Hello all and thank you, I would like to colour swap some things in photos or rather just learn how if possible. I've seen products on aliexpress for example like clothing where it's clearly the same photo but they re-apply a different colour to it, including gradients maybe even light shinyness? Etc This isn't for professional reasons, I just would like to try and show my wife what some bathrooms would look like in a house for example with a simple lick of paint on a window frame, for example. See the wooden window frame? I'd like to paint it say, this colour (opr (or obviously ANY colour I can apply) Just so it's clear, I do know how to use the select tool with CTRL and SHIFT options, but yeah this one feels like an advanced skill to me, it's hard enough to just to select the region properly. I then tried applying a translucent colour over the top of it, which has worked for me before, but obviously this is a big mess. Does anyone know the correct tutorial to look at? I had a quick peek but couldn't spot what I was after.

What this means is, if I took 41 pics of my car to sell online and I just dump them all in Windows Desktop / Car pics I can just open, all 41 pics in my editor, and fix them up right, just cycle through, fix up oh I just realised 11 of the pics are redundant / rubbish. That's ok I can CTRL - DEL as i go Now, my remaining 30 files, are ALL good - when I go to upload the pics to my desired site, I can upload ALL PICS in the folder, without having to 'hunt and peck' through the good ones I fixed and the ones I don't like That's the key example - I find myself often at times working like this and it would be nice to just smoke them fast, /just like Paint Shop Pro 5/ Anyhow - right click locate / delete is ok (hot key for the right click locate at least?) Can someone do that? Write a plugin which will go to the current location of foreground file in explorer? I'll pay $15 for that plugin "Locate file on disk hotkey plugin" Seriously Thanks team.

Not ideal, not bad though Wish I just had a hot key to nuke the file. I won't deny, Paint.NET isn't a VIEWER - it's an editor, but when I know I need to edit, 45 out of 60 files and I know 12 I will just want to delete, I just open all 60 in the folder, and work as I go.

It's been 9 years. I don't need this function often, I STILL miss the ability to CTRL - DEL a file, within my graphics editor, in order to delete the file. (Clearly, it would also close the file, clearly it would also prompt me, to confirm) Anyone? Please.

Well I appreciate the responses - I was saving the file correctly, re-created the issue on the test PC. However, you're right, it seems Adobe Acrobat will try to strip out the white on a transparent JPG and make a total mess of it all. I then made a non transparent, black on white signature and it worked a treat. Problem with that is, our solution requires a single file for users, for both MS Word and Adobe, not that this is the fault of Paint.NET - so we may need to continue with the current solution of ImageMagik or perhaps I could add a single, white pixel to a transparent signature, giving Adobe /something/ to strip out, so it doesn't ruin the rest of the PNG. Either way solution found - thanks so much guys. Sorry I didn't test deeper, been very busy with more work coming in with Corona virus. Good luck.

Ok fair call - this is a work build - perhaps my Paint.NET is out of date or Adobe - I'll try re-creating it on a spare VM here.

I'm a little annoyed by this reply but so be it, no big deal I'm not completely stupid - did anyone here *actually try what I said*? I'm definitely saving as PNG file. I am saving in Auto-Detect mode Yes you can see the transparency in the save as dialogue box. The results are identical. (yes, I screwed up discussing transparent JPG - ignore that at this point) The resulting file, from Paint.NET, continues to be entirely incompatible with Adobe Acrobat. So can someone else recreate / test?

I've been singing the praise of this app for a long time. I tried making some transparent PNGs to be imported into Adobe Acrobat to use as signatures for our staff (Covid19 and all, working from home, etc etc) When I import a transparent JPG, made by Paint.NET it works fine. https://i.imgur.com/gn0VLgf.png When I import a transparent PNG made by Paint.NET I get this https://i.imgur.com/DpRzEyZ.png Normally I'd point my finger, straight at Adobe, not Paint.NET - but some other crappy dos based package my boss found has worked flawlessly at creating a transparent PNG. (Converts a JPG, into a transparent PNG and the resulting PNG, works fine in Acrobat) So what's the deal, is Adobe requiring a malformed PNG which ImageMagick complies with some weirdo bug or is Paint.NET not quite forming a perfect transparent PNG? (again, traditionally, I'd defer to Paint.NET always bein correct) All 3 files attached for your own testing. (I can produce the 3 files if it will help)

Seems the general answer is no then?

Hey all, I tend to take a heap of screenshots for documentation and then just dump them into Paint.NET I have a heap of memory, it generally is very very rare that it will crash. I realise I should save, it's entirely my fault- but now and then I might get power loss (or in the case this week, some idiot unplugging my computer to test my power points...) None the less, curious if the application could write out say ~tempfile01.pdn ~tempfile02.pdn ~tempfile03.pdn and what have you, depending on how many files you have open? This may exist, but I've never seen it before? Be nice even if it just wrote every 10 minutes (!) Any thoughts on this?

Thanks gents, I will take a peek at both of these. For some reason I thought it wouldn't be (too hard) to do.

I have an odd request. I've defined a shape with the selection tool. https://imgur.com/3mPsFDd I would like to now paste an item into this shape and a plugin resizes and shapes the item weirdly to fit. I know it's an odd request. Here see this cartoon. https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-image-cartoon-person-image12066721 That is a similar shape to the item I've highlighted in image 1, make that squish in? I could rotate it and it would very weirdly morph as I spin it. Does this make sense? In a more simpler sense, if I had a perfect square box and put inside a circle, the circle would be 'pulled into the shape' of a box. Is this possible? I imagine there's some practical uses, although I want to use it for comical effect.

Sorry that's not working for me? Can you elaborate.

Hello, I've been using this app for ages, quite happy with it. I feel like one of the weaker functions is the rotate / zoom tool. I can click the small 'ball' and drag it - but it's particularly aggressive in how it moves. I want it on a perfect horizontal plane, just make the left size of the image 'zoom out' (get smaller) and the right side of the image get larger - and I'd like to do it in very fine increments and DEAD even - no up or down tilt, I've managed to line that up right. How can I do this? because apparently I need to manipulate not 1 but 2 numbers (??) the second one down and the 3'rd one down. Sorry to be critical, it's a great app but this particular function is not ideal to work with.

I want something similar to Prisma or Painnt (I just installed this from the Windows store, cool but app has bugs) Is there a filter for Paint.net which will do this stuff? Prisma can produce stuff like this https://kt-media-knowtechie.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/prisma-app.jpg https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRWWjo2PKSrgwyBqribnjCs8-Br_0eBClTtLSplMk0W7lCVgVIo Painnt can do similar etc https://software.thaiware.com/upload_misc/software/2017_01/images/12913_170117101856mR.jpg Prisma requires talking back to a server and ios, that's awful and Painnt wants a sub, which I guess would be fine if it wasn't so buggy. Is there either an alterntive app or a plugin for Paint.NET that comes close?
