To clarify what @senrisei said, when using the keyboard to zoom (
Ctrl+=), the canvas to is re-positioned based on the location of the mouse cursor.It also occurs when using Ctrl+mouse wheel, and when using Ctrl+B to zoom in and out the image. I really need at least the option to have the image stay where it was when I perform these actions. I honestly don't know why something like this would be changed without an option to change it back to how it was.

So... During the Version 5 update, Paint.net has started zooming to the mouse location, instead of the center of the screen. I can't seem to locate any option to disable this. Is there a way? Because it really gets in the way of what I'm trying to do, which requires the precision of keeping my canvas in place, and I really don't feel trying to deal with the slider at the bottom of the screen each time I want to zoom in or out.
The particular issue is when using the Ctrl-B shortcut. I want to flip between the zoomed out image and WHERE I JUST WAS. It's extremely problematic to be thrown to a functionally random part of my image when I just want to get a quick preview of my recent edits.
Additional observation. If I just use the on-screen button to view actual size, it will actually not return me to the previous zoom level at all, much less at the right location-

Okay, I've finally found a way to remove these troublesome 'Just off' pixels through Irfanview.
It's a bit more trial and error than I'd like, but lowering colour depth in batch settings is so much faster than the alternative.

I use Irfanview all the time as an image viewer. It often gets the alpha channel wrong. My version is old and doesn't support .pdn, but I understand your problem. Don't use Irfanview for conversion.
Alas, that doesn't solve my problem... I've fiddled with Irfanview's PNG output settings and nothing can avoid that 1/255 colour shift. But it's the only program I've found that can mass convert PDN into PNG.

Hey, uhm... I've been creating pixel art sprites in Paint.net and there is one thing causing me serious issues.
What I've been doing is making multi-layer images with fully opaque art on each layer surrounded by fully transparent backgrounds.
I've been batch converting copies of my PDN files into PNGs with an external program (Irfanview) and issues with transparent backgrounds leaving behind odd pixels that weren't made transparent.
I returned to paint.net and used Image sampling + eyedropper to find out that some "Transparent" pixels had a alpha of 1/255.
Is there a way to prevent this while still leaving the image as a pdn?
Or alternatively, is there a way to batch process the pdns to png without these semitransparent pixels becoming opaque? (Batch - as in without individually flattening and saving what will be 500 PDNs)

Erghh... Alrighty It'll do for now. It works for the Ctrl+B thing at least, so I can learn to live it. The normal Ctrl+ +/-/= is a bit out of the way, but it's better than absolutely nothing.
