i've used paint.net without any custom addons for almost a decade now, maybe longer, but today i upgraded to the version 4 and started looking through the addons and everything available here. since from today onward i will use a new paint.net with new addons, i figured i can show a few things from the last 2 years using my old setup, starting with the most recent the technique i'm currently experimenting with is stretching portions of an image to recreate the original. you can see this in all the pictures above to various degrees. it results in stretched gradients, brushstroke-looking blocks of color, and the effect is interesting i think. i have been considering creating an addon to make this type of work easier or perhaps even automate a portion for fun also just using layers and the layer filters to impose simple effects, it's a useful basic skill and you can always learn something new or a nice combination, or maybe even just the basic effects in different combinations other things i've experimented in the past years are glitching/databending a variety of ways to generate interesting results, like the last 3 pictures which i consider 'waves'. i was also trying to generating patterns as you can see anyway i know it's not a whole lot of original work, even though this is just a sample. most of the things i make now are just edits of my photos, but i try new things every so often. hope you enjoy

I don't know if anyone else has encountered this issue. I try to type a text and the image (120x150px) jumps to the center of the screen. If I hold Ctrl at a certain zoom level the image shakes. This behavior is intentional or a issue?

Bah - We've got to suffer for our art! You could try one of the many recolouring plugins. eg. Recolour choice Use the eye dropper tool to set the detection colour to the blue in the image. Run the effect. Set the replacement colour to white and transparency to zero (opacity really) and experiment with different tolerance levels and detection methods. I would think 'Hue only' should work. Increase 'blend edges' to get a smoother cut out. Good luck ... don't get eaten.

Yes, that was the price of not being eaten alive

Actually, this gives me an idea for the paintbrush/eraser tool! Would it be possible to assign actual shapes to the Paint brush and eraser tool? Like uh, all of the shapes already there? So for example you could have a square shaped eraser like in MS Paint and any other shape that is already in PDN.
