You could use @Red ochre's StringAndPin plugin to build up the image layer by layer - but it would be tediously slow to do.

Welcome to the forum @curchack All aspects of printing from paint.net are handled by the Windows printing app, so you are running into limitations of that app. Here is a better solution if you want more control over printing:

I didn't try the plugin but was just going by the text in @AtariSMN82's post, which says:

@unrelatedacc Please post an example source image that you want to apply the blur effect to.

@MylarDaleTolo A Google search of the forum using site:https://forums.getpaint.net bayer shows that these two plugins mention Bayer: SimulateColorDepth https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/20096-simulate-color-depth AdvDith https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/116760-advdith-1-bit-dithers

This seems long winded and is likely unnecessary. Could you show an example of what you want to enlarge please and I'm sure people will be able to help you. [Topic moved from Plugin Developer's Central to the Paint.NET Discussion and Questions forum]

It is not possible for a plugin to do what you ask.

Have you searched using the Plugin Index? https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/15260-plugin-index/

@Billy Pilgrim please note: 1. The OP, Vivian Alexander, has not visited the forum since September 2021 so you are unlikely to get any response from them. 2. And in any case, Vivian Alexander is not the creator of the video. It was created by a YouTube user called Yakobelt, so you won't get an answer from them here. 3. The video was made 10 years ago using paint.net 3.5.10. The usage in the current version of paint.net may well be different. 4. You have revived a thread that is long dead. Please read the Forum Rules and note Rule #11. 5. Please do not write in all caps, as it comes across as shouting. Please read the Forum Rules and note Rule #3. You are a long term member of the forum, so you should know the above. Please start a new topic and explain clearly what you are trying to achieve, and where you are getting stuck. People will give you help there.

This is not currently possible in paint.net's line/curve tool. See the Documentation at https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/LineCurveTool.html

Yes, that a valid method too. There's no way to do that across multiple images directly in paint.net. It could be scripted in paint.net using AutoHotkey but that's not trivial to do. I'd look at scripting the merging of images using G'MIC: https://gmic.eu/tutorial/ You could create a .PNG image of the appropriate size containing your correction (the white state Bearn in your example) on a background of transparent pixels. Using G'MIC you could merge the Correction.png file onto each of your map slide files.

Yes you can. Two ways: 1. File -> Open and select the files in the normal way (Ctrl click for individual files or Shift click for a range) 2. In File Explorer, select multiple files and drag them into the paint.net window. You can't do this in paint.net but there may be other ways. Please show an example couple of slides with the "little mistakes" and what you'd want to paste in as the correction. Is the pasted correction to be placed in the same position each time?

Your requested feature, I am sure, will never be added to paint.net: 1. The feature is very niche, whereas capabilities are added to paint.net on the basis that they will be useful to a wide range of people. 2. paint.net has no batch processing capabilities, so there would be considerable development to provide this. You are better off looking at IrfanView's Batch capabilities, assuming it can load the image format you use for sprites:

@Northerner welcome to the forum. Glad you like the superb paint.net that @Rick Brewster has created. However, before posting again, please read all the Forum Rules Typing in all caps is considered shouting. There's no need to do this. See Rule #3. Also, you have revived a year old thread. See Rule #11. Finally, note that paint.net does respond to the Windows Scale setting. I've just checked this for 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and the icons do change size as expected. If this is not working for you, then please start a new topic so we can help you there.

@fleshandbonedesign You can easily create a palette yourself and you can share it here if you wish. See the Documentation at https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithPalettes.html

That's a good approach but you could save a step by doing the drawing on the transparent background layer. Starting with a new image: 1. Ctrl+A to Select All 2. Delete to Erase Selection; this gives you a transparent background layer 3. Draw your circle 4. Save as PNG

1. Draw your circle. 2. Use the Magic Wand tool to select the area outside the circle. 3. Edit -> Erase Selection (or just press the Delete key) to erase the selected pixels, replacing them with transparent. 4. File -> Save As (or press Ctrl+Shift+S) and save your image as a .PNG file. I suspect you have been saving as a JPG image. PNG supports transparency. JPG does not.

@buk 1. Stop shouting. 2. Quit this repeated 'Hide contents' nonsense. It just wastes people's time repeatedly clicking to see what you wrote. 3. Report properly in what way it "doesn't work" for you. FYI, the plugin works OK for me on paint.net 5.0.13

Welcome to the forum @marksibly ChatGPT is not a accurate source of information, nor an efficient means of finding out how to do things in paint.net. I had to prompt it several times in different ways on how to adjust the size of, or move the position of a selection, before it eventually generated any reference to using a Move tool - and even then its response contained incorrect and incomplete information: @toe_head2001 has pointed you to the relevant page of the paint.net Documentation, which answers your immediate question. But as you were unaware of the Move tools, I suspect there is much else you have yet to discover. So I would urge to spend some time working your way through the whole of the well written Documentation; you'll learn a lot. Click the Help icon top right in paint.net or just press F1 to take you straight there.

Your requirement is very niche. You need a completely different tool for this.

Go the the Plugin Index and search on: ☑️ Effect ☑️ Any Status ☑️ Current Version ☑️ Legacy (4.x) ☑️Legacy (3.x) Menu: Effects > Distort That filters the list down to 94 plugins, which will be simple enough to look through until you find the one you want.

@jamanda - as @toe_head2001 says, you can't copy shapes in that way. This thread explains how to copy and paste an area containing a shape (or anything else): It links to another thread that requests the capability to copy a shape directly while drawing it (as you thought you could do): The best way to draw/move/copy shapes is to place them on their own layers. If you have not used layers extensively so far, then it's worthwhile reading the Documentation on this. Click the paint.net Help icon top right then Layers -> Working With Layers or go directly here https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html

Please could you post your original image.

Welcome to the forum @fov. If you go to the Plugin Index and search for Stripes you will find some possibilities. Assuming that your original image is simply a white line drawing on a black background, then it looks as though the Interlace plugin may do what you want.
