Awesome plugin, thanks 😁

I got it to work with my version. I didn't know I had to move the .dll file into the paint.net effects folder manually. It works now but I'm going to update to the latest version anyways. Thanks

Is there a way to make the halftone dots increase in size across the page? I know how to change the size of all the dots, but I'm trying to do the effect where the dots gradually increase from small to large across the page.

I'm getting an error trying to install it. I downloaded the zip file and extracted all, then opened the blendmodeplus.dll and a prompt asks me which program I want to open it with, but when I chose paint.net an error message pops up saying "the image type is not recognized and cannot be opened". I'm using Windows 11 with paint.net version 5.0.3

Edit: Issue Resolved

I have a project with each layer set to various Blend Modes (ie some are Overlay, some are Glow etc) , but when I export the layer images to individual PNG files, they all get saved as if the Blend Mode is set to Normal. So now if I import the PNG files into a new project and try to re-compile everything, none of the layers are blended the way I had them set before. I'm trying to put the image layers into an external NFT generator software and have everything blend the same way it looks in Paint.NET, so is there a way to preserve the blend mode characteristics of each images when exporting to PNG, so that they all blend properly when I put them into the generator software? Thanks

Thanks for all the info 😀

Thanks. Are .PDN files automatically saved as lossless in paint.net? I never see an option to save as lossless, I just select Save As and then chose .PDN from the dropdown file type list and it saves it as a .PDN file. Then when I open the .PDN file, it contains all the PNG layers, but I wasn't sure if that was because I have those PNG files still on my computer, or if it actually creates new copies of the images within the .PDN file. I know some audio software requires you to have every original .wav file to your project saved in the original folder or it won't load your project. So I wasn't sure if Paint.Net worked that way too. I plan to backup everything eventually, but right now I just need the quickest solution as my computer has been acting up and I'm concerned I might lose everything. So if I can just backup the .PDN files and be sure they will contain all the necessary PNG images to each project, that will work for now, and then I can backup all the PNG files later if I'm able to.

Let's say I have a .PDN project with 100 layers of PNG image files imported from a folder on my computer, and I save the whole project as 1 .PDN file but then the folder containing the original PNG files gets deleted by accident. If I still have the .PDN file, will all 100 PNG images still be saved within the project when I open it? I'm trying to backup my projects and basically want to know if I need to backup every PNG file separately, or if I can just backup the .PDN files?
