No this new algorithm doesn't work with pixels, it works with the vertices of the polygon that you're drawing. Do a search for "Efficient Clipping of Arbitrary Polygons" and maybe you'll find it. It's actually an intuitive algorith, I was surprised, definitely easier than Vatti's algorithm, but like I said it's tricky to implement (but much less so than Vatti's).
Right now the performance of this operation in Paint.NET will be proportional to the number of pixels inside the bounding box of the selection (both the original plus what you are adding/removing). The new one will have performance proportional to the number of vertices in the selection's polygon.

I'm trying to keep the Plugins section strictly for, well, the plugins themselves.

I would request to ad a list of shortcuts in the help file.
It's already in there. "Keyboard and Mouse Commands" or something.
I would find it helpfull if you could use the "+" button to zoom in and the"-" button to zoom out.
Read the help file, you'll find it.
I request an icon for auto level because I need it every time I edit the pics from my cam and it needs 3 clicks. Also icons to rotate in 90 degres would be fine (at least for me).They both have keyboard shortcuts.
I request to move the Sepia effect to move where it belongs, to the effects sektionAgain, it has a keyboard shortcut.

Renamed thread title from "what is this" to "what is marquee"
Please use non-generic thread titles, otherwise the forum becomes full of non-descript threads. Thanks.

paperwings, your avatar was WAY too big. I've deleted it for now. Please choose something smaller, up to about 128x128 pixels.

It's just the algorithm we're using right now, it's very brute force and slow. A more efficient algorithm is very complicated (there's a reason Adobe gets the big bucks), and I'm hoping to implement it for our next release (v3.0). I already understand the new algorithm, it's just very tricky to implement correctly.

What is "slicing" and why do you need to use MS Paint for it?
-
That's how it works right now. I'm still figuring out if it's feasible to implement another solution, especially because almost everybody is still using a 32-bit OS and have grossly limited virtual addressing space (2GB). Yet another reason to really consider going to 64-bit.

Maybe a sample picture or screenshot would help.

No, why would there be?
-
It's hard to memorize the hex codes for more than a few colors, and hardly convenient.
This is a high priority feature for v3.0.

We used the mathematical descriptions of many blend ops from here:

*shrug* Might simply be more entertaining to keep him around for awhile.

Oh, he was definitely banned!

The world does not exist solely to provide you with free airbrush software.
There hasn't been a major release since you... <_ ...>Oh you mean since I banned him.

Oh, and I suppose this is 'by design', but when I erase some pixels from a top layer, pixels from a lower layer show through (which is the behavior I was hoping for.) Kinda neat.
That's about as "by design" as they come

Illnab, let's skip past the ethnic/racial stereotypes in here ...

Certainly not anytime soon. I've done a lot of thinking about this style of UI, and I'm not sure it's useful for an app like Paint.NET. I'd hate to implement it just for the sake of "me too!"

Oh you mean like George?

Nobody claimed Paint.NET was going to be exactly like Photoshop ...

We can't help you. Please stop making posts about this problem which has nothing to do with Paint.NET.

That's ClearType rendering on XP, it makes things look better on LCD's. Completely normal, it's a Windows thing not Paint.NET.
