LazPaint (alpha-blending, antialiasing, filters)

[circular]

@taazz:

I've added resulting images in LZP format in tutorial videos (some link below)

@lainz:

Ok, just wait a minute.

EDIT : here is your drawing with blue fire

  wow LazPaint is cool

[circular]

What I did :
- load the image into LazPaint
- duplicate the layer
- apply contour filter
- negative
- motion blur 50, vertical and oriented
- duplicate this layer
- fast blur 50
- adjust lightness
- blend mode : lighten
- merge layer
- new layer with perlin noise (twice)
- top layer with overlay blend mode
- merge layer
- blend mode : lighten
- colorize

patch using BCButton and BCPanel in LazPaint and test 3d
Download it: http://db.tt/sxbbbuGs

pd: I get some errors in 3d test and some others in canvas test, lazarus 32 bits.

Patch applied.

Can you be more specific about the errors you get?

[lainz]

BGRATutorial3D when I click 'ex4' there is a 'run error(3)' 'Invalid FileName'.

TestCanvas2D when I change to '2' there is a 'run error(201)' 'Range check error'.; '4', '10', '17' and '19' the same.

Ok that's always the same error with the obj directory. I added a workaround on subversion and a more understandable error message.

Thanks, yes, this should not be triggered. I've added "and $ffff" on subversion.

I've updated the source code in LazPaint 5.6 zip file to work with latest BGRAControls :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazpaint/files/src/

Can someone make MacOS X binaries for version 5.6 ? You can look at binaries for version 5.5 to know how the archives should be organized :

I was wondering, are there any plans for printer and scanner support?

[circular]

Seems a good idea however well the thing is that the development is stopped for now. Of course it can continue if other people participate (with subversion patches). Personally I switched to other things and don't know when I'll continue. But the roadmap is pretty well defined:
- brushes, digital tablets
- printer, scanner

Hi everybody! After starting LazPaint 5.6 met an error:
Unable to open file
"C:\Users\????\AppData\Local\lazpaint\lazpaint.nl.po"

Is this because my user name written in Cyrillic (Russian)? Could You fix It? because it appears every time i run LazPaint?

I just thought about it: you can use the portable version instead, which saves the configuration locally (in this case you cannot put the program in Program files folder of latest versions of Windows, but in another folder like C:\LazPaint or on a USB key).

- printer, scanner 

That's unfortunate, this is one of "killer programs" made in Lazarus...

The image manipulation abilities already offer a decent alternative to firing up PS or GIMP except for extremely complex stuff. If it only had printer and scanner support, it would be a complete alternative to Paint.NET and similar.

I'd love if I could jump in and help, but I'm no good at graphics and multimedia programming. I also have no time to learn it since for now I must focus heavily on databases and other ERP stuff...

Hi,

I see you are adding more formats to LazPaint, now you can manage File Associations from a lazarus program easy, if you want to, instead of using inno setup (that's good), check this wiki article:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FileAssociation

You have seen greenfish icon editor pro? Is open source and its made in lazarus

[circular]

Oh that's interesting.

I also received a feedback about the file associations, that it would be better to opt out by default for the file assocations when the program is installed.
