Maybe you should better ask HERE. It would be also a good idea, if you provide/link some samples of artwork in the style, that you want to copy.

Me. DIR C:\MSDOS *.exe I've started with DOS 4.01 and changed later from Win98SE directly to Windows 7. Since Win 8 there's an enhanced Screenshot function via Win + PRINT key, that saves screenshots to a dedicated folder. The Snipping Tool exists in Windows 7 too, but I've never needed it. I stay on Win7 'till 2020.

Windows 7 too?

Once again: that's not a bug, it's a feature. And a reset isn't a workaround - but only for your special case.

You can't. You have to reset manually the values to standard by pressing the arrow buttons beside the values.

That's the normal behaviour like in many other plugins within a PDN session. The last value is temporarily stored. That is very useful in many/most cases. You don't have to remember the last values. In your special case it isn't useful but I'm afraid, that you have to deal with it.

You can't get more quality as is. The quality changes under the circumstances I wrote about before. If you simply download and save an JPEG image from web, you have exactly the same quality as every other people doing this despite what browser you are using. If you save this image (or a copy) as PNG the quality ist the same, but you will not lose quality if you later repeatedly save this image.

As Beta0 wrote, in most cases the reason is saving again and again an JPEG with lower quality settings than 100%. In many programs is the default value around 95% and so you get once 95% of 95% of 95% of 100% or so. Either you change this settings or you save the image in a lossless format like PNG. Big images (by pixels), resized in browser looks sharper then the normal 100% view or a zoom in the details, thats clear. Sharpening an unsharp image is a little difficult. There is no magic one-click-tool. You have to compromise. A very useful plugin in PDN is in my eyes Laplacian Pyramid Filter.

What you have shown us, is in fact the mesh of an 3D object, sliced in flat pieces for each visible part of the machine. I know such templates from games like IL-2 Shturmovik and have edited such templates with PDN in the past. Unfortunately I do not know how your source looks for your own skins. Are they simple photos of corresponding vehicles or are they pre-processed images of single parts? It is in the nature of things that photographs represent objects distorted in perspective. When curves come into play, it becomes complicated and you do not get around to postpone such a thing. You can not simply copy an image to the right place in the template. In some cases the plugin Gridwarp may help you.

It would be easier, if we know how in detail such a template looks like. I know in generally, what you mean, but describing is easier with an illustration.

Right, but not only. In your log you can see the entry: It seems, that your Windows uses a NON-Classic theme, so that an responding "Color scheme" in PDN is set. On my Windows 7 with an Classic theme without Aero UI theme is "Classic".

Try deactivating "Animations" and perhaps Windows Aero Design too. I would not be surprised if it was due to one of these things.

Some additional infos would be helpful, I think. Updated mouse- or graphic card driver or some special functions/enhancements for your mouse? Any possibly problematic Windows Theme? What about hardware accelaration in PDN?

You have first to change your gender minimum to non-binary to be able using the tutorial. Don't forget to provide us with a certified copy of your new personal documents.

I told him this before in an other thread....

I'm completely different opinion. Because you obviously already have positive experiences with other programs, I suggest that you continue to use them. The advantage of PDN is its modularity and extensibility. You just install what you need. If you are not satisfied with a plugin, you should tell that the developer of the plugin, instead of hoping that for PDN a general solution is developed that is standard. Edit: After your illustration: Distort This! does exactly, what you want.

Why you ask twice? https://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/111209-paintnet-4015-is-now-available/&do=findComment&comment=529802

I'm not sure wether you really have searched for or not. However - there ARE such WYSIWYG plugins like Oblique, Perspective, TR's Distort This!

Same behaviour in Windows 7, 64bit, also by clicking the menu-icon for New Image, but I can kill the PaintDotNet.exe process in task-manager. Edit: After running some Windows-Updates including Security- and Quality Rollup for .Net-Framework (KB4014981) all is fine now. BTW: I told it before, but pasting images from clipboard after copying in actual Firefox works for me.

You can try a tool like Recuva to restore mistakenly deleted images.

However ... I can't reproduce it. The only thing is, that the "nearly" complete transparent edge isn't a straight edge, but a little bit pixelated. That*s, what I expected.

I think, what you call "outside" is in fact still inside the gradient.

And what is the question? How to do this? Put your image in/as the background layer. Make a new (initial transparent) layer above this. Choose primary color (blue) and fill the new layer with the paintbucket. (If you choose for the blue direct a value for Opacity-Alpha, step 4 is unneccessary) Change for this layer in the layer options the value for opacity. Another way: Use a plugin like Color Balance+, ColorTint (EdHarveys Effects), Manual color... or similar to change the initial background image without additional layers.

Select the bottom layer, choose the paintbucket und White as primary color and fill the layer.

Nevertheless, it would be a sign of good will if the offline help as a PDF document (possibly slightly shortened) as an optional download would be available. Some good traditions should be honored.
