If you have multi-monitor setup, check your other monitors for the layer window. Or, check the edges of your screen for it. Maybe it is hiding under your taskbar? If nothing else works, try running this program: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=10203

In previous versions, custom shapes looked like this: Now, in version 4.0.9, I just noticed that they look like this: Notice the ones outlined in red are cut off.

The scroll slider did get moved to the bottom right corner of the paint.net window. You can also use Ctrl+mouse wheel to zoom.

Try holding down the shift key while using the mouse scroll wheel. Mouse wheel = vertical scroll Shift+mouse wheel = horizontal scroll Ctrl+mouse wheel = zoom

The question in the first box should be "Is the 'Maintain aspect ratio' box checked?" then paint.net already works like that.

The dialog box means that you can immediately undo the flattening. That is, save your file as jpg, then press Ctrl-Z to undo the flatten. You can not go back to a saved jpg file and undo the flatten from there. Sorry if this was confusing to you.

Do you also get an error when saving in PNG format?

EER, 24x36 is a common poster size here in America... so, I'm going to guess "inches". Also, since she asked if it would be "good for professional printing", I'm going to guess 300dpi would be the minimum.

SzPeto, one thing you must remember about effects in the Object menu: An "object" is a group of pixels on a layer that is completely surrounded by transparent pixels (or the edge(s) of the canvas). These plugins are useful when doing "cutouts" or with text on a new layer.

If you have a multi-monitor setup, look on your other monitor, sometimes they show up there. Look carefully around your screen. Sometimes they are barely visible around the edges. Or, perhaps they are under your task bar.

There's one in there, but I don't think it is working.

CodeLab 2.12 Released This is only for Paint.NET 4.0.9+! Just a small update today... Changes: ▪ Added System.Drawing.Drawing2D to the included assemblies. ▪ Script versions can now start with a 0, as in Version 0.1 ▪ When using the editor with word wrap enabled, you'll see indicators if the lines wrapped. Grab the CodeLab DLL here: http://www.boltbait.com/pdn/CodeLab/

Are those tools really any better than what we already have for photo processing plugins?

Thanks! The UI is getting pretty long as it is. But, something like that shouldn't be too hard to add. This plugin is actually on my list for a rewrite. So, after I finish my current project, I'll give it a go. BTW, have you checked out the evanolds plugin I linked to in my original post? It may have the controls you're searching for. (It's been so long since I played with it, I can't remember.)

Verified. Nice job! BTW, I love the quote in your signature. My daughter is in a college C++ course right now and I'm helping her with her homework. I had forgotten what a PITA C++ was... Ugh!

This png file came out wrong:

I'm not sure if it was upgrading to 1.0.0.5 or trying to save it on a different machine... But, it worked that time!

Thanks. That was a tough one to find. I'll post a new version of CodeLab tomorrow.

I didn't have a problem with loading (since I was loading png icon files). As it turns out, I was able to save all but 1 file. I'll try again in about 2 hours when I get home and post the png file if it still won't save.

Hmmm... plugin may have a bug in it... I'm trying to do about 20 of these little images and I notice that many times when I go to save one, it will never show me the preview. It sticks saying, "(computing)" and never finishes. If I press Save when it is in this state, it never saves the file and I have to kill paint.net with the task manager. Can you look into it and possibly fix? The files I'm trying to save are small, 16x16 icons with some transparency which is why I can't use BMP format (which always seems to work). I've used it successfully to save larger images, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

This is a political cartoon that I stitched together in paint.net from other political cartoons.

I'm not sure it is a good idea to have an empty Render function. You should probably be writing to the DST surface for every pixel. Something like this: void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect) { // Call the copy function dst.CopySurface(src,rect.Location,rect); }

Host your image somewhere, like photobucket, and link it here and we'll take a look. BTW, if the seam area isn't too busy (like blue skys, etc.), try selecting the area and use Effects > Noise > Median. You might also try this plugin: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=4591

Paint.net is not a word processor! It's text capabilities are limited. Your best bet might be to start your work in Microsoft Word. Or, if you want a free graphics editor with that type of flexibility, try Inkscape.
