pdnnoob 263 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 what I do all summer Emote Cursor Pack 'noob gallery No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

NoxObscura 0 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 post Share on other sites

victorbrodt 1 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!

My problem is that the files are copied to the Effects folder, but they don't show up in PdN ? Has anyone any advice ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Painterman 1 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 post Share on other sites
Simon Brown 46 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 post Share on other sites

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".

Sarkut 7 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The plugin DLLs are all in the x86 Effects folder on your 64-bit system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoltBait 3,312 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yeah, that's no good. Go back to this page: https://boltbait.com/pdn/InstallingEffects.php and run steps 5-7. THAT's where your effect DLL files should be located. Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to post Share on other sites

Hi I just want to tell you that after I have copied the .dlls to the new folder (the right one !) then they finaly show up under the 'Effects' menu. I now know what to do the next time I need to install one of many great plugins. A great THANK YOU to you @BoltBait as well as @Simon Brown and @Sarkut Ps. maybe you should add a "Win7 users: DO NOT copy the .dll into your x86 effects folder as PdN won't be able to find them" sentence to your first post in this thread. That way you won't have to waste your time answering stupid questions like mine (I'll bet I'm not the only one inhere who foocks up eerrrmmmm mess up the installation !

kccmc 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sorry for being a newbie, but is there a way to use the transparency plugin to fill or replace all white pixels or all pixels with some "less-than" or "greater-than" parameter, even if those are not a contiguous or shape-bounded group? Basically, I have a scan of my siganture in blue on a white background, and want to make the white background transparent to be able to use the resulting image as a signature "stamp" in electronic documents.

Sarkut 7 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I suggest changing your blue-and-white image to black-and-white. Then use it as an alpha mask applied to a blue-filled layer. That should give you a blue signature on transparency with no trace of white. Save as PNG. This would involve using the Alpha Mask Import plugin by Illnab1024. .

kccmc 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to end with the desired .png file. But now the end application problem .... The transparency works exactly as deisred when dropping into a Word document, but when I bring the .png into an Adobe Acrobat document, the "transparency" comes in as solid black and obscures the underlying text. Any ideas for overcoming that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BoltBait 3,312 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Major update to the plugin pack today. Rick has let us plugin authors know that Paint.NET 4.0 will be much more restrictive on what we can use inside of Paint.NET when writing plugins. Many of my plugins would not run under such a restrictive system. In preparation of 4.0*, I have rewritten all of my plugins removing anything that would not be allowed.** I have asked Rick to block all of my old plugins in the next release of Paint.NET. This will force everyone who wants to continue using my plugins to download a new copy. You can be ahead of the curve by downloading now! Not only will you be ready when 4.0 ships, but you can enjoy some new features today. New Features "New features?" you say... yup. I added a strength slider to the Bevel Selection plugin. That should save you some time. I also added a few plugins that I've been using myself but never officially published. True Feather is back! Back by popular demand, True Feather. You begged, I relented. Download See the first post in this thread for the download link and the details of what is included. Enjoy. *(which, according to Rick, is still a long way away.) **The main thing I lost was localization. I had been pulling localized text from inside Paint.NET for my own UI. If you run Paint.NET in English you won't miss a thing. 2 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to post Share on other sites
