[How to change default canvas size?]

If you're going to use named template files, you should also mark the files as Read-only.

 

Is this done at the OS level, or within PDN? I am new to PDN so not sure on this.

 

Thanks!

I am not aware of any place in the app where after changing the canvas size, you can make that change a default setting.

My work-around is to create a blank canvas of the desired dimensions and save it as a .PDN file and then launch it with a double

click to open Paint.NET when it starts. Then you can have a series of custom sized PDN templates to launch as needed.

You can assign them meaningful names such as 1920x1080.pdn or 5000x5000.pdn.

 

Yes, this is what I have resorted to for now. It works fine. It would just be a little easier to open it to a preset size every time. 

 

Thanks!

[How to change default canvas size?]

Hey everyone, I looked under the settings menu/dialogue, and I can't find where to change the default canvas size. I found a bunch of other things to change, like the font, brush size, etc. I primarily work in the video media world, and need to create all of my graphics in 16:9 format - preferably in 1920x1080. I would very much love for PDN to open with a 1920x1080 canvas every time so I can get to editing immediately, instead of having to change it every time. If this doesn't exist, how do I request it as a feature, or contribute some code to make it happen?

 

Thanks!
