bEPIK Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Hello. When I started using Zoom blur deluxe (before version 3.20) I had trouble remembering whether the top or bottom slider was horizontal. Then, when I figured that out, did a higher value mean left or right. So a few days ago I decided to get the idea out of my head and onto an image. Spot the difference. I know it only takes a few seconds to figure out how the effects work but I believe a lot of new users would benefit for this. Please leave any thoughts on improvements or ideas.

oma Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 we've had a similar conversation about UI here where those - and + could possibly show the actual x/y coordinates Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery
jerkfight Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I really like this gui! I hope this is implemented. Quote
david.atwell Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I like the idea, if it's not too much work. Especially great if it could be incorporated into IndirectUI.

Myrddin Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I think this is an excellent idea you have there. I think this addition is even better... The drag function in the preview works for most people and any fine tuning can be done in the text entry boxes... Both ideas are clean, radical and still practical for both the new user and experienced user alike. EDIT: I particularly like this small detail: This will be good for those who might have to think twice to which direction the up adjustment goes, therefore saving time and being that extra bit more intuitive.

I Like Pi Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I like it, but I don't think the part Myrddin pointed out is possible. Quote
pyrochild Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I like it, but I don't think the part Myrddin pointed out is possible. Not without writing a completely custom new Control. Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!
Myrddin Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Considering I've never coded in my life, nor seen how to create something like that, I think a small amount of lenience can be given to me. It was worth a mention anyway. Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery

PrettyDarnNeat Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I like it a lot. It's one of the best change suggestions I've seen. I think the sliders defineitely need to stay, the center drag is just too sensitive and you wouldn't wind up saving any time or making it any easier by having to click in both of the boxes and make the adjustments after draging to somewhere close.

david.atwell Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 This: - and + could possibly show the actual x/y coordinates Makes the most sense to me. But I like the idea of putting the sliders in the "right" place. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

You fail to realize that moving and shortening the sliders as pictured would increase the sensitivity to that of the center drag...rendering the change ineffective.

You fail to realize that moving and shortening the sliders as pictured would increase the sensitivity to that of the center drag...rendering the change ineffective. Well, maybe you always know exactly where you want the center and can just enter x= 0.25 and y= 0.87, but I think the rest of us would prefer sliders. And I don't see them as being any smaller, infact the verticle one looks a little bigger, and as for sensitivity, I thought that was controlled by the number of pixels in a drawing, like a 96 pixel is not as sensitive with plugin sliders as say a 300 ppi drawing, tied in of course with my monitors resoultion. I'm probably wrong, but it seems to be that way on my computer. Anyway, it's not up to me. Quote
