  1. This is a small update that fixes some bugs, adds a new Latvian translation, and updates the bundled AvifFileType plugin. Get the Update There are two releases of Paint.NET: Microsoft Store release (recommended) You can purchase it here. This helps fund development and is an alternative or supplement to sending in a donation. If you already have it installed, the update should happen automatically once Microsoft certifies the update, usually within the next day or so. To get the update immediately (once it's certified), you can follow the instructions listed here. Classic Desktop release Download the installer from the website. This is the recommended download if you don't have Paint.NET installed. It can also be used to update the app. If you already have it installed, you should be offered the update automatically within the next few days, but you can also get it immediately by going to βš™ Settings -> Updates -> Check Now. Offline Installers and Portable ZIPs are available over on GitHub. Change Log Changes since 5.0.12: New: Latvian (lv) translation Fixed the Colors window sometimes showing up at weird sizes if the system scaling (DPI) was changed between sessions Fixed a crash in the Simulate Color Depth plugin (reported by @toe_head2001) Updated the list of libraries/contributors in the About dialog with some libraries that got missed (mostly from Microsoft) Fixed some clipped/invisible text in the installer when going through the Custom flow Added the GPU driver version to Diagnostics info Fixed HistogramEffect's Bins property https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/124026-getting-an-error-when-trying-to-use-histogrameffect-codelab-sample/?do=findComment&comment=618040 Updated the bundled AvifFileType plugin to version 1.1.30.0 (thanks @null54!)

  4. For this really fabulous program. I used Photoshop almost since it was developed, lost it in a crash (blue screen of D!!) and couldn't retrieve the necessary info, and couldn't afford getting a new license so tried many other free ones including that other good one that can't ever remember the name. Bumped into Paint Net only recently and found it very good and user friendly, but couldn't really get too fond of it because it didn't have (or I couldn't find) a "smudge" tool, something that I am quite used to use. Now I found a perfect substitute a marvelous Plugin !! That found here in the Plugin Index it's TRsSmudge by TechnoRobbo 😻 I managed to install it following the instructions here and in the Plugin zip too. Have just subscribed so I'm a "newbie", of only 84yo but who's counting right ? πŸ˜‰ Just wanted to say thank you to the developer or developers of this very fantastic program and now also to the developer or creator of the plugin. See you all !

  5. March Update One new plugin this month: Graph Paper BoltBait Renders school-style graph paper with or without XY axis. Can also draw points and primitive shapes based on a sequence of cartesian points. Source code provided. There is also the inclusion of an old plugin - which had been missed: Make Color Transparent from KrisVDM's Plugin Pack. Sorry for the omission @KrisVDM

  6. The only difference between those two formats is the file header value used to identify it. ATI2 is one of the legacy names for BC5, which some applications require instead of the BC5U value that the BC5 (Linear, Unsigned) format uses.

  9. Step 1: Run the outline effect and choose yellow for the color. Click OK Step 2: Run the outline effect again and choose the red color changing the line style to dashed. You must be using a really old version. The one shipping now goes up to 100.

  12. This was an experiment mashing together a picture I took of a couple models in front of a blank monitor, then I added in the background after I got rid of the weird pixelization caused by the monitor. Figuring it out was not really difficult, but required a lot of trial and error.

  15. BoltBait GPU Accelerated Plugin Pack (for Paint.NET v5.0+) NOTE: If you're looking for my plugin pack for Paint.NET v4.3.12, go here, or Paint.NET v3.5.11, go here. If you're in here downloading the 5.0 version of Paint.NET, you're probably familiar with my plugin pack. I have spent the better part of the last 6 months rewriting most of my plugins from scratch... taking advantage of all the new toys @Rick Brewster has given us plugin authors in Paint.NET v5.0. He has completely rewritten the Effect system within Paint.NET v5.0 (Don't worry, all your favorite classic effects will still work.) adding new capabilities for the IndirectUI system and providing access to the GPU so that our effects can run VERY fast! What's New: I have rewritten more than 25 of my plugins so that they will now be GPU accelerated! While I was in there, I also added cool new features. Be sure to check your favorite plugin! Download: Download Donate How to install these plugins. Download Contents: The following effects have been GPU accelerated Adjustment > Black and White Plus Adjustment > Color Balance Adjustment > Combined Adjustments Adjustment > Transparency Artistic > Dream Fill > from Clipboard Fill > from File Object > Apply Alpha Mask Object > Bevel Object Object > Feather Object Object > Inner Shadow Object > Outline Object Object > Switch Alpha to Gray (This is Create Alpha Mask) Object > Switch Gray to Alpha Photo > Level Horizon / Plum Bob Photo > Meme Maker Photo > Photo Adjustments Photo > Remove Dust Photo > Vignette Plus Render > Calendar Creator Render > Flames Selection > Bevel Selection Selection > Blur Selection Edge Selection > Feather Selection Selection > Inner Shadow Selection > Outline Selection Text Formations > Text Fun Factory Object > Drop Shadow Plus The following effects are classic flavor* Adjustment > Hue / Sat+ Flip Horizontal Flip Vertical Artistic > Oil Paint+ Artistic > Pastel Blurs > Gaussian Blur+ Color > Complementary Colors Object > Paste Alpha Photo > Seam Carving Photo > Sharpen Classic Photo > Sharpen Landscape Render > Chart / Graph Render > Dimensions Render > Gradients Render > Grid / Checkerboard Render > Polygon / Stars Stylize > Edge Detect Classic Stylize > Floyd-Steinberg Dithering Outdated plugins removed from my pack Adjustment > Temperature / Tint (now built-in) Text Formations > Creative Text Pro (now Text Fun Factory) Text Formations > Outlined / Gradient Text (now Text Fun Factory) I made a new Drop Shadow plugin! This pack also includes 57 shapes and 2 palettes. These are the ones I use. *Please post a vote for which of my "classic" effects you'd like to see GPU accelerated next. Screenshots of Various Effects: Outline Selection and Outline Object got some new features and the outlines look MUCH better than previous versions. Check out some of these new features: Bevel now has a shadow angle free choice and a hard edge option. Calendar Creator now has holiday highlighting. Enter your favorite birthdays! Many of my plugins utilize tabs for making the UI much smaller than before. For example, Text Fun Factory separates the UI into basic functions: The Photo > Level Horizon effect utilizes 2 tabs, one for marking the horizon and one for finalizing your image: Some old favorites have been rewritten for GPU acceleration: Enjoy! Also, for you luddites that refuse to use the installer, here's a zip file with all the DLL's in it: BoltBaitPack610DLLs.zip How to install Paint.NET plugins. NO SHAPES FOR YOU! How about giving this post an up vote β™₯️?

  18. Back on the topic of Carter, here's a view of his entire body: Who is he, you may ask? He's essentially... well, me! This is something one may call an "avatar", or a "per/fursona" (fursona in this case due to his "furry physique", please don't look at me in a negative light :S). Many people have a character that represents themselves, whether it be a human, an animal, or even something in the middle, like this!

  25. You can also use the Pan (hand) tool. I tend to use Space + Left Mouse Button for panning, which is available when any tool is active and when View -> Zoom to Windows is not enabled (it's always enabled after opening an image). After opening an image, press Ctrl+B to toggle off View -> Zoom to Window, then Space + LMB for panning.

  26. v2.1 When installed, it shows up in the Effects > Text Formations > Text Fun Factory menu. This is now included in my plugin pack, you can download it there. Installer included. Go There Donate Note: This effect is GPU accelerated, over 1,770 lines of code, and requires Paint.NET v5.0.12+. The least you can do is give this post an "up vote". Here are some samples of what this plugin can produce in a matter of seconds: and the size. Works with the fonts already on your system. You control the overlap amount. Select a fill style: There are 49 built-in seamless textures you can use to fill your lettering, for example: or Using the clipboard, you can use any image you want. These images can be scaled (zoomed), rotated to any angle, and color corrected. Solid fills can take colors from your current or the default palette for each letter: Next, select your outline style, color, and size, including: or a colorful You can choose many shadow options, including color and direction: or All of the samples above show a fully customizable 3D style. If you don't like that, you can also go with: And, now for the FUN! or or Also, you can mix them all together! One last thing: You can swap the layering overlap direction so that later letters are on top of instead of behind the previous letter: What will you create with it?

  27. We visit our daughter in Spain sometimes, but even that's too hot for me. Been to Florida. Liked it but have no wish to return. But we digress. Thanks for your input on the matter at hand.

  28. Actually, the size of the layers is irrelevant to this matter. The whole issue revolves around scrolling the canvas using the scroll bars at the right hand side and the bottom. Using these scroll bars is not easy in order to get the canvas into a specific position in the window. But given that we seem to be having some difficulty understanding what I'm saying I must suppose that using the scroll bars is the only way to adjust the position of the canvas. Florida is very beautiful but far too hot for me; even in winter.

  29. @Rick Brewster I've found other unexpected focus behaviour in the Colors window. This might get swept up in your fix for the problem described above but I'm reporting it here so it can be checked when you investigate the above. This problem does not prevent the Tools shortcuts from working; it's more of a UI quirk, but it probably points to some incorrect focus handling code that might be related to the above bug. Expected Behaviour Clicking on the background (or certain other areas) of the Colors window should not momentarily give focus to a color entry field. Actual Behaviour Clicking on the background (or certain other areas) of the Colors window in the way described in 'Repro Steps' below, momentarily gives focus to a color entry field. Initial Setup 1. Run paint.net and display the Colors window in its expanded state. 2. Close paint.net 3. Run paint.net again. The Colors windows is displayed at startup. - As expected, none of the entry fields (i.e R, G, B, H, S, V, Alpha) has focus. Repro Steps 1. Click in one of the color entry fields (for example the R field). - The R field is given focus as shown by the blue underline on Windows 11 (or blue outline Windows 10). 2. Click in the Color Wheel - The R field no longer has focus 3. Click on the background of the Colors window (or on the Primary/Secondary color control, the Swap Pri/Sec icon, or the reset to black/white icon, but not on the Color Wheel or the Palette area) - The R field is given focus for the duration of the mouse button being held down. This should not happen. The following screen video shows focus momentary being given to the R field when clicking on the background but not when clicking on the Color Wheel. Note that the 🟒 highlight at the pointer shows when the mouse is clicked.

  34. I think the poster has a newer PSD file that the plugin does not yet support. There are quite a few other posts in this topic with the same error message, and it is highly unlikely that all of those files would be corrupt.

  39. Already answered by @Tactilis above. Upgrade your PC so it has more memory (RAM). This may require buying a new PC, since it looks like you're using a laptop and those can't always have their RAM upgraded. I should probably fix PDN itself so it reports this to the user (you) as Out Of Memory instead of File Is Corrupted.

  42. It assuredly doesn't need to be accurate to a few thousandths of an inch. You'll be fine just typing in your 3dp inch width and height, letting paint.net round them to 2dp and convert them to pixels. As I showed above, you won't be able to measure the difference.

  46. I know @toe_head2001 has an excellent graph paper plugin, however, it doesn't include labels and shape drawing. So, I rolled my own. I won't publish this as his is better than mine. But, I thought someone might find it interesting as it is GPU accelerated. CodeLab source for BBGraphPaper.cs : I use this when helping my kids with their geometry homework. Since the script is just for my own use, it doesn't have a lot of error checking. And, I haven't bothered to go back and clean it up. // you've been warned! Each shape gets a different color. The first shape gets color index 2, red. Then, each shape after that gets the next color from the default color palette. EDIT: Download v2.1 below!

  47. From wikipedia, under Scroll (art): "The scroll in art is an element of ornament and graphic design featuring spirals and rolling incomplete circle motifs, some of which resemble the edge-on view of a book or document in scroll form, though many types are plant-scrolls, which loosely represent plant forms such as vines, with leaves or flowers attached. Scrollwork is a term for some forms of decoration dominated by spiralling scrolls, today used in popular language for two-dimensional decorative flourishes and arabesques of all kinds, especially those with circular or spiralling shapes." This plugin will generate a variety of scroll ornament patterns any time you feel a craving for some sprawling spirals coming on. ScrollGenerator.zip contains the ScrollGenerator.DLL and (CodeLab-generated) Install_ScrollGenerator.bat that will install the plugin for you. After installation, look for Effects > Render > Scroll Ornament If you are interested, the code for the plugin can be found at: https://github.com/annayudovin/PDN-ScrollGeneratorPlugin Here are some screenshots: ScrollGenerator.zip

  48. This plugin will take the brightness of the pixels in an image, and make them transparent based on the values from the GUI. located in Effects > Transparency It was created to take different exposure images and combine them into a sort of HDR image. It's pretty simple in concept so I'll give an example of how I use the plugin. High, Mid, and Low exposure images: On the high-exposure image, I make the bright pixels transparent so that I have detail in the dark areas. And on the low-exposure image, I make the dark pixels transparent so that I have detail in the bright areas. Then I merge those layers (just "Normal" layer blend mode) onto the mid-exposure image. In the end, I have a photo with more dynamic range than what my basic phone camera could have gotten just on it's own. Download: SelectiveTransparency.zip CodeLabs Code:
