Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this but I installed this entire set of plugins and I can't get most of them to work. Soft Brush and Sample Brush are now generated dynamically.Fixed in PresetDropdown: Curves+ and Gradient Mapping would crash if an included preset was deleted, then the plugin restarted.something else that's pretty much done but I can't release yet due to a bug in Paint.NET and Ed Harvey being on vacation. new QueuedToolRenderer class makes it incredibly easy to make things like Smudge, Twist, and.GIMP does have 1 feature this doesn't: a brush that can fade out. As far as I know, this build is now superior in every way to GIMP or Photoshop, both of which are slower and handle alpha incorrectly in several situations.Race conditions that affect history/abort/ok being enabled/disabled at the wrong times fixed.SmudgeRenderer abstracted into QueuedToolRenderer.Now correctly handles 0-alpha (no fringing!).Tons of performance improvements (much faster than Photoshop or GIMP!).Gradient Blocks (Effects > Blurs > Gradient Blocks).Posting it now, though I have no motivation to make threads for the individual plugins or even brief descriptions right now. You'd need to work at 1000%+ magnification but in theory it should give you the fully transparent background you want if the shapes used are simple with straight lines.I had an update ready for April 1st, but the forum was closed.

That suggested a crude solution to me which may work if no other advice proves suitable: create the icon/symbol itself at 32x32 and build it from single, solid black pixels. If I've understood correctly the object of the advice being provided here is to find a way of blending down the black icon with the magenta background to reduce that raggedness so that you have just a pure black icon on a pure magenta background and no intermediate tones. As you magnify the tiny icon you'll see those nice sharp edges are actually raggedy and I think that is why you're getting the magenta coloured outline. You can see this if you open the 32x32 image in PDN and just use the magnify option. It sees them as colour, a shade of magenta and displays it accordingly. They're made up of partially transparent pixels which apparently means the software concerned doesn't see them as pure magenta and convert them to full transparency as wanted. However I think that I can explain what the problem is with the magenta outline of the icon.Īnyway the problem is 'simply' that the edges of the black icon are neither magenta (FF00FF) or black (000000). I've no idea what Alpha Blending means or how you enable it in PDN either. Could it be the way I filled the magenta layer with the bucket set to global? A couple of things here on this forum talk about aliased vs anti aliased and discuss how the 2nd layer is filled. I just read a couple of Google links to aliased edges so I understand it a little.

I have no idea what you mean but that may be the real problem, my lack of knowledge. Once that image is reduced to 32x32 it bleeds the magenta like crazy. bmp of the same symbol and it looks great. So I changed it to pixelated but it really did not make much of a difference at all. The only place to do that I can find is in the selection clipping mode drop-down. I thought maybe your suggestion to turn off anti aliasing would be an easy solution if it worked. But I can not figure out how to make less of the magenta bleed around the symbols I am using. I am leaning a LOT about PDN that I will probably never need since really all I am trying to do is this one procedure. and not really getting anywhere on this specific problem. I have been reading the help files, tutorials, etc. It is a good idea to turn off anti-aliasing when making your image. Because of anti-aliasing in both the text and the sign when the text and sign are flattened into the magenta background, the feathering around those images are merged into tints and shades of magenta, and therefore have a different color value and are not blocked as is the transparency value.
