Note In the Windows Store version of paint.net, the directories for plugins and Shapes are different. These locations need to be created manually. First navigate to your Documents folder (this may be translated to your system language). In it, create a new folder called paint.net App Files Then create three subfolders in the new folder. These should be called: Effects, FileTypes and Shapes. The correct spelling of these folder names is essential, however Windows and paint.net will ignore the capitalization (or lack of).

With the Move Selection tool, rotate selections with the right-button down. Square paintbrush - Brush Factory plugin. Square eraser - Work-arounds.

In the Color window, set color to white. Moved Opacity - Alpha slider to the left. From Opacity 255 to 1 all is well. In the transition from from 1 to 0 the color magically turns to black. 😳

That repros for me, it does seem like a bug. As a side note, using Gaussian blur will also convert white alpha to black alpha.

If you have the black outline on its own layer, it can be used as a mask. Apply the mask to a layer filled with the color of your choice using the Paste Alpha plugin. This will yield the outline in that color.

Running Windows 10. I installed the plugin w/ the OptionBasedLibrary files located in the paint.net folder, moved them to File Types, then to Effects. In all cases the plugin works. I believe that Rick wants them to be in Effects. If I was having this problem I'd run pdnrepair.exe and sfc / scannow.

You can download the OptionBasedLibrary files here. https://forums.getpaint.net/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=17587

Choose Content, Tiles or icons.

Your image. Adjustments > Black and White On a New Layer above: Bucket fill with blue. Set layer Blend mode to Overlay.

If you start with this you can get a range of different radius curves. Polar Transformation.

A similar question.

Use Creative Text Pro on a New Layer (transparent). Background will not be an issue.

Cool.

That repros for me. Not sure whether that's a bug or a feature. Quickest work-around: Adjust selection to desired aspect ratio. Bucket fill on a New Layer. Deselect. Magic Wand filled area. Shift-drag corner will maintain desired aspect ratio.

Duplicate your image layer. Expand the canvas and delete the bottom layer. Use the Lasso Select tool to select a chunk of the image. Cut / paste into a new layer. Repeat until you have the whole image in pieces on different layers. You can now reposition the pieces using the Move Selected Pixels tool.

After removing the white background, duplicated the layer, made the lower layer black using the Silhouette Plus plugin. Then Gaussian blur and moved the shadow down and to the right with the Move Selected Pixels tool and the arrow keys.

If you have the Microsoft store version plugins are handled differently. Note In the Windows Store version of paint.net, the directories for plugins and Shapes are different. These locations need to be created manually. First navigate to your Documents folder (this may be translated to your system language). In it, create a new folder called paint.net App Files Then create three subfolders in the new folder. These should be called: Effects, FileTypes and Shapes. The correct spelling of these folder names is essential, however Windows and paint.net will ignore the capitalization (or lack of).

And of course, to use Bevel Object on the blue rings they will need to be on an otherwise transparent layer also. You can make things stand out more by adding a drop shadow.

Could you clarify what it is that you want to do?
