janbo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 A few small resuests for paint.net.... 1. A conveninet 'replace colour' with colour picker just like photofiltre 2. A gradient recolour tool again like photofiltre's which works once an area is selected. 3. More shapes for when making a selection in an area such as triangle, pentagon, octagon and custom shapes that can be saved too. 4. The support of X1, Y1, X2, Y2 coordinates of the canvas image when making a selection in an area Everything else, absolutely everything else about Paint.NET is fantastic and just to my needs exept for the four above. Please developer team, sympathesize with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 There are already 2 gradient plugins that are far more powerful than what that appears to be.

PyroTechniques Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Also, the Recolor tool can do what you seem to want your "color replace" tool to do. I take it you want to replace a specific color through the entire image? Just set the color to be replaced as your secondary color and the color you want to replace it with as your primary color, set your Recolor brush size really high (like 400 pixels), set your tolerance, and go at it.

janbo Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks guys I will look out for those two gradient plugins when next making a skin. And I will try the recol tool although I could not get it to work before however I think I was not using it correctly. What about suggestion 3 & 4 ..... what about these??

Curmudgeon Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 For #3, you're pretty much on your own to make the custom shapes. With the selection tools, it's pretty easy to make basic geometric shapes however. This link helps explain the different selection tools, including "Intersect" and "Inversion". For #4, you're able to make custom size selections using the regular selection tools in "Fixed Size" mode, so you can specify a certain size. You can see the coordinates on the lower right of your screen as you move around and use the up/down & left/right cursors for improved accuracy. After making a selection, you're able to move the selection around on your screen using the If you set a Fixed Size selection, and click (and hold the left mouse button) on the screen, and move your mouse around, it shows the top left coordinate (your x1,y1) coordinate so you can easily position your selection. So, I'm wondering what else you expect from your selection tool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janbo Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 #3 - So how do you make custom shapes (triangle, rectangle, octagons) for the selection tool to be able to save them for use in the 'tools' window?? #4 - Yes I know x1,y1 is there in Paint.NET as fine. But waht about x2,y2 ??? Take a look at this image I snapped of doing a selection in Paint.NET against PhotoFiltre (click on it) Can you see the other two numbers in PhotoFiltre as "34, 362" where are these in Paint.NET as these are crucial for my application skin making, I'm trying to bin PF in exhcnage for the more powerful Paint.NET Please help me into whether this already exists on PDN or if it could be added as an optional show for next/future version? Please forgive my haste :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 #3 - So how do you make custom shapes (triangle, rectangle, octagons) for the selection tool to be able to save them for use in the 'tools' window?? You can't. And no, that can't be achieved with a plugin either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janbo Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 OK the selection shapes thingy is not possible. What about a fix on suggestion #4 - I know this is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Here's a simple quick-fix: drag the top-left corner to a lower and further-right position, not the coordinates and press ctrl-Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janbo Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hi again Simon, What is this quick fix supposed to do, can you provide me a screenshot. I tried but I could not.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janbo Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Simon , I looked at your uploaded image tutorial and have followed your instructions but I have to say this does not seem practical for when making skins and can create a lot of unwatsted time. Take a look at these image I further snapped: PhotoFiltre - displaying all four codes (10,10 103,78) http://i39.tinypic.com/21didua.png Paint.NET with the first x1,y1 code (of 10,10) http://i40.tinypic.com/4tuky0.png Paint.NET with the attempted x2,y2 code (of 103,78) http://i41.tinypic.com/10wi7ly.png ..with moving the selection to bottom left as exact as you mentioned Although your quick fix may just do the trick for now, it does not seem time efficient to the least extent. I still have to thank you for taking your time to come with a current work around for this. I still propose if Paint.NET can add the display of the other two coordiantes - if possible as a menu option to enable/disable - this way this option would not interfere with the default coordinate display that the developer has for desire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
