So the installation failed obviously. Maybe there's somewhere an installation log, but in this case Rick Brewster or someone else should know, where it has to be.

Just edited my post. Please notice the last lines...

Just to be sure: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET4 doesn't exist? If you take a look in your list of installed programs it doesn't listed too?
Because the searchstring paint*.* isn't really good. PaintDotnet.exe would be better

You have multiple choices.
- You can select (global, low tolerance) one color with Magic Wand Tool and use Paint Bucket to fill with new color.
- You can select (global, low tolerance) one color with Magic Wand Tool and use Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation or Color -> Color Replacer or some other Recoloring Plugins.
- You paint your own camouflage freehand and use Pixelate+ (see image)
-
Coincidentally, I noticed that one of my plugins (Gradient Mapping by pyrochild) was displayed twice under "Adjustments". When hovering the mouse over the list, it was shown exactly the same DLL name and version number for both entries, which seemed strange to me.
Only when I checked in the Windows Explorer I could see that the names were different (once with spaces) and also the version numbers differed, so that I could delete the older version.
Apparently, PDN only reads this information once, rather than separately for both files.-

The problem is...... there is no way for us normal citizens to get plugins...
RIP the free version download is BROKEN go check my other post to see more info.
Nothing is broken and there IS the normal working way.
Normal citizens should simply READ the given instructions.

Additional note:
You don't really need the BAT-file. It only make it easier to put the DLL on the right place for lazy people
(I even can't use BAT files because I deactivated the normal behaviour because of security reasons)
You can rightclick the DLL on desktop (that is in fact a directory/folder on your harddisk), choose "Move to folder..." and select the Paint.net Effects folder.

@Pixey I've understood your question about shortening the path maybe wrong. You just have a problem with the display including optical signs like arrows instead a backslash.
Two solutions:
1. Click in your Windows Explorer behind the displayed path in free space and the display should change to normal text, that you can copy (works for me with Windows 7).
2. RIGHTclick on your file in Windows Explorer. Under your mousepointer pops up a contextmenu. Choose "Properties". A new window appears and shows some tabs with data. Look in the first tab "General" unter LOCATION.
You can select this text with your mouse, rightclick again and choose COPY.
For both (1 and 2): Now you can paste this text for Codelab and add behind an additional backslash the filename.

Look in the menu on BLENDING MODE. Maybe you use "Additive", "Color Dodge", "Difference", "Negation", "Lighten", "Screen" or "XOR" and then clearly Black doesn't work.

Just drop the image somewhere else.

Maybe you try to type text outside of a active selection or your computer may have a serious problem if that happens in other software too.
Which Windows version and Paint.NET version do you use?
-
What exactly you trying to do? Picking a color in the Colors-Window or using Color Picker
for selecting a color directly in the image?
-
-
Could you tell us, wether your computer fullfills the basic requirements shown here or not, what other software is running at the same time and how is the status of your
RAM during this? And do you really use the current actual version 4.0.21? -
With all the new Blendmodes this Plugin could become one of my favorite ones for image editing. Good job, @ReMake !

I assume this is also available on paint.net, but I cannot find it.
There isn't. If you have a new image, you have automatically a white background and can add text directly on it or in a new, transparent layer.
Or if you want just a kind of white "shadow" around the text characters, use a plugin like Outline Object or Drop Shadow.
You could also use Boltbait's Meme Maker.

I meant to draw it using the tools inside Paint.Net
That's clear. And again: freehand drawing (with mouse or tablet) in PDN may problematic for someone. You still need good skills and finecontrol over your hands.

I would just draw it.
That was my first idea too, but not everyone has the ability to do this freehand. And we're here in a board dedicated to an image editing software ...

Here's another try with less shades of gray.
-
You could use Threshold and/or EarthsnGreys to do the most things and later add additional layers to draw some lines for finetuning.
Or you use EarthsnGreys only and seperate every Grey-Value in a single layer, add an dark outline and recombine it.
Result:
-
You should use a plugin like Seamless Texture Maker plus Seamless Texture Helper.
-
"New copy ..." .... You probably use an outdated version 4.0.20. Please update to 4.0.21.

If NET Framework installation fails, you can try the following steps (works for me perfectly)
1. If there is an error log, view it and search nearly at the end of the very long text the ProductCode of your version. For 4.7.1 it should be {E0C7523C-686B-3EE6-8FB1-CB4339E30EDD}
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer and create the new Key SecureRepairWhitelist
3. Create IN this Key a new String Value and use as value the ProductCode {E0C7523C-686B-3EE6-8FB1-CB4339E30EDD}.
After closing regedit you can restart the NET Framework installation and it should work.
...okay ... I'm too late...

Windows 10 install Issue
in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
Posted · Edited by IRON67
I only know, that many software installations produces logs somewhere and sometimes, even without error messages you can find the errors in those logs. So it may be here too.
I don't believe, that this would work. Some parts of the installation includes changes in the Windows Registry Database too and that would be a problem for your idea.
