Firstly, you're not using the latest version of Paint.NET - go to Utilities -> Check fro Updates.

Secondly, read this thread for how to install plugins.

This is true. I am allowing Mike to host the update of Feather while I work on the next release of my plugin pack.

If you are planning to install both, install my pack here, then install the feather plugin from Mike's site. It will overwrite the one in my plugin pack.

I should be done with my pack update in about a week. Until then, if you want the latest, go to Mike's site.

In celebration of the opening of the new forums at forums.getpaint.net,

I have released an update to my plugin pack.

(See first post for the zip file containing all of the plugins.)

Updates in this pack:

- Selection > Outline now has an anti-alias option.

- Object > Feather has a new algorithm which is much better than the old one.

- Other smaller updates and bug fixes.

Nice pack. Kudos on the feathering for Outline Selection.

Also, you wrote in your first post in this topic that the plugins have been tested with PdN v3.5.5. That release hasn't (and hopefully won't have to) yet been released...

Thank you Boltbait...Great Job !

Your hard work is always appreciated

[BoltBait 2,783]

Well, in fact the effect is better but I think the radius should be bigger...

What do you think the upper limit of feather radius should be?

Doesn't the new algorithm work with introversive feathering? This is missing for me

Huh?

Oh! you mean "true feather"!

First, if you don't like the limits of the radius, I've published the source code, so you can change it.

Second, if you're talking about True Feather, you should read this post very carefully:

That should explain everything. But, let me know if you still have questions.

Got these now, and all seem to be working perfectly!

Thanks

Why can't I seem to download yours? I follow your guide for your plugins, but once I click "Open Folder" There is nothing there. And before I save the folder, I notice there is a little lock icon on the folder. So I clicked that and went to Properties, unblocked it and everything, but it still won't appear when I "Open Folder". Can you help me? Please!

And by the way, I have also tried the general way to install plugins. Sarkut is trying to help me with another plugin I'm having trouble with. Any ideas? At least a helpful response.

[BoltBait 2,783]

Sorry, I can not answer install issues in this thread.

Try posting here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/1708-

Good luck.

Thank you so much for the plugin pack and the assistance in installing it. I expect to spend many happy hours playing around with them! Just played briefly with the feather effect and borders, awesome, again thank you:}

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.

[BoltBait 2,783]

What the ---?!

Yup. The bug reproduces for me. I'll look into it. Thanks!

OMG you KILLED the epic feather plugin >.< What happened to true feather!? I am not looking forward to using aa's assistant as a replacement

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.

This has been fixed in the plugin pack dated July 15, 2010.

See first post for the zip file.

Thanks for the bug report!

Is there anywhere to get the old feather plugin? This one doesn't work at all.

[pyrochild 347]

Define "doesn't work at all," and someone may be able to help you.

And no, you can't get the old one.

[davethedope 0]

Sorry, I mean, it doesn't work the way it used to. Now, it looks awful.

[pyrochild 347]

No I didn't. I fixed it. Just use Selection > Feather if you want the same effect as old true feather.

[davethedope 0]

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.

[davethedope 0]

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.

[YARDofSTUF 0]

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.
