Paint.NET

Multi Color Gradient

The Multi Color Gradient plugin helps you to create and edit a Multi-Color Gradient.

Download: http://www.fotoview.nl/MultiColorGradient.zip



To Install:

Put the "MultiColorGradient.dll" file in the Paint.NET "Effects" directory
This is usually "C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects"
The effect is located in the Effects->Render submenu

How to use:

Select the type of gradient, Linear, Radial, or Square. A Linear gradient is defined along a line specified by the width of the image and the direction of the gradient. A Radial or Square gradient is defined from the center to the boundary of the image.

For a Linear gradient drag the Angle slider to change the direction of the gradient. Drag the Count slider to change the color count.

Select the colors by clicking the color picker control. Drag the position sliders to change the postions of the interpolation colors. The color positions in the control specify percentages of distance along the gradient line. For example, a value of 20 specifies that this point is 20 percent of the total distance from the starting point. The postions in this control are represented by values between 0 and 100, and the first color in the gradient must be at position 0 and the last must be at postion 100.

Click the randomize parameters button (dice button) to try out random settings in the preview dialog. Click the default values button (arrow button) to restore the default values.

this seems cool! well done and thanks!!

I was thinking about something like this a few days ago when I had to make multiple layers with a different gradient color over each. This sounds like it might save a lot of time.

I'll have to give it a whirl when I get off work.

I haven't touched it yet, but it looks awesome!

Would you be able to add an option to selectively define the center of the radial and square gradients?

Maybe in the next version.
In the original design you can move, resize and rotate the entire gradient.
Like a 'floating' selection.

Question: could someone explain to me how this one is different from the one under adjustments called gradiant mapping?

Oma, This creates a gradient. Pyro's plugin adds a gradient map to your existing image.

Ok I'll give it a whirl. see what I think of it.
if there are any modifications I'd like to see I'll come back and mention them.

ciao for now OMA

definetly a keeper plugin. like especially the ability to enter hex code values for colors on the pallett. it will most likely replace my use of hue saturation. and love the transparency. aspect.

changed this picture on left to picture on right in just a couple of steps.

cut out the polar at the top and used plugin on just the selected image added the maze underneath layer to check how opaci it was and just a bulge to show distortion.

very good A+ for ease of use from a non programer point of use application. .

I just tried it. Wow. This can be really useful. Thanks romein.

Cuts out the middleman from pyro's Gradient Mapping method. Nice work!

I'll have to try this!
Nice.
:]

Nice dude, keep 'em coming...

Nice-looking UI, but it seems sort of superfluous, especially since its output doesn't really depend on the existing image. So why have a window showing the original image?

Unless I'm missing something here...
