Korona123 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I have a few large pngs that i want to cut up into 192x192 pixel boxes and save all separately. Is there anyway to do this automatically? I could crop each block but that seems like a lot of work. So basically i want to cut up a big picture into separate smaller pictures quickly, any ideas?

Korona123 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Actually I guess this would be called slicing not croping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There's no automatic way to do that with Paint.NET, sorry. It might be able to be done with a filetype plugin.

BoltBait Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Can you imagine a proper filetype plugin that outputs a zip file containing multiple png files? That would blow my mind.

Visual Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I have a few large pngs that i want to cut up into 192x192 pixel boxes and save all separately. Is there anyway to do this automatically? I could crop each block but that seems like a lot of work. So basically i want to cut up a big picture into separate smaller pictures quickly, any ideas? Maybe. Does it matter if you lose a couple of pixels between every one? You will need to do some math. You can make a new layer and render gridlines after computing what you need. Select the black grid with wand and leave it selected. On the layers panel select the layer with your image and then delete the grid outline. You will see the grid selection on top of your image if you uncheck the top layer. Depending on the width of the lines you will not lose much. Then, you can select each image with rectangle select tool. Edited October 9, 2013 by Visual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Nice thinking Visual! If you used alternating colored squares (rather than grid lines) you could eliminate the borders (think: Grid Maker Plugin with the checkerboard option. It's still going to be a long process. The steps might be... 1. Render the checkerboard on a layer above the original. Size 192x192. 2. Lower the opacity a bit. 3. Magic wand the upper left square in the checkerboard layer. 4. Switch to the image layer, press Ctrl + C then Ctrl + Alt + V to paste to a new image. 5. Switch back to checker layer 6. Select next square. 7. Repeat from 4 as many times as needed. Building on that, I wonder if the Shatters plugin could be used to displace the groups of pixels?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Not to take anything away from null54's filetype plugin, but Martin Osieka has created a similar plugin which may also appeal. It works as a tool (i.e. a regular Effect) and not as a filetype.
