When I try to move the History, color or the layers menus they jump around my screen and I cannot control their position. Plus the color palette is missing everything but the header. I have Win 10 pro 64bit and have NOT made any changes to my system when this started. I have many addons and they work fine. I do not wish to delete & reload Paint.net v5.09 if I can avoid it. I am thinking the latest update has a bug. Please help Here is a screenshot

What are the names of these plugins ? Please provide links.

I frequently have to clean up black and white electrical and mechanical line drawings and scan/ enlarge / cleanup tiny Asian product owners manuals. I do this to make corrections. Usually I convert PDFs using OCR to .docx . The pictures are preserved but noisy and color noise is introduced I am aware of the black and white function but it automatic and has no sensitivity. It usually makes lines and text jagged and thinner. I frequently have to rewrite entire blocks of text because they become difficult to read. The pictures within the .docx file are saved as .png format. Is there a better method of of making these PDF's editable or at least improving the cleanup of the pictures that will not introduce color. I hate PDF with a passion for this reason. Gaussian Blur does not help ad it makes a lot of grey. I only need smooth Black and White.

Moderator, Those who forget history are bound to repeat it. You may not like old posts but they are very useful. I do not intentional violate rules but like most men that book is the first thing we ignore. 3 months is not old. necroposting ??? Now you (or somebody)are making up words. Now instead you could of been helpful and answered my question or pointed me to where I could find it. I searched for two days and found the answer myself.

thanks mate

This is all very helpful information. I wish to thank everyone. I am using a Samsung S20 ultra on a fixed base 15" high. Experimented with lighting and exposures, It took a while to learn but I now have raw 4000x3000 pics in native 4:3 mode that are pretty good. Even with four light sources, the PCB components still have shadows except in the center of the pic. They are too large to upload though. I have also discovered that the lens does create a slight fish-eye distortion effect. Which I will also have to correct for. Any ideas ? So my new idea is divide the picture into quadrants to reduce the Fish-eye and shadows, Correct each quadrant tilt, skew,scale & fish eye then stitch the quadrants together. It would give me more detail and less shadows. Any thoughts on whether this method is good /bad? Would I be doing this the hard way ? Raw test photos. https://photos.app.goo.gl/3Nd9JUTPrx95g1Te7 Eventually I do need to plot their locations but actual measurements will be needed. I plan on overlaying a grid in a separate layer. I think actual measurements can be done in Solidworks. Still researching that. My hope is to be able to measure parts and create accessories in CAD that fit on the Circuit board for my own use. Maybe a 3d model.

I need to align a photo to a grid to scale. Make it linear Vertically and horizontally. Perpendicular XY Lower left center of screw hole is 0,0,0. Surface of PCB is Z 0 Not sure what the procedure is or what tools I will need. Please help with detailed instruction. Smaller Sample photo of what I am starting with. The goal is to measure component locations in inches from origin.

Need new Link and update for V4.1 I need a scalable grid too

I have a 3200 x 1440 picture of a circuit board that needs adjustment. It has rulers on all four sides. But the camera was not perfectly parallel to the board. I need to adjust so the picture is linear horizontally and vertically and to a 1:1 scale Need instruction. I am a beginner but not a novice. I know how to change aspect ratio and resize, Also I need to stay close to 16:10 What plugins do I need. Have v4.3.10 but I could downgrade if needed. Then I need to place a .1250x.1250 grid into another layer and overlay the grid. Lower left corner will be 0,0,0 I need to then measure components in the picture and plot their location and measure their height. The PCB board surface will be Z0 Any help would be much appreciated. Please provide detailed answers. thanks.

Win 10, Png file will not print in color only from paint.net. Print preview is in color. Prints in color with MS paint but not as sharp. I need to print in color with Paint.net. HP C5180 printer. Steps performed so far: Restart computer and PdnRepair.exe. No change. Need help M R G C A V AT G MALE
