<snip - this post is outdated.>

The only change is here: Selections can now be aliased (hard edges) or anti-aliased (soft edges). Everything else is the same.

Starting with 4.0, the proper way to spell it is: paint.net Pre-4.0: Paint.NET

Why would you run CCleaner? There's only 2 reasons, as far as I can see: 1) You're having a problem with your system - Instead of letting CCleaner run wild in your registry, I find it better to just deal with the specific problem you're having. A little Googling should get you to a specific answer to that problem. or 2) You're NOT having a problem you just think you should run a registry cleaner once in a while to keep your system "tuned up" - This couldn't be more stupid. If your system is running fine, there is NO REASON to run something like this.

That's a GREAT place to start. My advice: NEVER use CCleaner. It tends to cause more problems than it fixes.

OK, looks to me that you have some major problem with your registry. I'm not sure how to fix that, but paint.net won't work right until that problem is solved.

If you find paint.net in the start menu, right-click on it and choose "run as administrator". Do you still get the same problem then?

Here's an idea: Get rid of Norton's Anti-Virus. Seriously, it is the worst anti-virus program out there. There are free ones that are WAY better than Norton's.

You would probably be better off writing a custom file format plugin.

As you wish...

Verified. I wonder if this is a bug or a limitation of the output format. Zoom in and check the edges of this circle. The alpha was converted to the secondary color during the save process.

Time to clean out your plugin folder.

I can only expose what Rick has given us to work with. Sorry, Paint.NET doesn't have those controls.

Boy, have I got you fooled! Anyway, it allows an effect that is running to end faster if the user changes a UI control or cancels an effect. It is not necessary, but sometimes it can make your UI more responsive. I put it in the Y loop so it only checks once per row. If your effect is especially slow, you might want to move it to the X loop. I did that ONCE in all my plugins.

Check through the plugin development forum. I recall posting about it in there. I'll see if I can find it. As I recall it was very rough. EDIT: Found it. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/18105-

Nope, it won't do that, but even though Ink Sketch is built-in, it is open source and is guaranteed to stay that way. You can see the source code here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/3474-

How much different is this than the built-in Effects > Artistic > Ink Sketch ?

That's why they pay* me the BIG bucks. *Not actually true.

Well, this thread has some good info: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/18931-

Search around this forum for "1603" and try those steps to fix the problem.

Try clicking the gear in the upper right corner and switching off Hardware Acceleration. Does that help?
