    One of the limitations of shapemaker - Canvas size 500X500 only. Not a lot of room for details. Something I color again and again so I took the time to make a shape out of it. Who draws anymore? We have plugins to make our canvas. (tracing) . Your colors and textures was what I was referring to. I'm constantly trying different methods to get the best rendition possible. I won't ask what you used. The learning is trying many different things. 

  2. When applied while the plugin is running no change to the canvas can be seen

    Once the clouds are rendered - changing the blend mode of the layer provides the correct blend mode effect

    Color of layer does not change when negation is selected while in Clouds.

    It does change color by changing layer blend mode after hitting OK in Clouds.

    This is what I am seeing.B)

     

  3. Interesting sequence of events after installing the new update @Rick Brewster

     

    Keeping Paint.Net up to date helps to keep WIn10 up to date. Installation triggered the completion of an update Microsoft Security Center was reporting being done on the 5th of Jan.

    Upon reboot after the installation of Paint.Net 4.20, it triggered the actual installation of Microsoft's latest update.

     

    Probably nothing - Just worthy of note. I found it interesting. When I selected reboot it said nothing about doing an update.

  4. Hi @Chip

     

    Welcome to the forum. Posting a pic always helps see what you are trying to accomplish
    . Here's an example of what I think you want to do.

    If I am correct look for a tutorial that will give you that kind of effect or something close. The first one that comes to mind is 

    This will lead you in the right direction. Your question about the drop down fill menu is used for creating patterns that can be textured in so many ways. I don't think it would help you in this matter. The tut should show you what I mean. Noise (another plugin) is I think best suited to the effect you are looking for.

  5. Hey @Ego Eram Reputo

     

    Progress was made. Newest virus update as of today 1.259.1085.0 (Old one was 1.259.1051.0)
    Before I had to turn off virus protection to get it to install
    Now it just gives the warning and after clicking More Info it lets me install per normal. 

    Also before it was hiding the file after unzipping. Not any more!

  6. Hi @Marilynx

    Welcome to the forum

     

    It would take quite a long time to explain the benefits of Win10 through a forum. We are here to discuss Paint.Net. Having said that the best platform to run Paint.Net is on Win10 .

    Having been around since the days of 8088's, I have seen the industry grow leaps and bounds. After years of staying with XP - when I finally upgraded my computer 18 months ago, it too came with WIN10. New hardware requires new software - especially at the operating system level. WiFi I believe is the driving force behind the hardware improvements (of which I never use). Many features of WIN10 can be turned off which results in the absence of these pop up messages I heard about earlier in the forum.

     

    Think of it as "keeping up with the Jones". New hardware breeds new software that breeds new hardware. The vicious cycle of the IT industry. Thankfully Paint.Net provides an excellent platform for graphics manipulations as well as an excellent support resource here in the forum that even Microsoft can't come close to for supporting Win10. 

     

    Memory - graphics - disk space are the benefits of the new computer to mention a few. For me there is no other operating system than Windows due to my collection of windows based software. Your computer should always be based on the software you use most. If it is Windows based - Win10 is the way to go.

     

    Think of Paint.Net in the beginning and look how far it has progressed. Now Paint.Net is even in the Windows store. The future is all Windows.

     

    Well that's my $.02 cents worth. B)
