Here's my new psychedelic flower power artwork.... 100% Paint.NET..

Would be a good idea if someone could a more "flat", non-aero version of this so suit with the Windows 8 design...

Well, there is this program called Cameyo. I haven't tested it but what it does is that it sort of records the stuff going on when you are installing an application and after that, it gives you the option to try and build a single .exe copy of the recently installed application which you can then put in a flashdrive to be taken on other computers. But since Paint.NET has the Effects and Filetypes folders, I'm not really sure if a portabilization technique like this would work.
Would it be possible to have an official portable PDN build in the future?

Maybe you could perhaps post an image that represents what you want to happen..

I'm not sure about it but its interesting though.
I would try Multicolored Gradient at this point if I were you.

Its got this nice radial gradient which can have at least 8 colors. You'll Just have to find out what more does the Twist plugin can do for it.

Kudos for the heartfelt statement, Cc4FuzzyHuggles.
Even me would feel hugely outmatched if I see the real works of the real professionals.
We all have different techniques with Paint.NET and because of its simplicity, we do not need years and years of training.
-
Its Free, its installer is small in size and it does not hog your system resources as much as Photoshop do so if you are using a low-end machine like me but want to have a FREE alternative for Photoshop than can run in it, Paint.NET is your best choice.
Its also not as complex to use like Photoshop or any paid image manipulation software. A good start if you are a beginner.
-
Thanks for the quick update and bug fixes man. Appreciate that a lot...
-
Well you can change the fill mode to make it look like that. It works for brush, the line/curve tool, the paint bucket and even the shapes.
-
Thanks.
But I see so much great potential with this plugin. Its one of a kind. Don't you think, it should be under Effects>Blurs section instead of Effect>Photo? And maybe add a little icon for this.
We can finally edit pictures taken from a phone camera or a digital camera and make them look like as if they were taken by a DLSR.
-
This is an amazing plugin. I was actually wondering what this effect is called like when you use a DLSR, it blurs the background with these fantastic faded circles from a distance. I was a looking for a way to create it artificially. It turns out its called Bokeh. Gaussian blur just doesn't make a blur as good as this.
But it renders kinda slow on my computer, even with considerably low resolution and low quality images. I'm using a netbook with Atom processor and 2GBs RAM but many other plugins just render OK with it. Any way this could be made to render faster?
Thanks.

The default mode of Liquify is the "Push" mode. It also has the "Bloat" mode with the 4 outward arrow icon at the left side panel that will literally bloat the area you click. That and Push will produce decent results for melted objects.
That's an interesting album cover. I see you are trying to emulate that Salvador Dali-style surrealism of melting clocks.
One suggestion, maybe you could blur the lines of those bricks and make them a little dirtier so their color would match better with those melted clocks and their shadows.
-
Section bigger than the image? I think that happens on few occasions such as when you paste a huge image that is bigger than the canvas size in which you are prompted if you want PDN to adjust the canvas size for you. Another is if you move the selection's resizing handles with the Move selection tool...
External workspace? You mean the gray space beyond the canvas edges? I think there are good sides to that and somebody suggested that before.
-
I am rather puzzled why a very huge image with 5184 x 3456 dimensions would have only 522KB file size in the first place when it normally should have 3MBs or more. Are you sure you have checked the properties of the correct file? This might be possible if the image has poor details anyway and lots of pixels with just the same hue. I have scratchy ideas of how this came to be and those are theoretical.
If you save a .jpg with 100% quality, the file size tends to go up. I have seen this happen on another image editing program called Photoscape as well.

Try Alpha to 0 plugin by dpy. Its included on this plugin pack.

That error appeared because you haven't yet chosen an area that you will clone to patch and fix the damaged area of the picture.
After you have selected the Clone Stamp tool, you must hold Ctrl from your keyboard and click on the area you want to clone before you can proceed by clicking and dragging the Clone Stamp on the damaged area.
If you could upload screenshots, that would help us greatly on what's best for you.

I started a new thread on this now.
Its under Paint.NET Discussions & Questions.

As some of us might have noticed with other programs that has support for layers, there is this Merge Visible option under the Layer menu. Photoshop, I think has had it for a long time now.
What it does is basically merge all the visible layers ONLY with top to bottom rule of course and it leaves the unchecked or hidden layers alone and not merged with the rest. The Flatten feature, on the other hand would merge "all" the layers, regardless if they are visible or not.
There are situations where I would wanna hide layers for later use but not merge them with the visible ones just yet that I'm confident to flatten at that moment so a Merge Visible feature for layers is in deed more efficient for this matter than the Flatten feature. This removes the need for me to copy the layer I would want to exclude from flattening unto another file.
The new Copy Merged feature somewhat merges all visible layers into my clipboard that I could paste to a new layer on top but that's another thing.
I also think a "show all" and "hide all" feature under the Layer menu would be fun as well.
Your opinions please...
-
First, thanks for this new update.
But would it be possible to have a "merge all visible" feature for layers on the next update besides the copy merged feature?
Thanks.

I have only tried 3 8bf plugins, including Lunar Cell using this and it works awesome although slow on this low end computer.
I will use more of its potential if I know what other compatible 8bf plugins can make magic for me..

Back up your plugins. Try uninstalling Paint.NET using Revo Uninstaller with the "Advanced" setting and install it again. It might be an issue with a faulty registry entry or corrupted PDN installation.
-
I personally prefer the Levels adjustment too.
Lowering the upper slider under "Input" makes good results. See what you can do with the other sliders under the Level adjustment tool.
Curves+ is another favorite for this where you simply drag the graph for "Luminosity" a little upwards.
-
If you have an existing old photo to use as reference, a certain plugin called Color Match will make you browse to your reference photo and try to color match it with your picture, currently opened on Paint.NET. Sometimes it'll work but sometimes not so reliable.
A good plugin to start would be Olden.
http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/11068-olden-15/
Another great tool is Curves+ as its one of my favorites.
http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/3749-curves/
Click its drop-down menu and click CMYK. Uncheck cyan, yellow and key. Leave only the magenta on and gently drag its graph just a little upwards. Increasing the magenta would give it a more vintage look. See what you can do when manually adjusting the individual colors alone but increasing the magenta under CMYK mode and red under RGB mode can produce respectable results for a vintage photo. Curves+ is so good a color correction. See what I did on this post.

Also Cross Process, included in the Ed Harvey Plugin pack will do great as well on certain conditions.

Grain, included on this plugin pack can also add some grain to your photos is you like.
http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/19479-grain-noise-or-%E2%80%9Efilm-grain%E2%80%9C/
You can also use Guassian Blur with a radius of just 1 or 2 cause older photos tend to be a little blurry.
Making adjustments on certain areas without affecting the rest of the picture is a little more tricky and I have my own technique for that. Its a little hard to explain though. For example, I want to make adjustments only on a person in the picture. What I would do is duplicate that layer, uncheck the original bottom layer then select the top layer (the duplicate). I'd trace the person using lasso and eraser to delete the background and make my adjustments on this layer. I would then show the original bottom layer again but this time, the traced out person on the top layer would obviously be different from the original. I could then merge the layers if I'm satisfied. Sometimes, I'd copy only a portion or the original picture on the bottom background layer using the selection tools and paste that portion on a new transparent layer on top. I'f I'm done with my modifications to it, I'd use a Transparency mode gradient on this top layer so it makes some kind of transition fade against the original background at the bottom. Hope that sheds some light into you.

TechyButterflies, I think an easier way to get rid off the infection is to do System Restore. This would hopefully revert the system back to a date before it was infected, although if no restore points are available, you will have to do the tricky virus removal procedures though I'm afraid.
http://www.wikihow.com/Do-a-System-Restore
After a system restore operation, you must delete the Megalo package that has infected the computer by highlighting its files and pressing Shift+Del to delete them permanently.

Thanks Red Ochre.
Although I'm vastly outgunned in terms of PDN technical skill, that doesn't mean, I can't groove. Love the colors man and "gradient" is my favorite word.
Peace.
