DynamicPaintbrush now available

[RBA]

DynamicPaintbrush is a dynamic process that allows us to define a custom brush and use it to paint over any view (opened image) in PixInsight. It has been designed mainly for editing masks, although it can also be used as a simple markup tool.

The first release of the DynamicPaintbrush module is now available for download for Windows only at the moment:

https://www.deepskycolors.com/RBATools/DynamicPaintbrush.html

Versions for macOS and Linux should be available later this month. No date for a BSD version at the moment. (DynamicPaintbrush is OS-dependent because it's a module, not a script).

DynamicPaintbrush is being released as shareware, with a 30 days free trial, and a registration price of less than five bucks (I think that's reasonable - there are free solutions outside of the PixInsight world, otherwise).

PS: It may have crossed some people's minds, but this is not an April 1st prank! Hopefully my pre-announcement a couple of weeks ago helped when reading the subject today ?

thanks Rogelio, thats great news!
I always missed a tool for manual selection. Retouching certain nasty background or star halo artefacts.
Tried to paint masks using clonestamp and grey pictures to pick up color, but I never could get a homogenous stroke.
I'll definitely add it!

Look forward to a mac OS version. Thanks

Hello,

The latest PixInsight releases came with a new PCL API version that made the DynamicPaintbrush module not to work with these versions, as the module was based on a previous API.

I've updated the module so it now works on current and future releases (until the API gets another update). Therefore, if you're a DynamicPaintbrush user, you can now download the updated version here:

Remember, DynamicPaintbrush is still only available for Windows.

Thanks,
RBA

Looks like you still have the old version. Did you download the latest one from RBA's website?

That's the old version of the DynamicPaintbrush module. The API version in the latest DynamicPaintbrush version just released is 0x178

I downloaded from the link provided to the website. I'll try it again in a few.

I've been trying for a week now to download the new version. I keep getting an error message that says:

This site can’t be reached​

www.deepskycolors.com refused to connect.

Is the site down?

What operating system are you using? DynamicPaintbrush is only available for Windows.

seems like RBA's website is down; it does resolve but whatever is there is refusing http/https connections.

the hosting company seems to still be a going concern so there must be some other problem.

Thank you.

Rogelio's website has nothing to do with PI's website. Remember, his wife died sometime back and he has evidently stepped away from astro imaging.

I reached out to him on Facebook and he corrected the issue right away. His site is up again for anyone looking to download the new version.
