translation and then discover for myself the right way of understanding and acting. lifeday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadJik Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Thanks @Ego Eram Reputo and @Seerose https://s6.postimg.cc/gd8old9dd/palettetools.png Generate palette was made to create random or ordered palettes to use with other effects like Hilbert curve... I also used it for the background space of the image (blur at max): https://s6.postimg.cc/wuw37vofl/space_City0k8.png Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
