  1. Speaking of the resampling changes, and not knowing which option to use, I will say that it was convenient previously when it told me which was the best quality. Since there's no preview for resizing, if you're not very knowledgeable on the various methods, it's hard to know which is best to choose. I understand it's probably due to each of the sampling methods being better in specific circumstances, but there's not really any way for the user to actually learn what those are besides trial and error, and realistically you're not going to trial and error something like resizing in most cases... in my experience at least. Something that would help usability there as a result would be a little question mark button there that gives a short description of each of the sampling methods and where they're useful. Showing the descriptions here in the app would be great start: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/ImageMenu.html (Though the description there for Lanczos is not very helpful at the moment.) (And by the way, as always, thanks for the updates!)
  2. After the changes it doesn't seem like uniform resizing exists at all. Ctrl does nothing, shift locks it to a square, and alt centres the resizing. Even if it did work, I'm... not sure about this change. Why does it matter if zoom and resize are on the same modifier? Just... stop holding the modifier for a moment while you scroll up or down? It's not like doing that commits your resize. I think those common requests are less a matter of the bindings having an inherent flaw and more an issue of just... people not having learned them yet. Thanks for the updates to the colours panel, though! These are great changes. [Edit: There's something I'm not understanding with the new bindings, because now shift is doing uniform resizing instead of locking it to a square. What changed?]
  3. The hardness option of the pen tool is incredibly helpful for editing ink scans, to fix up lines and such. With it, I can almost exactly match the appearance of lines that were scanned in. However, I don't exactly have a very steady hand, so it's easier to do some lines using the line tool. The problem is that the line tool doesn't have a hardness option. As a workaround, right now I do a thin line at 255 alpha, then a thicker line on top of it at a lower alpha. It does basically the same thing, but it takes a lot longer due to it being harder to get right on the first try. Someone may have suggested this before, but I couldn't find it on here, so I figured that it wouldn't hurt if I suggested it as well.
