Howard

I've recently started to play with your Paint script (for PSPv9) and
am having a wonderful time with it. Thank you for creating such a fun
script.

Checked out your webpage but have not been able to answer the
following.

What is the difference between mode 1 & mode 2?

It must be because of the images I've used, but I don't see a clear
difference in the resultant images.

Regards,

I've gotta admit, Howard, I've wondered with some of you scripts
what the differences are when one chooses 1, 2, 3, or 4 from a
selection, and have just experimented. But is is possible for the
dialogue box (without it being difficult for you to implement, of
course) to give a brief description of what the different modes
mean? Just a thought, not a necessity, as your scripts are very
good.

Regards,

JoeB

Gene,

The differences between the modes are that extra eroding and smoothing
takes place in Mode 2. Some images, depending on their contrast and hard
outlines, require this extra processing IMHO to get the smooth paint effect.

Joe - I know a lot of my scripts have multiple choices, but I do try to
name them to give some idea of their function (apart from the Paint
script obviously!). :)

I decided (for now) not to use message dialogs, trying to keep things as
simple as possible, and, if you're anything like me, enjoy the fun
element of just trying out various settings just to see what happens. I
take your point though, and will try to be more descriptive with the
multiple choice options.

Rgds,
Howard

Thanks for the explanation, Howard. (and for the script!)

Thanks Howard, and I do realize that many of your scripts do have
info in the dialogues that help to determine what the settings
will do. And yes, it can be fun just experimenting with
different settings. I do that with new filters all the time! :-)
