Hi,
If I need to get an exactly square selection that is down-to-the-pixel size even, say, 200x200...how would I do that?
I know I can drag a selection area, but since it is done by hand it is always a bit off. If I need it to be an exact size or dimensions...what do I need to do?
Thanks! :D

Ah! Yep, yep! It was hard to spot as it seems to be image-dependent NAD is the ONLY one without a text label.
GREAT, GREAT! Got it! :)))

Hi,
How can I set the shapes to be solid, rather than whitespace internally?
I've got
Fill: solid
selected.
Thanks!

Hi,
Once i
ctrl-shift-paste
to a new layer, that layer - upon pasting, is the active layer and moving it around moves JUST that wee piece of image.
I can't figure one thing out. Once I go BACK to any layer - I can make it visible or invisible via check mark. I can select it. But, it does not want to move? So that if I pasted a smiley face on layer 3, I can MOVE that smiley face all around via paste. But, once NEW layers appear, returning to that smiley face on layer 3 I can't seem to get it to move.
What do you think is happening?
Thanks!

Perfect! Got it. THANKS! :)))

Hi,
I've used some editors that allow you to drag things in a straight line if you hold down the shift key, or control key.
Is there any comparable function in paint.net? So that, once I have activated a cut selection I can drag them in a true straight line either vertically or horizontally?
Thanks!

Hi Reptillian!
Ah, BLESS you, mate! How do I install?

Hi Rick,
Yep, yep. I follow. Is there any document-focused app you think I could try?
Reptillian! Ah, thanks. Looking forward to that.

Hi,
Oftentimes I'll need to illustrate something by hand. Color of paper cream color.
Once done I'll try to scan the pages. Whenever I use the Auto-Level feature on the scanned results the colors come out REALLY intense - to the point of being unrecognizable - so that even the hand-written number 3 with a circle comes out like this: https://ibb.co/k1CM70g
The best i could do is to reduce the scanner to 75 DPI - then hand modify the Levels' center column left side. That comes out pretty well. But, for lots of pages, it's a lot of work. Any time I use the Autolevels, the results are seemingly unusable.
What do you think is happening?
Thanks!

Hi,
I had to reinstall Windows. I had worked on an image and was sort of using the "Recent Files" list lazily - not REALLY seeing where I had saved the file. Sort of just counting on it being easy to find.
With the reinstall, of course the list is cleared.
I have an image of the OLD os.
Is it possible to reach the data that stores the Recent Files list? I can browse to any location on the old OS image. The file structure is totally browseable. Just need to know where that list is. If I can open the list, I can find the file information.
What do you think. Possible?

Hi,
Got it! Thank you!
Paint Dot Net is THE BEST! Hugely useful.

Hi,
Recently re-installed win10 and paint dot net.
Right now whenever I open an image there are three other small dialog (name?) boxes which open as well: colors, history & layers.
How can I define which dialog boxes open by default with every image? I need just colors and layers.
Also, whenever I'm working on the road and I need to rely on just my laptop's small monitor, the colors dialog box is a BIT too large. Is there any alternative? For me all I need usually would be:

Also, if the video card itself is the issue - can that be changed in a laptop? I mean, is there a component there? Or, is it just get a new motherboard?

Hi Rick,
You're right! I had brought up the refresh rate too high. Taking it down to default resolved this.
Generally speaking, I'd like to run it at 75Hz. Is there anything you think I could do to keep it at 75Hz generally, and then just 60 for PDN?

Hi,
Since the most recent update, whenever I select any part of an image I get a kind of flashing across the whole selection. Here is an example:

Hi,
The link to the extracting program from MS did the trick! T H A N K S ! ! ! :)))))))))))))))

Hi,
Ah! Thanks! Will give it a try.
If it doesn't work you wrote: "Finally, try running the installer again."
Is that the installer for the latest version? Can you provide a link to the installer you mean?
Thanks again! :))))))))))))))))))

Hi,
Can't upgrade to the latest version as I am missing an installation package:
What would be the best way to fix this, or get a copy of the file?
Thanks!

Always Visible Colors Window
in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Posted · Edited by Flingrabu
Hi,
It'd be easier for me if the Colors Window was always visible.
Is this possible? So that the Colors window is always displayed somewhere and sort of "active" at all times?
I checked here https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/ColorsWindow.html and here https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/MainWindow.html but didn't see this addressed directly. Some way so that the Colors Window is always open - or some summary of it showing what's active WITHOUT needing to open it / F8 each time.
Possible?
Sincerely,
Flin
