Hello everybody ...

Thanks very much for this new version of your plugin.

It works perfectly well now, even using PDN 3.50 beta, under Windows Seven.

This is my first test and i think it looks great ! :mrgreen:

Could it be possible to use another way to download this plugin than searching on your site, please ?

Juste because it's not easy at all to find it for anybody, me as well ... :oops:

Have a good day ...

I believe it is easy to find the "Download" page now ;-)

BTW - an interesting way to use the plugin ;-)

I'm sorry but your link doesn't send to the dowload page.

In fact, people who are not english may have some problems to find this page :
http://anaglyph.netne.net/1_2_Download.html

Before talking you about this, I sent the URL to a few friends, who did not find the way, just because they don't speak english. :wink:

@Itso: Zip the *.dll file and attach it directly to the first post, that way everyone will find it easily. :wink:

Hello everybody ...

Sorry but i had a bug while using this plugin.

I opened a new image sized 2816 X 2112 pixels.
I selected both two images in the same size.
The effect started and stopped exactly at the vertical middle of the creation.
I tried clicking OK.
A bug window opened.

Here is the text :

I hope this will help you to find the reason why this bug happened...

I've tried to reproduce the error many times, but without success. I've tried JPEG and PNG, the discussed size and even bigger, but without issues.

It seems the problem is somewhere inside PDN - I had exceptions when just work with big (really big!) files in PDN.

Which picture format you have used? May be this happened only with specific formats?

Patarien · **Posted:** Wed Nov 04, 2009 5:37 pm

Hello everybody ...

That was the perfect question to ask, to know what's the problem with. :!:

In fact, this happens only if one of the images is a PNG.

I often use this format and just tried again three different ways :

PNG + JPG = Bug
PNG + PNG = Bug
JPG + JPG = No bug - Everything's good

Sorry not to have thought about this earlier ... :oops:

Have a good day ...
