[Sluggish layer selection]

Perhaps related to this unresolved thread, but I wasn't sure of the rules on necroing old threads, so I've started a new one.

 

This is also somewhat different as I am working on a file that is 900x900 with only 4 layers.

 

My machine is an i7 8700 w/32GB of RAM, running the latest version from the standalone installer (not the Win10 Store one) and I haven't ever experienced this issue in the past.

 

I can't locate safe links for Windows 10 PE so I can't send a performance report until I can find a good place to download the installer.

 

For now I have taken a video capture that shows the issue manifested 

 

 

[How to submit a performance trace]

@Rick Brewster feel free to delete this comment once you've seen it - I would suggest adding a new link in one of your placeholders for the Windows 10 version, as the links you have above all lead to the current version for Windows 11, and the Win10 links aren't very easy to find for the layperson!

This plugin can be found in the Effects Menu.
You need to put OptionBasedLibrary v0.7.8 dlc and dll files in paint.net folder and
WarpTextOnPath dll and dlc files in Effects folder.

Is there a way to install this on the Windows Store version of Paint?

I feel kind of gypped that I purchased the app to support the developer after a good decade of free use, and it seems super difficultr to install plugins now

Maybe you can just use the Tube effect plugin:

Thanks, this sort of stretch the sides of the letter son the edges, so I'll keep looking! I appreciate the suggestion!

Or you can try this:

 

I can't figure out how to install this one - it needs me to split the files between two folders, but the version I have is from the Win 10 Store, so I don't know how to add the items to the paint.net folder - its not accessible

[Curved Text Plugin for a gentle angle?]

Hi guys

 

Been a user for a very long time - hoping I can get some help with curving some text gently

 

Just as an FYI, I've searched the forums, and installed a few plugins, including the DPY pack, and I've tried to create the effect I'm looking for using all the text ones in that pack, and still not having any luck

 

The issue I'm having is that none of them seem to give me the option to make the curve as gentle as I'm looking for - as you can see from this screenshot, most of the sliders (the ones that seem to dictate the curve agression) are all the way to the left, and it's still too steep (the plan is to have the text match the curve of the banner/ribbon underneath it

 

Thanks
