It's not about the money, it's about the time.

4.0 will come out when it does.

Upgrade to Paint.NET v3.0. Your screenshot shows you are using 2.72.

It's a fresh month, I've upgraded the hosting account for getpaint.net, and the source code is now available again on the Download page. Thanks for your patience.

That flashing "Cording" picture is really annoying.

I see it on download.com

Where's that from?

Please be patient, I'm trying to find a good host for it. Coral Cache went psycho and zapped me with 1TB of bandwidth usage over 24 hours. That doesn't tend to make the hosting provider very happy (or me!). I'm hoping to have a good solid host by tomorrow.

For video tutorials, I'd recommend going to YouTube and/or Google Video and just searching for "paint.net" or "paint.net tutorial". There's at least 1 or 2.

Please make sure you post in the correct forum. Moved to Bugs & Troubleshooting

You don't have to uninstall before installing the new version, it handles that automatically. In fact you can just run the installer with the /skipConfig command-line parameter to have it do exactly the same thing that the auto-update does. That is, it doesn't ask you any questions, you don't have to accept the license agreement (because you already have in the update scenario!), it just installs it. As for the HTTP 500 error: I don't know. I haven't seen it myself. Your two reports are the only ones that I know of. The server that the updates are coming from is a large mirror network managed by BetaNews. In any case I've reported this to the BetaNews guys, hopefully the problem will be gone if it isn't already!

You open them both within the same window. Just use File->Open twice.

This is not a website/web design/HTML help forum, sorry.

Sounds like either an interim problem, or a problem outside of Paint.NET's control (or both, more likely)

The code that loads up fonts is the same as it was in 2.72. So if you "lost" fonts, it is not because of Paint.NET.

Well, Bob, it's not necessarily supposed to be localizable. You have to separately come up with catch phrases that work for each language. For example, in English the new Vista marketing slogan, "The wow starts now", works because 'now' rhymes with 'wow' -- but that's not necessarily true for other languages post-translation.

Ok I'm throwing this out there possibly to fuel someone else's creative spark because I don't have time to do this myself At least not at the moment. Anyway one of the slogans I was thinking of for any "marketing" or ego-posters or whatever was: Obviously it's a jab at other imaging software that I personally feel does a poor job in this area by essentially shouldering the entire responsibility of workspace organization on to the user.

Did you read the readme.txt in the programs/dot_net_2_0 directory?

Did you manage to take advantage of the Quantize() method that's new in 3.0?

Yes, this is how the drawing is done. This is not actually a bug and is by design -- although the design may be perceived as incorrect and in need of change.

Thanks!

Yes, PNG. Paint.NET's GIF support is purposely second-class. I'd much rather people use PNG.

Try playing with the Transparency Threshold when you save the GIF. The reason this is happening is that the edges of the font are partially transparent pixels. GIF only supports fully opaque or fully transparent, so these pixels must be saddled on one of those extremes.
