This thread will help you learn to code your own plugins: Good luck.

I made a new photochop: Too subtle?

Sounds to me that you are using Microsoft Paint and not paint.net.

How big is the image? How many layers? Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit windows? Which version of paint.net are you running?

You need to run this tool: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed to uninstall paint.net. After that, try a fresh install of paint.net.

After selecting the magic wand, try reducing the Tolerance slider in the toolbar.

rtz is an rtf file that has been compressed. CodeLab compresses the help files to save space. You can use the following utility to compress your rtf file for embedding: CompressV2.zip (This was written by me. It compresses the help file the same way CodeLab does. It can also uncompress a file.) BTW, I don't want any bug reports on this utility. I wrote it for my own use and am sharing it now because I'm such a nice guy.

Have you ever considered using Microsoft OneNote?

Try this plugin:

Easy. Paint.net uses Window's theme colors. Instructions for Windows 10: Right-click on the desktop > Personalize > Themes > Theme Settings > High Contrast Black

7 across: another word for donkey

Yeah, don't do that.

It looks to me that you are using Microsoft Paint, not "paint.net". This is a forum for paint.net. You would do better to seek help on a Microsoft forum. I'm sorry, but we simply can not help you here.

Click on your top layer (Layer 5) in the layers list box. (In your screenshot, the background layer is selected--as shown by the blue background.) You need to have your uppermost layer selected. Then, click on the add layer button. Draw on that new layer.

I'm glad you figured out that you need to save your image in a format that preserves the transparency, like PNG. Saving your image as JPG simply won't work as the JPG format doesn't support transparency. By the way, GIF will also work, if your image is 256 colors or less. I still prefer PNG though.

First, read the forum rules: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/2932-read-first-the-rules-yes-you-read-this-2013-12-21/ Then, edit the title of your thread to be more appropriate. Finally, better describe what types of edits you wish to make.

That's right. You'll need to compile, then copy the dll file into the proper paint.net directory in order to test. Just follow the instructions in the tutorial I posted above and the output of VS will be DLL and not EXE. All the instructions are given in the tutorial for moving a CodeLab script to a VS project. Those instructions will NOT change your project into something that can use a custom UI--it will still be using IndirectUI.

Please read the "Problems during Download" section of this page: Rick does not include any viruses/spyware/etc. in the official download. However, unscrupulous people have taken paint.net and added their own crap to it and published it making it look official... just know that it is not under Rick's control. If you want the official distribution of paint.net you must download it from the page I just linked you above.

All of the best removing background techniques require plug-ins.

There is an option on the Save to DLL screen that will force your effect to run in a single thread. It is true that your effect will still be broken up into ROI's. But, your Render routine will be called with them one at a time (top to bottom, left to right) in order.

Same.
