Make sure you are installing version 5.0.13. Looking at your registry keys, your present version seems well out of date.

That's odd. You should have registry keys for: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\paint.net\ File/MostRecent/Path0 .. 9 File/MostRecent/Thumbnail0 .. 9 File/MostRecent/ThumbnailDpi0 .. 9 Looking at the key Updates/LastCheckTimeUtc with value 637777865591369352, it seems that the last time you used this version and it did an update check was 2022-01-14 19:49:19 Did you once have the installer version of paint.net, which uses the Registry, but since then have used only the portable version, which does not use the registry?

You are clicking on an advert. You can. Look at this thread (it's for 5.0.9 but where you click is the same for 5.0.13)

@GamerJamesey You will not receive any help if you SHOUT like that. What you have written makes you come across as rude and entitled. So, before you do anything else, please read the Forum Rules, which are linked at the top and bottom of every page. After you have done that, if you are still having a problem with this plugin, please post again and explain exactly what is not working for you. For example: - Is it an installation problem and you can't get the plugin to display in the menu? - Does the plugin display OK but you don't know how to use it? - Does the plugin crash for you? In which case, please post the crash log.

@JAA It would be very helpful if you could post a couple of example pictures showing exactly what you mean.

Why would you need to pay again?

@0rinoco It's always a good idea to first read the comprehensive and well written paint.net Documentation. In paint.net click the Help icon at the top right, or press the shortcut key F1, or bookmark this page https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/index.html The Clone Stamp is described under Tools -> Photo Tools -> Clone Stamp Tool https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/CloneStamp.html The way the tool works has not changed.

@timber_ridge Please do this: 1. Reboot your PC to ensure that any previous installation process is terminated. 2. Use this Microsoft tool to fully remove the previous broken installation https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-cca7d1b6-65a9-3d98-426b-e9f927e1eb4d 3. Now reinstall paint.net 5.0.13

@NetDotPaint The plugin's page at https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/114600-image-distortion/ contains a note saying where you need to put the OptionBasedLibrary files and there is further discussion of this in the thread. I've edited the note to make it bolder now.

OK... 1. Go to https://forums.getpaint.net/ 2. Click on Paint.NET Search 3. Type marble texture in the search box 4. Have a look at the very first result https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/24293-veined-marble-texture/ 5. Try that tutorial and see how close you can get the marble texture to what you require 6. If it's not quite right, post your results here so that people can advise you how to get closer

I'm glad that is resolved now. Were you a long way behind on paint.net versions? Now that you are on the latest version, it would be worth turning on the automatic check for updates in Settings so you always keep up to date: It is better to keep up to date with bug fixes and new features than to keep using an old version. If you receive an update error when the next version is released, then do please ask about it in the forum.

This suggests that you may not be using the latest version of paint.net (5.0.13), which does change its cursor size based on the Windows pointer size setting. This capability was introduced last year in 5.0.10. Below, you can see that I have increased the Windows pointer size to 4 from its usual value of 1. All the paint.net cursors become larger as expected.

I have just clicked on the .zip in the first post and it has downloaded correctly in each of Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Also if I right click and copy the link, then it pastes as expected as https://forums.getpaint.net/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=21189&key=c22a0ce82c264787ef702b21595d1a8c and then downloads the zip correctly. I see nothing wrong here. What browser are you using @Silverdenn?

@fuser3000 You can limit the region being filled by creating a selection. You can read about the Paint Bucket fill tool here: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/PaintBucket.html And the Selection tools here: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/SelectionTools.html You may find that the Magic Wand helps. Please post an image of your character so people can give you specific advice.
