How to highlight text?
littlebigman replied to littlebigman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Thank you. -
Hello, What's the right way in 2024 to highlight text? What tool should I use after setting Blend mode = Multiply in the Layer Properties (Layers > Layer Properties, shortcut: F4)? The Paintbrush has a bunch of options, provided it is the right tool for the job. Thank you.

How to change color of items in PNG?
littlebigman replied to littlebigman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Thanks, this worked: So, unlike what I expected, Paint.net itself — there might be a plug-in for that — can not simply change the color of all pixels in one go after 1) selecting primary/seconday colors and 2) selecting the part with the Select tool: Brushing is the only way to do this. Thank you. -
How to change color of items in PNG?
littlebigman replied to littlebigman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Thanks. I don't understand how to use the Recolor feature. After selecting an area with the Rectangle Select tool, I expected that left-clicking on any black pixel would redraw all the black pixels with the foreground color, but it only does it with the selected pixel. The goal is to change the color of a whole letter in one go. -
How to change color of items in PNG?
littlebigman replied to littlebigman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
As a work-around, I simply used the keyboard shortcuts for the Rectangle Select (S) and Paint Bucket (F) to apply this to each area, back and forth: -
Hello, I looked around the menus, googled, and checked the archives but didn't find the answer. Is there an automatic way to tell Paint.net to replace all the bits in the picture that are displayed in the background color with the foreground color? I vaguely remember that PaintShopPro allowed this, although the user had to use the eraser. Thank you.

How to highlight?
littlebigman replied to littlebigman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
This thread is from 2014, so I have to ask: As of 2019, is there a way to highlight text in a clear-cut way à la Microsoft Word, or are we still stuck with paintbrush? Thank you. -
Thanks. Any idea what happened? Unzipped and copied DLL into .\Effects Started Paint.net Pasted background picture Effects > Render > TRSM File: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\TRsSplineMaster.dll Name: TRsSplineMaster.EffectPlugin Version: 1.4.2.18310 Author: TechnoRobbo Copyright: Copyright 2013 TechnoRobbo Website: http://www.technorobbo.com/ Full error message: System.ArgumentException: Font 'Arial Narrow' does not support style 'Regular'. at System.Drawing.Font.CreateNativeFont() at System.Drawing.Font.Initialize(FontFamily family, Single emSize, FontStyle style, GraphicsUnit unit, Byte gdiCharSet, Boolean gdiVerticalFont) at System.Drawing.Font.Initialize(String familyName, Single emSize, FontStyle style, GraphicsUnit unit, Byte gdiCharSet, Boolean gdiVerticalFont) at System.Drawing.Font..ctor(String familyName, Single emSize) at TRsSplineMaster.EffectPluginConfigDialog.InitializeComponent() at TRsSplineMaster.EffectPluginConfigDialog..ctor() at TRsSplineMaster.EffectPlugin.CreateConfigDialog() at PaintDotNet.Menus.EffectMenuBase.RunEffectImpl(Type effectType) in D:\src\pdn\src\PaintDotNet\Menus\EffectMenuBase.cs:line 873 -- Edit: Followed this tip, to no avail. I do have c:\windows\fonts\ARIALN.TTF on my Windows7 computer, but it does look like it only supports Bold:

Hello, As someone suggested, I just checked ShapeMaker to draw a straight line with more than four control nubs, but I find it overly complicated to use. Is there another plug-in I should check just to draw straight lines with arrow ends, that won't require saving a file, restarting Paint, and adding the shape onto the background picture? Thank you. -- Edit: How to remove ShapeMaker? I found no item in Control Panel, and no trace in "c:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\.." "c:\Program Files\Paint.NET\FileTypes\.." -- Edit: Found it by chance: Hover the mouse over its menu item, and it says ""c:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\DHShapeMaker.dll"

[4.1.5] Why is the font so small now?
littlebigman replied to littlebigman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Thanks! -
Thanks. As much as possible, I try to avoid plugins unless totally necessary. After I paste a line in a new layer, is there an easy way to line up and space the lines in the different layers ? View > Pixel Grid displays nothing. I assumed it'd be an easy way to move each line/layer so that it'd be lined vertically/horizontally.

[SOLVED] Thumbnails add-on like IrfanView?
littlebigman replied to littlebigman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Thumbnail add-on: In IrfanView, open a picture (using O instead of the standard Windows short-cut CTR+O…) T to display a thumbnail list of all the pictures in the current directory If Paint doesn't support this nor a way to batch-process, this is a problem for me. I'll keep juggling. -
How to draw angles with Paint?
littlebigman replied to littlebigman's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Thanks. I expected Paint to provide a tool that would let me draw triangles in one go, or at worst, a tool where the lines would somehow "stick" automatically when getting close to each together. For the last step, I select the whole picture (CTRL+A), and chose Layers > Merge layer down. Likewise, is there no tool to merge the two lines together, instead of merging layers?
