jerkfight Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 So instead of using lets say magic wand then gradient all we had to use was the gradient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike 121 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 that may be something rick has to do, but i like the idea it just doesnt seem fit to be plugin... Quote "No. Dreaming is illegal."~Pyrochild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkfight Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 True because if it were a plugin you couldnt select where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerkfight Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Well you know how te Magic wand has a tolerance level I was requesting if that could be included with a gradient tool, or effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Instead of making all the plugins unnecessarily complex, why not just use the magic wand before using the effect?

jerkfight Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 I know I could but I'm suggusting that it may be benifital to the users of Paint.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 To me, it would just be making the UI too complicated. Not to mention the fact that coding something like that is not easy.

Crazy Man Dan Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I really don't see the benefit in breaking the status quo in this case. The currently accepted "right way" everyone (Read: PhotoShop, Paint Shop Pro, GIMP, Paint.NET, ArtWeaver, et cetera) uses is that gradients overwrite everything on that layer. I can see being different when it makes something better, but I don't see how this would make use of the tool easier / more efficient. It would simply mean one more tool for which one mush re-set the tolerance. One feature I love in those "other" programs that I wish Rick agreed with me on is the usefulness of having separate Tolerance settings for each tool that uses Tolerance. I justify this request because I use variable Tolerance when I'm using the Magic Wand, but when I'm using the Paint Bucket, I want it to fill everything I have selected, so I always have the Paint Bucket at full Tolerance, and it gets exceedingly frustrating having to change back and forth alls the time. If Rick were to implement individual tolerance sliders for tools, then I guess I wouldn't mind this feature, but I'd end up keeping Gradient Tolerance at 100% all the time anyway. I can of course see Rick's point in that having only one Tolerance slider is far less potentially confusing, so I'm not going to push.

Crazy Man Dan Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Not if I want to use the background color. :wink: The GIMP has a neat little function in that, if you hold [shift] while using a Tolerance-dependent tool, it overrides the current tolerance setting and fills / selects as if Tolerance were set at 100. I wouldn't mind seeing something such as this...

david.atwell Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 CMD - But I really like being able to shift+select with the magic wand and select everything within that color tolerance. How does the GIMP get around that? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

Crazy Man Dan Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'm sorry, I was incorrect... The Magic Wand does not have this feature. I guess it wouldn't do much good anyway, seeing as Magic Wand with max Tolerance would just be like [Ctrl]+[A]. As far as selecting discontiguous areas of a color, The GIMP has a separate tool for it. Magic Wand in The GIMP is only for contiguous color ranges.

david.atwell Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 So darned confusing, that GIMP...I like my magic wand, thank you. Expecto Patronum and all that. I'm seeing another problem with that idea, though. As the topic originally states, it's for the gradient tool; if that were to be implemented, how would we be able to lock in the gradient's angle to a multiple of 45 degrees?

Crazy Man Dan Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 That idea was mainly for the Paint Bucket. However, it still couldn't be [shift], since that fills all areas of one color similar to how the Magic Wand selects. [Ctrl] is still open, though...
