[paint.net 4.3.8 is now available!]

It's almost nothing, but this leftover selection after closing an image bugs me.

 

[paint.net 4.3.3 is now available!]

About dropping support of older OSes: it's just it - no active support (and maybe Paint.NET v4.4+ will run on these OSes somehow), or it definitely won't run at all?

 

Any hints about some new upcoming user-level features? My top-2 wish list: guidelines (for positioning and snapping stuff) and magnetic lasso. Still no ETA?

Yeah I can look into that. What kind of Internet connection do you have? Did it download and install everything correctly?

Fast internet, installation went fine. The problem is I have small SSD, so I have to keep my eye on free space.

Is it possible to show estimated download sizes here? Just for convenience.

 

[Acquire from a webcam]

I have a connected webcam (Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000). Any chance of acquiring images from it? The option is disabled. paint.net 4.2.10, Windows 7.

[Replacing color]

1. Select the new color as your Primary color.
2. Shift key + magic wand the color you want to replace with Tolerance set to zero.
3. Hit backspace.

Thanks, it's more or less worked.

 

But how in the world one can guess about holding Shift key and hitting Backspace? The UI has no clue about it.

[Replacing color]

How to replace one color with another in the whole picture at once?

 

Of course, I could use the Recolor tool with gigantic brush size, but it doesn't look like the right way to do this task.

[Color Picker and color info]

When I use Color Picker, I'd like to have 1) color info in the satus bar and 2) to have it updated in real time while I'm mousing over a picture.

[paint.net 4.2 is now available!]

Any chance of adopting this rather new Photoshop feature - math in number fields?

[paint.net 4.2 is now available!]

Great update! Though I have a tiny bug-or-maybe-feature not related to it:

 

Start the program. It has the "Paintbrush" tool selected, and black as the primary color and white as the secondary color. The "background" layer is filled white.

It says "right click to draw with secondary color". Do this. (You may also select white as the primary color and use LMB.)

As you "draw" with RMB pressed it looks like nothing happens (white on white). The history is empty. But if you try to close the program it asks about saving changes.

 

The bottom line: don't ask about saving if the history is empty.

Mash the keys F5, F6, F7, and F8.

Yeah, this was predictable... How about some single key? F9 looks fine.

Can't find the way quickly hide ALL floating windows. Is there one?

[Small Quality-of-Life suggestion about Brush width]

1 hour ago, HyReZ said:

Greetings,

You could just put the text cursor in the box and type a number into the space such as a brush width of 21.63

It will take just a second or two (literally).

Sure! Also you can use +/- buttons.

 

I'm just pointing at some "asymmetry".

 

Btw, in the font size dropdown list the current font size stays where it is, not on the top of the list. Just saying.

[Small Quality-of-Life suggestion about Brush width]

Let's suppose you have Brush width 20 and you want to change it. If you open its dropdown list, the current value (20) will be on the topmost position. Then, if you want to change 20 to something larger - 50 for example, you just click it, because this new larger value most likely is visible for you already in the dropdown list (which has 30 entries by the way).

 

But if you want to change the current value to something lesser, then you have to do an extra step: scroll up by mouse wheel or by dragging scroll bar, because all lesser values aren't visible.

 

So, my suggestion is: place the current Brush width value in the center of its dropdown list instead of the topmost position.
