    Feature Request: Color Picking with Middle Mouse Button or Ctrl

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    I don't want to bash your request, all valid points there.

    But I can't recommend Autohotkey (https://autohotkey.com/) enough. Even though I don't understand 90% of what it does :)
    You can change all keybinds and paint.net behavior (one shortcut export png, jpg, gif and so on, create custom templates, hide/show panels, maybe even add adjustments and filters, now that I think of it, I'll try that too).

    For example, set mouse wheel left tilt for Color picker and mouse wheel right tilt for pencil or paintbrush.
      

    ; paint.net
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe paintdotnet.exe")
WheelLeft::  ; Change to Color picker
{
    Send "k"  ;
}
WheelRight::  ; Change to Pencil
{
    Send "p"  ;
}

    Custom Keybinds

    Updated script to match the process name

    Hello @Marylandball Productions, there is a small application AutoHotkey: https://www.autohotkey.com/
     

    You can change keyboard shortcuts for paint.net and other software too.
    Here is a sample where F12 replaces Ctrl + Shift + S:

      

    ; paint.net
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe paintdotnet.exe")
F12::  ; Replace Ctrl + Shift + S with F12
{
    Send "^+s"  ; Ctrl + Shift + S, Save as
}

     

    If you want to try it out, first download and install AutoHotkey.
    Then paste a sample above into Notepad (or more powerful text editors) and save as choose-your-filename.ahk

    Double click on a saved file and you are good to go.
    Also check AutoHotkey documentation on how to write custom shortcuts (^ is Ctrl, ! is Alt, + is Shift).

    You can create scripts to export jpg, png, gif with custom shortcuts or even a really great full screen preview by @Tactilis

    The new version: Forum-Thank-You.png128x128.

    Here it is at 20x20 (not so good)

    With dark theme it really fits. For 20px version only: how about adding outline (2-3px on 128 version), resize to 20px, paint the tip to blue color and sharpen (about 0.5)
    This is what I got playing around:

    Removing greyscale, and converting to 'black or white'

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    However,  one of the 'S' layers I filled doesn't respond to the wand - if I  want to try a different fill pattern in one part of it for a momentary comparison. In contiguous mode it makes a small blinking dot wherever I've clicked; in global it's a blue spinning circle that that doesn't accumulate.

     

    Hey @Squirmish just got the same issue with coloring selected parts. All except two parts were colored correctly. In my case it was a Layer blend mode. When I changed back to Normal, color appeared.

    additional info

    Change from Antialiased to Aliased rendering (Recolor Tool options at the top - 5th icon after Tolerance, or 2nd from the right).

    "The Recolor Tool can be rendered with an aliased (jagged) or antialiased (smoothed) edge. This toggle selects which mode will be used.

    If aliasing is selected, the Hardness setting will be ignored."

    Trying to remove that with the magic wand and playing with tolerance is proving difficult. I'll need to add it directly afterwards.

    AA's Assistant is a really great plugin for softening hard edges (run after using Magic Wand or any Selection tools, good for blur too):

    I would attach an image of what I'm trying to achieve, but can't work out how to get my  already compressed 1MB file down to 256kb.

    Upload image to imgur.com or imgbox.com (10MB limit per image) and share here.

    Confusion WIth Bolt Bait's Alpha Mask

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

     I am attempting to use Boltbait's, as Illnab1024's plugin, which is called for in the Gold Metal tutorial by Sarkut is too old for current versions of PDN. 

     

    Apparently, I do not understand how Boltbait's is supposed to work.

     

     

    If you want to use CTRL+A, CTRL+C, CTRL+D (following Gold Metal tutorial) then go with BoltBait's Paste Alpha plugin. Works just like lllab1024's plugin.
