For all of you out there like me who think Paint.NET is the best tool for texturing, you'll be exited to see whats in the new alpha release of version 4.0.
The thing I'm sure everybody will be chuffed about is that now your paintbrush/eraser can have softness!
Look at that! I didn't even have to use a plugin or a blur! You can also apply your brush as a mask (set it to overlay or XOR or lighten or whatever). There's also a bunch of performance and UI improvements, so it even nicer to use. The dev also said that there will be custom brush support in a future version! I thought some of you would like to get your hands on it early, so I fugues I'd post about it (the alpha is very stable, but always make sure you backup your stuff if your trying out on anything important )
well, as long as the seamless helper plugin works xD Unless! they added an offset option, in which case seamless helper becomes obsolete.
I use the paneling plugin. It's pretty much the same thing, but it has more freedom (if I understand your plugin properly). It still works even without needing to update it
Good news! Will be interesting, as I only use the brush. I wish somehow to have a brush that change contrast or saturation according to a setting. If someone have a plugin under the hand, I'll be pleased to download it!
If you mean something like a dodge/burn tool with more functionality, then you can do exactly that by setting the brush's blending mode to overlay/lighten/darken/multiply. It'll take a while to learn how to get it to work like you want it to by setting the colours right, but it's a very powerful new feature. I'm not sure if contrast is possible tho . . .

Curse PremiumStill, I'll give the update a go with my tablet, see how well it handles them now. (also something that was sub par before)
