@BillWoo This can be done 2 ways easily:

 

If you want to "stroke" the selection outline (marching ants) do it this way:

1. Start by calculating the width of all strokes you wish to add.  In your example above, it might be 27 (5 px per color, and 2 for the black line)
2. Starting with the innermost color, stroke (Effects > Selection > Outline Selection) the innermost color with a width of 27. Click OK.
3. Working outwards, stroke each color with a width of the previous stroke minus the width of the current color (5px), so 22 for the second color. Click OK.
4. Finish by feathering the selection.

If you want to "stroke" an object (pixels surrounded by transparent pixels) do it this way:

1. Press Ctrl+D to clear out any selection you might have.
2. Start with the innermost color and stroke (Effects > Object > Outline Object) the innermost color with the width of that color, so 5. Click OK.
3. Working outwards, stroke each color with the desired width. Click OK

 

 

Thanks for yout response !  The process you describe is what I did to produce the graphic you see in the picture

 

What interests me is to;

 

1) find a way to keep your filter's window open while performing multiple strokes.

 

2) in the long run, assuming I attain competency in creating a plug-in, and can evaluate the feasibility of the idea, I'd like to run some kind of batch multi-stroke operation based on parameters I supply. I am an accomplished C# programmer.

 

It may interest/amuse you to know I was one of the authors of Cricket Draw 1,1, and later, at Adobe, one of the authors of Illustrator 3.2, and 5.0, as well as one of a team of four who created the prototype for what became Acrobat. My specialty was PostScript.

 

That was a long time ago, and, now, I'm just another old bum, retired, happily, in Thailand who designs rings as a kind of hobby=business, and who mentors other programmers on CodeProject 

 

cheers, Bill

It's just amazing what you can do with coding!

I feel the same way. I wish someone would help me port DataJuggler.PixelDatabase to a Paint.Net plug-in. 

 

All I need is a text box and a button.

 

Any volunteers?

 

Everything you can do here and more

Nuget: DataJuggler.PixelDatabase for (latest release is for .NET6)

 

Here is a gray scale example that I think is cool:

 

Turn the red car to white (files attached)

 

Update
Set Grayscale Red
Where
RedMaxDiff > 0
Y > 761

 

 

Would this make a good plugin?

That effect can be easily done with 2 plugins in my plugin pack:

 

Start by duplicating the layer, so you have 2 copies.

Next, run Adjustments > Black and White+ and choose the "Lightness Method" on the bottom layer.

Finally, run Adjustments > Hue/Saturation+ on the top layer giving the entries shown above.

Cerco da giorni di installare il tuo plugins, ma non ci riesco.😪

[Pixey]

Please speak in English @LeoTurot

 

Do you have the Classic (free version) or the Store bought version of Paint.net?  What is happening when you try to download?

I've been trying to install your plugins for days, but I can't.😪

 

I can't quite see your screen from here... could you post a picture of any error messages you're receiving... or at least describe what happens to make you think it's not working.

I just tried to download the plugin pack and McAfee told me it had viruses. Any idea what's wrong? I've downloaded this in the past withotu incident.

There’s your problem, right there. 
 

Uninstall that worthless garbage and you’ll be able to enjoy life again.

Great work, I like it very much.

I would like to donate, how can I do it, and how much would be adequate?

If PayPal doesn’t work for you, just give me a thumbs up on one of my posts.
