Another new feature in #paragraphic 1.5.4 is that you can now change what color values to sample in for example the Apply Layer node and Value from Layer node. Allowing you to use for example RGB/CMYK channel values or Alpha of the image.

#paragraphic tip of the day: When modifying parameter values using the hover slider controls you can use Shift to snap the values to larger increments and you can use Alt/Option to change the slider range to +/-1 to make smaller value adjustments.

Using the new #paragraphic 1.5.2 Join Paths node combined with the existing Modify Path nodes you can create a lot of fun guilloche/spirograph-style line loop shapes like this.

Just learnt out how those fancy gradient-tube designs are made. You just repeat enough simple circles with a gradient fill along a path to make it look like tube. And then why not add some more transformations along the way? #paragraphic

#paragraphic tip of the day: When using the Apply layer node to create #halftone patterns or other effects, don't forget you can also sample group layers. This allows you to combine multiple layers (noise, shapes, images, gradients etc) in this group to then generate the design based on.

Applying the new pivot-relative transforms based on the distance to the pivot point in groups allow you to make some pretty cool explode/twist style effects to groups in #paragraphic.

Lost Minds software @lostminds.bsky.social · 05/08/2025
The new #paragraphic 1.2.3 update also adds a more convenient way of inserting input nodes after an existing input node, so you no longer have to remove and re-add the existing input node.
