Maybe next release. I have to set a cutoff date at some point -- otherwise this thing would never get done!

Yes just set Blend Mode to Difference.

Actually I found the icon over here, http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/

Different implementation (not based on his code), and simpler UI. But yes, same idea. This way all PDN users get to have Clouds.

Looks like Tom was able to sneak in one last effect. There is still the matter of that other thing that I've not announced yet ... so of course, stay tuned

Do NOT bump requests. I heard you already. Locked

1) Just invert the values of the primary and secondary colors Transparency - Alpha and you'll get what you want. 2) I'm reversing the direction of the fade for the upcoming Beta 1 release. It just seems weird to me that the point I start drawing from is the transparency anchor instead of vice-versa.

I was planning to do something for this in 3.0 but it just didn't make the cut in the time that was available. The design is to put some text entry boxes up in the toolbar. When you draw a rectangle selection, for instance, these text boxes will be populated with the dimensions you have drawn. You can then edit the text to be the exact size you want the selection to be (you can also type in values before drawing the selection, of course).

I don't know anything about this type of tool you're talking about. You'd have to post an example image that has made use of it.

Total worldwide downloads is in the 4-5 million range. I have no idea how many are exclusively in Canada, we've never had that kind of information.

jake, Sweet ... now where's the tutorial for it?

Yeah I don't follow your description. I'll need a screenshot.

No it wouldn't. Skins are the biggest waste of development effort ever.

it's Windows Vista

Uhh no

I can't comment officially (both because I don't know and because I wouldn't be allowed to), but I can pretty much assure you 100% that won't happen. Service Packs aren't generally meant to revamp existing features like that.

Uh no ... I'm using Vista right now and Paint is pretty much the same it's always been. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Msvistapaint.png

Well there's a few [very] small features left to go for the 3.0 release, and the beta should be out within a week or so. Please note that with the beta release v3.0 is considered "feature complete." This means there will be no more added features. The remaining time until the February release will be spent on bug fixing, stabilization, and something else I'm hoping to announce soon enough. * Edit -> Fill Selection. Every once in awhile, while using Paint.NET, I get the sudden urge to need a feature like this. I've selected an area and I want to fill it without having to, 1) switch to paint bucket, 2) set tolerance to 100%, 3) shift+click. Now I can just hit backspace. * Hotkey adjustment of brush size. Everyone's always asking me for this and it make sense to add it. Now you can click the + or - in the toolbar or use [ and ], or Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] to go in steps of 5. * And ok you guys strong-armed me. Right-click on the color swatch will set the secondary color. But only in the swatch, not the color wheel.

What barkbark00 said. That's what layers are for. They provide a level of functionality that goes way beyond MS Paint's horrible and disgusting hacks.

C'mon guys. Locked

This is mentioned in the FAQ. There's even something in the Tutorials section about it. There IS a search facility on this forum. Use it. I swear, it's like this question gets asked every 15 seconds or something. Locked

Cool ... although please post these in the Pictorium post at the top of this forum! Locked

jake2k, I already told you to chill out. I don't like to give second warnings. This is not a forum for keeping score and investing in grudges. If you don't have something decent to say, then don't say anything at all. I don't care how awesome or not-awesome something is. Got it?

Whoa man chill out. Instead of being a jerk about it why don't you guys point him in the right direction, that of making a banner that really rocks?
