BoltBait Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Thanks Scyphrex. BTW, another way to find out where Paint.NET is installed: Right-click on the Paint.NET icon (either in your start menu or on your desktop) and choose Properties from the context menu. On the properties page, click the "Find Target" button. This will open a window where Paint.NET is installed. Now, in that window, simply double-click on the Effects folder. From there, you can paste or drag your effect DLL file into that window.

Fisherman's Friend Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 BoltBait, have you seen my request above? I think the idea is not that stupid. At least I would be glad to see Halo in "Blurs" (or if the code would be made public). Halo is a nice effect but not well-known I think... I will not spam again ("double-request", I mean).

kipper010 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Great plugin! It works really good! It's a lot better than lassoing a part of an image and gaussian blurring it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVoid Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Very useful. I seem to use it one every project one way or another. Quote [My DeviantART] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValGal Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 OK, did I just miss something? I'm DESPERATE to add this "feather" to my PDN. Does it just add the feature to the program? And every time I open PDN the feather feature should be there? Can anyone give me a step by step way to add this feature? I'm not too good with computers so sorry about that. I keep trying to add it and open it with PDN but then it takes me to PDN and it says something like "image type cannot be recognized". And yes, I know it's not an image. Anyway, can someone PLEASE help me? It seems a lot easier to use the feather feature than to the lasso tool w/ the gossian blur.

david.atwell Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 AHA! There it is. I was looking on BoltBait.com for that page...and wondering why I couldn't find it. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

ValGal Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 OK, I FINALLY managed to download the feather feature. The reason I was having so much trouble is because I was using Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer. But now I'm having another problem... I looked at the instruction page here: http://boltbait.googlepages.com/feather I followed all the directions, but nothing happened to my cut image. See the image below? And before you ask, these are NOT the images I intend to use this effect for, this is just an EXAMPLE. I took two random images and threw them together. So, you see the cat? That's an image I copied and pasted into the other image. How do I make the edges (the outside) of that image of the cat look blurred with the Feather? Maybe I just misunderstood the directions, but does anyone think there's a step I may have missed? I tried it several times. Does anyone have more specific directions maybe? For someone who's not so good at computers?

Andrew D Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 You need to have the cat on a transparent layer, not just on the same layer as the background image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValGal Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 OK, I'll give it another shot. Thanks.

BoltBait Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have rewritten this effect from scratch. The effect now shows up in the Effects > Object submenu. It now includes a third slider to control the strength of the effect: Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks, everyone. BTW, I really did rewrite this from scratch. The old render loop was 335 lines long and the new one is 50 lines. It is so nice and clean, I might actually publish the source... eventually.

Tanel Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have rewritten this effect from scratch. The effect now shows up in the Effects > Object submenu.It now includes a third slider to control the strength of the effect: Suggestion: please rename the Amount control to "Radius" or "Width" to be more intuitive. I think words Amount and Strength have too similar meaning and this is confusing for occasional users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew D Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 One thing I've noticed, if there any semi transparent pixels, they will be ignored by the plugin and it will create something pretty ugly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
