February Update No new plugins this month. Check in again next month

No, it is not a bug. It might help to think of the layer as a pane of glass you're swapping between window frames. You take the transparency with you when you replace the old glass with new (in PDN you're copying the clear bits as well as the opaque pixels in the layer). If you were to double-glaze within the new frame, you add the second pane of glass to the first, preserving both layers of transparency (this is akin to pasting into a new layer). This might help explain: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html

The trick here is to work on only one half and ignore the other. When you're done, mirror the completed side over the other.

Remove blue pen over text
Ego Eram Reputo replied to John P McCaskey's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Difficult because the writing is so faint and the blue pen is doing a great job of obscuring it (as, I suspect, the person scribbling on it intended). I'd try to read the letters and reconstruct the words from that rather then trying to restore. J-e-t-o-e-i | ?-?-d-e? Do you have more writing to compare? -
problem saving cleared image
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Garrymo's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
You've removed the background surrounding color, leaving blank pixels. To show you where this transparency is, paint.net shows you the checkerboard pattern. The checkerboard pattern is not part of the image, it is there as a visual cue to you. You've saved as a *.png (which support transparency). Correct This is a result of incomplete removal of the white background. It shows up at the edges when you place another color behind the image. The usual method of removing these artifacts from the edges is to run the AA's Assistant plugin over the layer. -

It stops spammers and bots polluting the forum. -
Long shot: Try replacing the spaces in the directory with underscores? \Analog_Efex_Pro_2\

No it doesn't. Copying does not change the current layer, so there is no change (or addition) to the History. Correct (you can change the Primary & Secondary colors & View conditions for e.g.). Actions which change the active layer remove later items in the History. This is like the Grandfather Paradox of time travel, where travelling back in time and making changes alters the current reality.

Edge Detect messed up...
Ego Eram Reputo replied to mm7916's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
JPGs do not support transparency. You will need to save it in another format, like PNG. This is likely the result of non-uniformity in the black background. The fix is to identify the shadow area and fill it with the same black shade as the rest of the background. How? Use the magic wand on the background and slowly increase the Tolerance until all of the background is selected. Edge Detect didn't mess up - it correctly processed the image. The fault here is that the plain black background isn't as uniform as it appears to the naked eye. -
Animation plugin?
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Rickenbacker's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
How do you want to animate the image? PNG or WebP are alternative options. -
January Update A single new plugin this month. It's a piece of GPU magic from paint.net Dev Rick Brewster! Median Sketch (GPU) Rick Brewster GPU-based approximation of the Median effect. Think of this algorithm as taking a Monte Carlo approach to calculating a median. To improve performance, all pixels are not rendered at full fidelity, only some are rendered and the rest are guessed/interpolated/extrapolated. Source code provided.

When creating the image, use a new layer for each different type of element. ONLY put that type of element on the layer e.g. grid goes on it's own layer. The image above took a few minutes to assemble this way. Mercy! You're doing it hard Activate the Grid layer. Activate the Magic Wand tool Hold down Ctrl & click in as many cells as you want to color. This selects only the cells you click in. Click on the Black Blocks layer to Highlight it Press Backspace (not delete) to fill the selected regions with the primary color (default to black). Want a different set of black blocks? Activate the Black block layer Ctrl + A Delete repeat steps 2-5 from above

It's because Cut puts an entry into the History and Copy does not. Think about it: Cut removes a part of the image - there needs to be a way on undoing this operation. Copy does not change the image, so there is no History entry. Cut & Paste = 2 operations which affect image, so Undo twice to revert. Copy & Paste = one operation (Paste) which affects the image, so one Undo to revert. Clear?
