Re: New Addon for 1.92
This new AddOn "PhotoMasque" provides really good effects. Some brief info:xnview wrote:A new plugin made by the great author of Photofiltre (Antonio Da Cruz) is available here, so please give us your feedback!
What PhotoMasque does:
PhotoMasque overlays the currently opened image with a mask - this way you can create special borders and other effects. Various masks are provided e.g. snowflake, fog, keyhole, and some more.
Screenshot: Applying a mask with PhotoMasque:
Installation
"PhotoMasque" is an AddOn for XnView. To install it, you extract the downloaded ZIP archive in the folder "AddOn". Then you (re)start XnView.
If installed properly, XnView will list PhotoMasque as AddOn in the PlugIn info dialog, which you can open via menu "Info > PlugIns Information", in the drop down list select "AddOns".
Using PhotoMasque
For starting PhotMasque, you ...
1. open an image in view mode.
2. select menu item "Filter > PhotoMasque (1.0)".
3. Open a mask by clicking on the folder icon right to the edittext "Mask".
4. In dialog "Open" select one of the masks provided. (you can use own mask files, also).
5. Confirm "Open" dialog with "Open".
6. Activate checkbox "Preview" for seeing a preview of your mask and settings.
7. Changes settings (Opacity, Color, ...) as desired.
8. Confirm with "OK".

Hello !
• Also, I dislike the colour-palette and its auto-close feature.
- For once, I much prefer the old good Win one (with several saved custom colours, like we have now in XnView).
• To process relatively small images, we miss other masks¦patterns having smaller and denser items.
- For instance, with snowflakes on a pic W=251 - H=301 pixels, the items are too big and spread,
it doesn't result in a very realistic effect.
- I drew a denser one (from the smallest items), it's better but not wonderful yet…
• But it's a good start, and definitely a very useful add-on which improves XnView a lot !

Hello !
• Indeed, I guess that could improve the final result……(Although it'd be really good if xnview supported saving images with alpha transparency.)…
• Right, I confirm, that's so irritating……One minor bug though, the preview option doesn't remain checked after you apply the filter…

• Hi !
XnView creates a “dynamic” entry in the View Mode >> Filter Menu.
¤ Aside : BTW, this “dynamic entries” feature could be¦is an issue to solve before we switch to menus as text…

• Hi !
• You are not bound to do so. When the files are in the <AddOn> sub-folder,…If installed properly, XnView will list PhotoMasque as AddOn in the PlugIn info dialog, which you can open via menu "Info > PlugIns Information", in the drop down list select "AddOns".

No transparency:

Single color transparency (what xnview can do):

Alpha transparent (note, you need a real browser such as opera or fifrefox to view this one properly online, or at least IE v7. IE v6 and earlier lack alpha transparency support):

2 dialogs there
Both dialogs are there. Select colour bar instead of down-arrow for old, larger style. A bit unexpected.Clo wrote: • Also, I dislike the colour-palette and its auto-close feature.
