Nice ncfan! Sometime it feels that way does'nt it! Maybe a little paint by numbers would help him out as well! Not much time taken with this one at all...maybe 5 minutes but I could'nt resisit havin fun with my doggie daisy! original The Devil Dog!

First off forgive me if this has been asked but I could not find a post about it and I also did not see anything about this in the freq requests...but I was wondering if there are plans to make or if there is a plugin for having more than four control points for the line tool? The reason I ask is because I use the line tool more than any other tool there is in paint.net for car graphics and what not and having only four controll ponits increases the amount of time spent making your lines. For instance making flames requires you to have to use multiple layers using both the line tool and the circle tool while earsing and fitting it all together. As you can see in the example below, I had to have twenty plus layers running so that I could piece all of the little little lines I have to create, with only four control points, where as if I had the option of choosing the number, say six or eight, I would only need 1 layer to create all of the nessacry bends and what not. So my question/suggestion/request is are there any plans to increase this or plans for a plugin to customize this because IMO having the ability to select the number of control points would make the line tool better than what it is.

If you click the youtube link in my first post it will show you in ripoffshop...err photoshop what I am trying to accomplish. It's around the 2min 10 sec mark.

Here in lies the problem...using another program I can access a channel dialog box that lets me view the active and inactive alpha channels. I can't seem to do this in paint.net or don't know how to. I have to turn on an alpha channel that is by default off. So first step would be how do I access the hidden alpha channels in paint.net or is this not possible?

Have it...The issue is not that I can't open it...I don't know how to alter the alpha channel

The eaisest way for me to explain to you the help I am looking for is this...I am using a template for a sim-racing game that there is a alpha channel that I need to access. The template is a multilayered .psd. Here is a link...Thank you very much if you actually take the time to watch it because it will explain it way more than I can. - Basically the "paint" schemes are comming out way to shiny and I need to alter the alpha channel so that it will remove this affect. I just don't know how to accomplish this with paint.net and or if I even can? Thank You for any help you can offer me!

thank you for the explanation......so when is 4.0 coming out?...lol or would anyone care to loan me 10 g's so I can buy me one of them top-o-the-line dells that go for about 14 g's? nah...j/k...I pretty much got it figured to open the file in gimp (booooo) and then remove all the layers that I don't need, merge the ones I don't need to edit, re-save as a different .psd, open in paint.net and then have my way with it. But thank you again for all your help, this was driving me batty.

probably about 30-40 layers. I don't have this issue when the file is 1024x1024 in size...it takes about 30 seconds to load and may drag a little when I throw a command at it and reduce the number of layers but that was before I upgraded to 1GB of ram, so I have a feeling that this has something to do with the programming itself...because I hate to be a traitor here, because I prefer paint.net to any other imaging/painting program I have, but gimp opens it with no problems or issues and opens the 2048x2048 image with all the layers in about 5 seconds. I know that the programming in Paint.net is far superior to gimp, I just can't seem to figure out why Paint.net has an issue with this? If anyone has some more educated help to offer I would appreciate it! That's not to say that the responses so far are not educated I am just trying to understand what the issue is and how to resolve it because I know very little about computers and/or programming.

So I have upgraded to 1 GB of ram and I am still getting the same message? any suggestions?

one more...resident evil style original shows too much.

My beautiful wife has died... and I fear I have caught somthing as well... Here are the originals...Nothing really special, was just messing around trying to make a "realistic" zombie look.

I have no Idea how much I have. but I am going to rip my computer apart and upgrade right now!

Thank you very much Mr. BoltBait sir!

Memory as in RAM?

I am trying to open a .psd file that is 2048x2048 and am getting a message that reads "Not enough memory to open file." Now this may sound stupid to some of you but I am not a computer buff...so my question is, The message I am getting, does it mean that my computer does not have enough RAM/Memory to open the file, or is it to say that Paint.net does not have enough allocated memory to open the file - and if thats the case is there something I can do to give it (Paint.net) more memory so that I can open the file? Edit-this may help a little more but the message I am getting is from the paint.net program, but after my computer tells me I am low on virtual memory. Like I said...I know this may sound stupid to some of you but I am not computer literate.
