Layers -> Adjustments -> Black & White Layers -> Adjustments -> Invert Colors

Trying something new with regards to funding. It may work great, or it may not, but we gotta see.

Use the Move Selection tool. 2nd row, 2nd column in the Tools window.

Get it via the build-in updater (File->Updates->Check Now), or on the website ( http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ ) This small update fixes some more relatively minor bugs, and makes the built-in updater much more convenient in Windows Vista. Changes: * Built-in updater now works in Vista without having to use "Run as Administrator" beforehand (UAC permission is still required to install updates) * Fixed a color intensity calculation that had Red and Blue swapped (affects Brightness/Contrast adjustment, and some plugins) * Fixed .PDN images with transparency having a black background in their Explorer thumbnail * Fixed crash when an image has bizarre DPI settings (such as 6 billion DPI) * Fixed crash when an image has an invalid resolution unit specified (neither pixels, inches, nor centimeters) * Fixed a few rare race conditions which resulted in crashes * Fixed a rare crash with the history * Fixed crashlog being created when the updates dialog appears over another modal dialog * Fixed crashlog not reporting application version with certain damaged installations * Placed a clickable Windows Live OneCare ad in the Setup wizard

Or I could find a way to make it more intuitive ........ that'd be my goal anyway. Adding a FAQ entry only helps the people who read the FAQ, which is a small number of people.

Moved to General Discussion This isn't a tutorial, nor a request for a specific tutorial. Please post things in the right forum. Edited the title and text Please don't use so many question marks. One is plenty enough.

Who says Teddy has to lose?

Yeah but it's a cartoon so he'd survive.

If you put an arc-shaped highlight in the upper left of that orb, he could be in outer space!

Now aatwo just needs a Teddy vs. Squirrel battle comic.

Did you make the teddy bear in Paint.NET? Post it in the pictorium .... !

aafuss = A. A. Fussy = "Babya Software Group" http://www.teknidermy.com/issue/11/babyafied/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babya_logic He basically goes and rips off free software and VB sample code and calls it his own. "Teddy" is what the members of the shellcity.net forums would use to reply to his inane, over persistent thread postings. Search Google Groups (http://groups.google.com) for "Babya".

All images in Paint.NET are BGRA (same as RGBA, or RGB w/ alpha channel, just a different byte order that doesn't affect you as the end user).

Looks like it crashed because of Image -> CanvasSize. 9600 * 12000 * 4 * 3 = 1382400000 = ~1.3 GB of required virtual address space, plus you need enough memory to hold the original image in memory as well. You'd need to be in 64-bit mode (CPU and OS) to really work with that image. The code for Paint.NET v2.6x isn't organized well enough to throw up an "insufficient memory" error instead in all cases.

I'm planning on making some changes to the way Tools handle this type of stuff anyway, I'll make sure this type of proximity association is implemented in 3.0.

SDI means that when you open "B", that "A" is implicitely closed. The program no longer has it open. You may find the File -> Open in New Window, and File-> New Window menu items useful.

MDI is just an acronym for Multiple Document Interface, SDI is Single Document Interface. Different applications can have their own design and implementation of this. For example, while both Photoshop and Paint.NET v3.0 are MDI, they do not (or will not, rather) have the same UI for managing the multiple documents that are open. There is also TDI, or "Tabbed Document Interface," which is really in my opinion a form of MDI. (In both, you have multiple documents open.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_document_interface http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_d ... _interface http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabbed_document_interface

I work for Microsoft. Anyway there's a place for discussions of Word and Microsoft, but that's not in this forum. This is a Paint.NET forum. So let's just keep the discussion on topic. Paint.NET v3.0, which is still in quite early development, will have MDI. This seems to be what you're looking for. Just don't hold your breath, this is a pretty ambitious release and will take a fair amount of time.

Teddy.

I'm not quite sure how this turned into a anti-Word/Microsoft thread.

No, this is not possible. Paint.NET is currently a single document interface (SDI) application. Compare it to Notepad: you can't have "zero" text files open in Notepad. If you want to work on another text file you either open another copy of Notepad, or you use File->Open to switch Notepad into working on another file.

Please, report the error in the Bugs & Troubleshooting section. This is not the thread to discuss installation errors.

The plugin only works in v2.6x (this is true for all plugins). You will need to upgrade from 2.5, which has been completely discontinued and is not supported anymore.

Renamed topic to be less generic Please do not use generic titles such as "HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!". Imagine if everyone did this: the forum would be full of pages of generic titles, with no way of figuring out what any thread was about.
