Paint.NET :: Tolerance Array Instead Of Global Value

Jul 7, 2011

I have a PNG image that has a transparent border. I want to select the pixels in the image that are not transparent (it's a photo-type object with non-geometric edges) then replace the object with a patterned fill.

Process:

1. Select Magic Wand and click on the transparent portion of the image (I have all but what I want selected)
2. Invert the selection (I have what I want selected)
3. Select the Fill bucket and fill the selection with the desired patterned fill (a checkerboard, let's say).

Problem:

1. To properly select the transparent portion of the image without the object and retain a sharp edge, I need to set a low tolerance level.
2. To properly fill the object I need to set a high tolerance level. The photo object has typical color variety - setting a high tolerance will fill the entire thing to the selection border and not miss any pixels.
3. The Tolerance level is global and its setting is used by all tools that understand it.

Resulting Process:

1. Set Tolerance to low
2. Select Magic Wand and click on transparent portion
3. Invert selection
4. Set Tolerance to high
5. Select Fill bucket and fill the selection

Forgetting to set the tolerance to the desired level based on the tool in use produces unwanted results.

Proposed Solution:

I'm a programmer, so I envision the new Tolerance bar as an array of values instead of a single value. The array saves tolerance levels individually for each tool, and when I switch tools the tolerance level changes as well.

When I have the Magic Wand and change the tolerance, that new value is stored for Magic Wand and all other settings are unaffected.

When the app opens the values are set to some default setting (or user defined settings if there is such a startup setup process, or remembered settings from the last session if state values are retained).

Am I missing this ability for Tolerance to be set individually by tool?

Paint.NET :: How Magic Wand Allows Users To Set Tolerance

Dec 8, 2012

You know how a magic wand allows users to set a tolerance and select accordingly.
 
Well this usually works well for most people's purposes but what if the object concerned has a shadow or highlight effect that would fall through the cracks and require more editing.
 
What I was thinking here is that it would be very useful to be able to not only set tolerances for the tool but also set a 'border' variable in pixels. Hence it would be much easier to extract that text or object with its shadows intact (and requiring less retouching work)

Paint.NET :: Global PaintBucket For All Transparencies Of Same Color?

Apr 4, 2011

How do I easily change all different transparency levels of one color to a new color with matching transparencies? I want the antialising pixels for parts of my logo to keep the same transparency, but change all pixels with the same color to a new color. Everything I have tried so far doesn't seem to work, and I must not have the recolor tool figured out. I'm loving Paint.Net, but a little frustrated right now.

AutoCad 2D :: Use Path Array Feature On 2013 To Array Stairs

Sep 19, 2012

I'm trying to use the PATH array feature on 2013 to array stairs, and I can't get the array to be 100% accurate. It seems like CAD rounds the decimal to the nearest 3/4" which could be causing the problem.

I set my run to 10.5" and rise to 7.25", array along the angle of the stringer, and there's always a small overlap on the stairs. The "distance between" should be 1'-209/256" and CAD rounds it to 1'-3/4" which is where I believe the error is. Is there any way to fix this or array this correctly? Otherwise...back to the COPY method I suppose.

Photoshop :: Pixel Tolerance

Nov 23, 2007

bought a CD printer and made a template on photoshop. when using the elliptical tool (and yes, i held shift+alt to make it symmetrical/centered) to make the work paths around the inner ring, it asks something about pixel tolerance (the default was at 2.0) and after i hit okay, the circle becomes messed up.. how can i make a perfect circle? if i change the tolerance numbers to higher or lower, the circle becomes even more irregular and jagged.

this is how it looks in photoshop...

this is a smaller version (kind of easier to see the irregularities)

and this is how it looks when i print it

AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting Hole Tolerance By API Using C++

Feb 5, 2012

I'm trying to get hole tolerance by Inventor API using c++ but the value returned is not correct.

the code is:

Parameter* diam = m_Feature->GetHoleDiameter(); // m_Feature is a given HoleFeature 
double tol = diam->Tolerance; // returned 1.0
BSTR str = diam->Tolerance->HoleTolerance; // returned "0".
// The correct value is 2.89

How can I get the correct tolerance value?

AutoCad :: Filtering Vertices At Set Tolerance?

Dec 2, 2013

I've got some 2D contours that have certain vertices very close to each other in some parts of the string. Some are only 0.008 apart. The cross checking in Drawing cleanup is picking these all up as crossing strings.

anything that will possibly filter out these vertices at a set tolerance? I've tried using Snap clustered nodes but that won't work seen as though it is occurring on the same string.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Different Tolerance Method

While looking at the different tolerance methods, I see a couple called MIN and MAX, which just tack these words to the end of the dimension. Is there a way to customize the tolerance methods to add suffixes or prefixes to dimensions, such as TYP or 2 PLCS or something like that, so that I can minimize my detailing time.

Photoshop :: Magic Wand Tool / Tolerance Value In...

Mar 26, 2008

Select with the Magic Wand tool

I am curious about the math for the Magic Wand Tool in the following circumstance:

The RGB image has been converted to GREYSCALE and then into LAB mode.
The lightness channel is selected only and I wish to create various selections with MAGIC WAND TOOL based on numerical values entered in the field TOLERANCE.

The image (as described above) shows values in PERCENTACE for K (Black) when in LAB mode.
Now how does the value of TOLERANCE correspond to the value K: for this case?

Photoshop :: Keyboard Shortcut To Change Tolerance % Up And Down?

I am wondering what would be the keyboard shortcut to change the tolerance percentage up and down? For example, to change brush size bigger you press"[" and for smaller you press, "]". I am looking for the same kind of shortcut, but instead of brush size, I need it for tolerance. I spent more than 30 minutes last night trying to find it in the keyboard shortcut dialog thing but I could not find it. I am sure photoshop has a shortcut for this.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Tolerance Text Height

Apr 13, 2011

Why? There's something I can do, to ensure that text height no change? See the attached pictures that show the problem.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Tolerance To Holes That Are Created By IFeatures

May 22, 2013

 I've got an iFeature created that's very handy.  It's basically a reamed hole with a counter bore for a purchased locating pin.  

Here's the rub:  Is there a way to specify a tolerance to that hole that will come through the i Feature?  As in, I can draw the hole with a diameter of 0.501" within the definition of the iFeature.  That's easy.  However, when I do a print, I'd like to be able to just snap a leader to it that will have the "Use Part Tolerance" box checked and will reflect the correct tolerance.

As an aside, one of the reasons I want to do this is because I use Hole Tables a lot.  In a hole table, I can manually go in and change the call out for the hole to show the correct tolerance, but in order to keep the grouping together, I have to do EVERY hole individually.

AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA - Unable To Change Tolerance Precision?

Jul 28, 2010

All the values I put in to set my tolerance are being rounded to three decimal places even though the value is four place and I am setting the dimension precision to four place. 

For Example:  I have a hole of diameter 2.0466.  It is to have a tolerance of +.0005/-.0000.  When tolerance.setToDeviation is called, the .0005 is strangely forced to .001 and is set as this in the part file.  The precision value had already been set to 4 at this point.

I am using the following code in Inventor 2010:

    'Create hole feature
    Call oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.AddDrilledByThroughAllExtent(oLinearPlacementDef, dDiameter, kExtentDirection)
        'Get hole feature just created
    Dim oHole As HoleFeature
    Set oHole = oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Item(oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Count) ' need most recent index

[code]...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using ILogic To Change Model Tolerance

Jul 8, 2013

I need to change one dimension using iLogic.  It changes due to the path taken to manufacture the part.  In a nutshell majority of the time the "OD" has a +.004 / .000 tolerance and the model is drawn at the minimum size.  There are cases when the "OD" has a  +.005/-.005 tolerance and is modeled at the nominal size.   I've learned some of the iLogic to make the change I'm after but not all.  I'm having trouble setting ModelValueType to change the model size.

See the code below, for setting +/-.005"

Photoshop :: Magic Wand Tolerance And Color Selection

May 16, 2006

Either my lack of sleep has caused me to overlook something obvious or my magic wand has gone haywire. Basically, the wand behaves as if the tolerance is set much higher than the value I select. Even if I set it to 0, the wand selects colors that are radically different.

I am working with all channels (not just red for example), the file is a single layer, etc. I've worked with PS for years and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.

In the attached file I selected the white area just above the check mark. With my settings, it should select all the white around the check. Instead, it selects half the white and some of the check, as you will see.
