Tanel Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hi, If you have used MS Office programs then you know there is additional "paste special" function where you can specify which property of clipboard object will be pasted over destination (for example there is options text only, format, formulas, etc). I think it would be cool to have similar thing is PdN: you could choose between RGB, Alpha, Hue, Saturation, Value... For example if I chose Paste Special > Alpha then resulting image would keep it's original color values but apply Alpha from copied image. What do you think? Could someone make such plugin?

IceFusion Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Good Idea! Can this be done using a plugin or should it be implemented into pdn itself? Not that I have made any plugins yet, just curious.

Rick Brewster Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 This cannot be implemented with a plugin. Only effects and file types.

barkbark00 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 So, your saying that a plugin wouldn't have access to the clipboard? Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanel Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 This is exactly the key question as I imagine... And I don't know the answer. (I have only few skills to make some rgb hacks) If clipboard is accessible then plugin should be doable. It would still be an effect by design - taking src values, mixing it with clipboard and putting the result to dst. :idea: :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 It would be an abuse of the effect system. Effects are only supposed to read/write from the surfaces given to them. Relying on other state or producing other side effects completely ruins things.

That is hilarious and probably exactly what Rick is thinking. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...
