MadJik' all plugins (last updated: 2018-04-07)

[ARVN ZEUS 0]

Hello, I'm new to this forum and have read the rules, and I think I'm posting this in the right forum. I've downloaded and enjoyed your plug-ins - especially the frames plug-in. I do seem to notice while I was adding frames to several of my photos that the first many photos I was able to get a beveled edge effect. All of a sudden the the beveled edges are gone even though the frames still work, I kind 'a like the bevel edges too. Don't know if it's a bug or not but have you seen this?

This is the beveled edge

This is the unbeveled edge

I have windows vista, using the latest version of paint.net. I am using all the same settings with all photos - after using some color adjustments, I created a new top layer and added the frame effect. No other plug-ins.

Hello, I'm new to this forum ... the beveled edges are gone ... I am using all the same settings with all photos - (except) after using some color adjustments ...

Welcome to the forum!

The bevel illusion is possible if the primary color and the secondary color are not equals...

Thank you, that totally makes sense. I like both types of frames, but I needed to keep all of them the same for this project. I'll go and correct. I love paint.net by the way, it's been really fun.

hello. i have a couple of suggestions for your Kaleidoscope your picture plugin.

could you add a couple sliders for selected piece vertical and horizontal movement? like in your Panelling Effect Plugin, so you can move the selected piece by small increments.

i like to make animated kaleidoscopes, and it would be much easier than using 2 plugins.

also i would like to suggest adding another mirror type, that would make the image match in all corners, like the attached image below.

sorry i dont know what you call this mirror type. i made the image with an effect i had in paint shop pro 7, if that helps any.

edit: sorry, guess i cant post animated gifs. you can see the image here tho. its my deviantart icon, a mini blue animated kaleidoscope.

edit: and if you dont want to go to deviantart, my new avatar was made with this plugin. the corners all match, like the mirror i suggested adding to your plugin would do, altho i had to copy the layer and flip it and merge them etc. a new mirror would save a lot of extra steps.

Hi MadJik, I've tried to go to your "Frames" plugin page, but end up at a 404. Is there anywhere else that I can get a reliable and safe download for this?

Thanks, Klickit.

....actually, I've tried to install a few plugins now, not just Madjik's and I always get a 404. Am I missing something or is the link broken?

[Sarkut 7]

Klickit,

Go to the first post of this topic and click the link that says:

"Here is the ZIP Pack of DLLs"

It is a working link.

Copy/paste the Frame.dll to your Effects folder.

===============================================

Many links are still broken after the recent forum move.

Many thanks, Sarcut. And many thanks to Madjik too, for providing a non-geek installation that went like a dream. :)

I'm testing Paint.Net in the hopes that my technologically challenged sis-in-law will be able to use it easily, but I think I might keep it for myself, too! I'm really impressed with it so far.

Since updating to 3.5.5 I have found that the LightRays plug in UI does not display properly and also when I use it I am left with white lines across the image as shown below -

And the UI -

Just wondering if you had any idea why this could be happening.

[csm725 8]

Works fine for me. (Win7 Home Prem x64)

[Goonfella 217]

Same OS for me too. Maybe if I reinstalled the plug in?

[csm725 8]

I guess so. 

[Goonfella 217]

Tried that. Still the same.

[Simon Brown 41]

The titlebars in your screenshot look larger than normal, so i'm guessing it's because of your appearance settings. Assuming you're using Windows 7, save your current theme (right-click on it and select save) and see if selecting the default theme fixes it.

[Goonfella 217]

Tried that as well. It`s still the same with the default theme.

[Sarkut 7]

Try running PdnRepair:

Program Files/Paint.NET/PdnRepair.exe

Then reboot your PC.

Might help.

[Goonfella 217]

I can`t find that anywhere. I`ve looked where you suggested and also the program list on the start menu as well just to make sure. Nowhere to be found.

[Sarkut 7]

Windows 7 probably has a special place for it to hide.

Probably doing a Windows Search would turn it up.

[Goonfella 217]

Nowhere special. I`ve found it. Just not looking hard enough. Sorry.

I`ll give it a go and see what happens.

Just to clarify, which one do I use? I have a PdnRepair,

PdnRepair.exe.config

and PdnRepair.pdb.

Edited May 2, 2010 by Goonfella

[Sarkut 7]

The first one.

[Goonfella 217]

The first one.

OK Thanks.

Nope - still no luck. Maybe it just needs updating for 3.5.5 .

[MadJik 963]

I'm aware of this problem but I can't find a solution to solve it (yet).

Press Ctrl+F to run again the effect it will fill the gaps...

[Goonfella 217]

OK thanks MadJik. I`ll do that.

Major update by EdHarvey. Next: major update by MadJik? Would be a dream come true.
