neonp Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi, I would like to develop a slice tool. However, everything that could help me to do so is internal to paintdotnet. Did I miss anything ? Otherwise would it be possible to allow this, and by the mean time allow to add a tool to DocumentWorkspace (I've already had a look to the sources of PaintDotNet, to see that the tool list is hard coded...).

Simon Brown Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Do you mean as a plugin? If so, look at splatter as inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 The Tools list is internal because plugins can only do Effects, Adjustments, and Filetypes. As sabrown said, Pyrochild's splatter plugin utilizes an auxiliary canvas that the user works with, before transferring the changes back to the main canvas. EDIT: Do you mean as a plugin? If so, look at splatter as inspiration. What is splatter ? Is this Ed-Harvey Effect ? No, it's by pyrochild. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Yes, but I would like to be able to save the slices information with the pdn file and being able to restore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yes, but I would like to be able to save the slices information with the pdn file and being able to restore it. I have been wanting that as well - maybe we should suggest it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 For Paint.NET, your best solution at this time is to add a new layer to your image and draw your slices with a 1px wide line. Make that layer invisible. Then, use the magic wand to select and save individual pieces.

At first time, I was about to create a new layer type, in which my slices could be stored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I access to layers from an effect ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
