In the Popular Feature Requests thread, Rick states: That is right from the developer of Paint.NET. So...

If you are doing professional print work, you should probably be using Photoshop.

This thread is punny.

There are some hints on the circle text topic:

Try dpy's plugin pack:

That is the correct link. Maybe there is a problem with your scanner software. Have you tried their support?

This is a known issue:

After deleting the background, have you tried one of the feather plugins in my plugin pack?

From 2009: http://sixrevisions.com/graphics-design/10-excellent-open-source-and-free-alternatives-to-photoshop/ But, it's new to me.

Try the Ink Sketch effect and turn the color slider all the way down.

Reading your post gives me the sense that you've never played with plugins to Paint.NET. You might want to download the various plugin packs that are "stickied" in the Plugin forum. For example: There is a "feather" plugin in my plugin pack. You may also like my "Color Balance" effect plugin. For instructions on how to download and install plugins, look here: http://www.boltbait.com/pdn/InstallingEffects.php Hope this helps.

If you have my plugin pack installed, you can use the Adjustment > Transparency function to increase the opacity of the pixels.

Somehow the plugin pack I uploaded on Oct 30 had a bad plugin in it. The Object > Outline plugin was built without a color selector (so it was only able to draw a red outline). I only discovered the error last night when I went to use it. Anyway, I changed the plugin in the pack to an older version that does allow the color of outline to be specified. Sorry for the mistake. Next time I update my pack I'll do a proper update to that plugin.

Rick does not accept outside help developing the Paint.NET program itself. However, you are free to develop any plugins you wish.

You may want to try one of the effects in my plugin pack. The Effects > Selection > Feather can do what you want. Download here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/8318-

You might want to download fresh copies of all the plugins you use on a regular basis. Many plugins (including mine) have had a refresh lately.

Try reducing the transparency/alpha of the primary color before using the clone tool. Set it somewhere around 50% or less. Bottom right corner of this window:
