hoodleehoo Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Where is the feather plugin? Once I updated paint.net it's gone. Is there an updated version of the effect? A TRUE feather effect, not just a blur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 The feather plugin is part of BoltBait's plugin pack, available in the Plugins section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sozo Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 You beat me to it MR, I was going to edit the link in once I found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodleehoo Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Thanks. I thought I read that it basically just used a version of blur to it instead of a gradual fading to transparency? Is it really an actual feather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yes, it really does feather. Now, by nature, the feather effect is somewhat similar to blurring, but don't let that confuse you. I've always been satisfied with BoltBait's plugin's results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I thought I read that it basically just used a version of blur to it instead of a gradual fading to transparency? Is it really an actual feather? I have written 4 different versions of feather. The first one, called Object Feather, used a blur to make the hard edges of cutouts blured slightly in order to simulate an anti-alias effect. While it was nice for its time, it does produce less than perfect results. The second, called Object Feather - True Feather, made the hard edges of cutouts slightly transparent. This was better and well liked by the users here. The third, called Selection Feather, makes the hard edges of your current selection slightly transparent. This is how most other programs feather stuff. This is by far the most accurate of my plugins. The fourth, called Object Feather 3.0, is a mixture of the first and second. The results are far superior to Object Feather and True Feather. It basically uses both techniques blended together. This last one is going to replace my Object Feather plugin. You can download it now, if you want, at http://www.spreadpaint.net exclusively until I update my plugin pack early next week. I hope this explanation helps.
