Amazing! Adjustments > Gradient Mapping Use this plugin to create a custom gradient and map it to your image based on any supported input channel. One of the primary uses of this plugin is to create a multi-colored gradient. Just use Paint.NET's built-in gradient tools to draw the gradient shape you want, then use this plugin to create your desired gradient.

MiguelPereira 2 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 Omg Pyro is making PdN really funky this is very good the actual manipulation of gradient colors. ehehehehehe i've been playing around and made some. ps: (sorry for the quoting Stephan) Gradients.rar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

natjo1986 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 It kept crashing on me the first time I tried it. So I decided to reinstall it. Second time around I noticed that there was two dll's. Once I installed both of them it worked perfectly. I could be totally wrong though with what I'm swinging at. For all I know you are having troubles getting a gradient made.

Helio 2 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 What is the 'pyrochild.effects.common.dll'? Anyway, I really like how this works! And I think it is great that you are including a Save and Load option with your latest plugins! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

david.atwell 289 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 What is the 'pyrochild.effects.common.dll'?Anyway, I really like how this works! And I think it is great that you are including a Save and Load option with your latest plugins! The "common" dll is something he plans to use to make coding his upcoming plugins faster. Unless I'm wrong, it contains the code for things such as the save, load, UI, etc. Where's the strikethrough when you need it? I was wrong. Pyro explains below. (made hard to read on purpose) I can't realy figure out how it works... :?could someone help? First of all, take a look at the Source drop-down. When you select that, you're choosing which channel to pull the mapping data onto: each pixel has varying levels of Red, Cyan, Luminosity, etc. It takes that value from each pixel and "maps" it across the gradient you create at the top so that a pixel with more Luminosity in it, for example, will get more of the color you've chosen on the far right. That's what I understand, at least. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I was right, I was right! Do a little dance...make a little noise...get down tonight... :-) :-) It wont show on my list... Did you look in the Adjustments menu? That's where it is, not in Effects. :-) Other than that, make sure you've installed both .DLLs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless I'm wrong, it contains the code for things such as the save, load, UI, etc. Nope, the common.dll contains the Gradient control that I wrote, as well as the associated gradient object that the control pulls the information from. It also contains a Color object that I wrote to more easily and efficiently load each channel of data from a pixel. I plan on using that last one whenever I get around to working on the next version of Curves+. It will clean up the code immensely. I can't realy figure out how it works... :?could someone help?

Crazy Man Dan 18 Report post Posted October 7, 2007 Pyro, you are an amazing little train. Awesome plugin. I love the custom gradient bar. I hope one day to see something pretty much identical tied to Paint.NET's Gradient tool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyrochild 344 Report post Posted October 7, 2007 Awesome plugin. I love the custom gradient bar. I hope one day to see something pretty much identical tied to Paint.NET's Gradient tool. Actually, because of the way I wrote that gradient control, it would be ridiculously easy to do exactly that. Hint hint, Rick... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Man Dan 18 Report post Posted October 7, 2007 Well, we'd need that, then the ability for the gradient tool to output the gradient shown, and a mechanism to save different gradients once they're created to make a pre-saved gradient palette... :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
