YARDofSTUF Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 No I didn't. I fixed it. Just use Selection > Feather if you want the same effect as old true feather. I like the newer feather most of the time, but there are times when the true feather would be nice to have still. Feather Selection doesn't replace true feather well, its not strong enough. But overall thanks for the feather plugin, its been so helpful to me for ages now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Sorry if this has already been reported - I scanned the thread quickly but might have missed it. Anyway, outline selection seems to have a slight bug: when you apply it without anti-alias it leaves out part of the outline. Example - both done on a round selection with a thickness of 7: Other than that, I have to say these plugins are among the most useful. I couldn't live without bevel selection... thanks for making all these cool plugins. This has been fixed in the plugin pack dated July 15, 2010. See first post for the zip file. Thanks for the bug report! Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethedope Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Is there anywhere to get the old feather plugin? This one doesn't work at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Define "doesn't work at all," and someone may be able to help you. And no, you can't get the old one.

davethedope Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 tried it. Just tried it again. Terrible. That was the best too. If someone out there has it, please pass it on to me. I'm glad I checked this out. I think I am going to have to stop using paintnet now. Which is odd because, you wouldn't think one little insignificant thing like that would make a difference. Maybe I can find another way. Wow, this is lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethedope Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Nevermind I guess, AA's assistant will do the trick. But come on guys. Don't over think these things and try to do too much and be too cool. Some things are left well enough alone. Sorry, if I come off as an ahole or anything. I have been lurking and using the hell out of this thing for 2 years and love it to death. I know that doesn't make me a developer or anything. I respect the work put in. Just, the change came as a shock I guess. Sorry. And if anyone does have the old feather, please pass it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YARDofSTUF Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) I switch back and fourth from the old feather to the new one. I'm glad I saved the old one because I find more uses for it than the newer versions. Edited July 20, 2010 by YARDofSTUF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdnnoob Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 The feather selection tool is leaving slightly blurry pixels around the edges still. I liked the old feather, but I guess I'll have to stick with AA's assistant now I had to use feather selection multiple times just to get rid of the pixeled edges that all selections have, but it still left enough of the pixels to make an obvious pixelness Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

NoxObscura Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Great plugins! Suggestion though? The feather selection tool should be able to be set to a higher radius than 10. (Outward, not further inward) There are times, when creating a "misty" border on images, that I need a tool that can feather a selection well up into the 50's, gradually fading to transparency outward from the centre. Don't know if that's too difficult for you to do though. Might have to stick to PSP for that one. (Which is too bad, because Paint.Net nearly wooed me away from PSP entirely.)

You can use object outline or drop shadow after the feather to grow the "misty border". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorbrodt Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Thank you for your plug-ins, they look like they will be of a lot of help. Fiances are extremely thin, as I have spent a year just writing a book. So I would hope to donate something once I get back to normal next year -If you read books, I a will send an e-copy as a thank you, if you like. You can take a look at JacktheDog.us to see if it would be your type of thing. (I did a lot on paintNet fyi JacktheDog'at sign'JacktheDog.us is the email) Thanks again!

Painterman Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi I forgot to tell that I'm running Win7-64bit (I don't know if that is an issue) Anyway, regarding the problem then it's still the same - I suspect that the .dlls get blocked from running or something like that. I'm not a computer-wiz, so I think i'll just forget about the plugins and get on with my life (I have been using your plugs under WinXp and were quite happy use them) Ps. I've tried with other plugins and they too show up in the Effects folder, but not in PdN so the problem is not at your end ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Run this utility and see if it has any suggestions. If it doesn't, post a screenshot of your effects folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to your Effects directory and right-click on a DLL file. Choose "Properties..." and look at the "General" tab. If there is an "Unblock" button, click it and click "Apply".
