I hate to effectively "bump" this thread, but what I see here is something I've been looking for for a long time, selection expansion/contraction. You say that you have an "outside selection" option for the outline, but you don't know how to edit the selection to expand. I thought about it this way, I don't know coding so I don't know how to translate this, but here goes. Expanding a selection: If a pixel is adjacent to a selected pixel, it then becomes a selected pixel. Re-iterate this as many times as the user inputs. New expanded selection is made. Similarly, this works for contraction: If a selected pixel is adjacent to a non-selected pixel, it then becomes an unselected pixel. Re-iterate as needed. New contracted selection is made. I would like to take this on myself if nobody wanted to, but I have no idea where to read up on this kind of thing.

Is there a plugin that would expand a selected area, so as to create an outline around the object? Like Select > Shrink or Select > Grow in GIMP. I just don't like having to open GIMP just to do that every time, I'd like to have it right in PDN. If anybody can show me where it is or even make this for me (I have NO idea on programming/plugin coding), that'd be great!

I said that I have a program that can convert them with .bmp in my first post, but I want to be able to edit those files directly in Paint.NET.

I'm not that smart! LOL.

Hey! I am a sim racing car painter (Nascar Racing 2003 Season) and main picture files in that game are .stp's and .mip's. I have a program that can convert between .stp, .mip, and .bmp, but I would like to edit .stp's and .mip's directly in Paint.NET. Can anybody make these file-type plugins? And, if you can, some downloads are in Paint Shop Pro (.psp) format, can you make that file type plugin, too? Thanks!
