Zevel Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I feature that I really miss in Paint.net is the ability to "smart erase" (also known as "content-aware fill" or "heal"). Can anyone please make a plugin based on the GIMP plugin source code at https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer ? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Poly Goblinoli Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Do you know about clone stamp? Hold Control and left-click to set where pixels are copied from, then draw with it to copy those pixels. It will serve the same purpose as heal. Select it as your tool or use L to set the tool to clone stamp. Edited April 6, 2018 by Joshua Lamusga 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 ^^ You can reduce the opacity of the Primary color and the Hardness of the Clone stamp. These two options give a much softer cloned area.

Zevel Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yes, I know about clone stamp. It takes me 20 times as long to get a result one tenth as good as I can with resynthesizer or equivalent tools. For example, using https://www.photopea.com/ I went from to in 20 seconds. I'd like to have this power in Paint.NET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 No more than 2 minutes with the clone stamp.

Zevel Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 I am not arguing that this is not possible with clone stamp, just that a "smart" tool makes it much easier and more convenient. While it is possible to paint a house with an artist's brush, and I have no doubts that some people can even do a better job with it than I can with more suitable tools, it doesn't mean that it is the best tool for the job. It currently takes me more time and effort to achieve inferior results using the existing tools in paint.net, and I am sure that I am not the only one that will benefit from that functionality. There other other threads in which plugin authors are lauded for providing better, simpler, faster or more convenient ways to achieve results that were possible before. Why is this different?

Rick Brewster Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I dunno, seems like a cool idea to me. I think they were just pointing out that it's still possible to achieve that specific result.

There is a plugin that does something very close but imperfectly - Selection Obscurer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
