  1. Why're you using Rotate/Zoom? Just use the Move Selected Pixels tool. Right-click drag to rotate, and it'll do the pixelation you want if you use the toolbar dropdown that barkbark00 mentioned. And hold shift to constrain it to an angle that's an even multiple of 15.
  2. pyrochild sounds right on the money. Easiest thing might be to just uninstall Microsoft .NET Framework from the control panel (Add/Remove Programs), and then download+install this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... da479ab0d7
  3. You probably have removed .NET 3.0 somehow (yes, 3.0, not 3.5). Download and installed this, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... da479ab0d7
  4. You should also strongly consider moving to a 64-bit edition of Windows.
  5. The answer in the FAQ is pretty unambiguous. Thread Closed
  6. Sharp/Smooth is no longer necessary. If you want to disable antialiasing, which "Sharp" sometimes indirectly provided, that button is farther to the right side of the toolbar.
  7. It means you have other software installed which is causing the problem. Probably something that adds commands to the right-click menu on files/folders, or something that handles thumbnails for certain file types.
  8. Why would you have to rescan the image? Just change the DPI back to what you want it to be from Image->Resize. DPI is just a number stamped into the image that affects printing. The image's pixel content and pixel size are unaffected. Also, I cannot reproduce this. Some of the beta releases of 3.5 had this problem, but it has been fixed.
  9. Depends on what the application is intended for. If you want pure green, just click More>> and type in 0,255,0 for the R,G,B values. The palette in Paint.NET isn't something that's stored in the image, and doesn't limit the colors you can use at any given time. It's basically just a list of shortcuts. All 16.7 million colors are always available.
  10. I have no idea why mspaint is giving you 64dpi. Resolution (DPI) is just a number that's written into the image file. Changing it causes the image to print at a different size, but doesn't affect the pixels. To change the DPI just go to Image->Resize and type in a new number for resolution. Then click OK.
  11. That should all work just fine. However, you'll need to make sure .NET 3.5 SP1 is already installed, which you can find an offline installer for on the Microsoft download site. It's pretty big though.
  12. I'm guessing he meant 3.5, not 3.6. The following progression of version numbers wreaks havok on all of us not-completely-non-dyslexic people: 3.3, 3.35, 3.36, 3.5, (3.6). Lots of 3's, 5's, and 6's. I've been running Win7 x64 almost all year. It's what I use to develop Paint.NET on, and it's absolutely compatible and supported. I do upgrade installs of Paint.NET almost every day with no issues. The auto-uninstall sounds like it's something else entirely on your system, and not related to Paint.NET.
  13. No. Only the icons that I used which were covered by the LGPL license are in there. You should be able to extract the icons from Pdn.Resources.dll using Reflector (I assume).
  14. If you have a lot of plugins, they will affect post-startup performance. There hasn't been much time spent optimizing that yet, but good things are planned.
  15. Yeah that's a known issue, and it's transient. A reboot or logoff/login fixes it.
  16. Thanks to everyone who helped out with the extensive alpha and beta releases with all the bug reports, crash log submissions, and feedback. It has all been a huge help in creating the best Paint.NET release ever. As usual there are two ways to get it: 1. Preferred: Use the built-in updater from within Paint.NET. If you are using version 3.36, go to the Help menu and then Check for Updates. For v3.5 alpha/beta, go to the Utilities menu instead of the Help menu. Or just wait for the update dialog to come up automatically within the next week or so. 2. Download directly from the website, http://www.getpaint.net/ . There is no need to uninstall the old version; that will be taken care of automatically. Changes since version 3.36: * New: Refreshed user interface with new icons and visual styling. On Windows 7 and Vista, it is enhanced for Aero and "glass". * New effect: Blurs -> Surface Blur, by Ed Harvey * New effect: Distort -> Dents, by Ed Harvey * New effect: Distort -> Crystalize, by Ed Harvey * New: Russian translation. * Performance and memory usage have been extensively optimized throughout the entire program. * .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is now required, which has many built-in performance improvements. * Disk space usage has been reduced by about 12MB by using NTFS compression on installation files related to staging (.MSI) and diagnostics (.PDB). * Compression for .PDN images has been improved. * Effect dialog responsiveness has been improved. * Images open much faster, especially on single CPU systems. * Startup performance on most systems will be better by about 20%. * Memory usage has been reduced when more than one image is open. * Rendering quality has been greatly improved when zoomed in. * The selection outline is no longer animated. Instead of "dancing ants", a context-sensitive "XOR" stipple pattern is drawn. This has allowed for improved performance and lowered CPU consumption (and longer battery life). * The font manager for the Text tool has been completely rewritten, which fixes many problems seen with crashes and missing fonts. * On Windows XP, the Text tool has improved reliability and font selection (it uses GDI instead of GDI+). * On Windows 7, the Text tool will use DirectWrite (instead of GDI) which gives better performance and greatly improved quality. On Windows Vista, you may install DirectX 11 to enable this feature; otherwise GDI will be used. * The toolbar font list has improved usability, rendering quality, and significantly improved performance. * The toolbar font list no longer requires an application restart to recognize newly installed fonts. * When many fonts are installed, both memory usage and startup performance have been greatly improved. * It is now drastically easier to move a very small selection. * All installation prerequisites are now installed automatically, such as .NET and Windows Installer. * Updates are now downloaded in the background, and installed after you exit the application. In previous versions, this was a foreground task and you could not use Paint.NET while the update was downloaded. * Added a "Utilities" menu. Updates, Languages, and Plugin Errors have been moved there. * Added a "Manage Fonts" command to the Utilities menu. This will launch the built-in Windows font control panel. * Clicking the middle mouse button on an image thumbnail will now close the image. * Improved the Unfocus effect. * The DirectDraw Surface (.DDS) file type now allows you to select the resampling algorithm for auto-generated mip-maps. * A processor that supports SSE is now required (almost all CPUs purchased this decade satisfy this). * Fixed an issue with Gaussian Blur and its treatment of alpha values. * Fixed a crash with the "Units" selector in the toolbar. * Fixed a crash due to an overflow that prevented very large images from working (64-bit only). * Fixed many other miscellaneous glitches and crashes. * The Korean translation has been removed. Sadly, we were unable to find the resources to complete this. Enjoy!
  17. How is this different than just selecting an area and rotating it with the Move Selected Pixels tool? That uses bilinear resampling.
  18. asheldon, This is not a forum for C#, .NET, or programming questions. You will need to find help elsewhere. Thread Closed
