You follow these instructions: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewt ... 5033#15033

Use the File > Save As... menu. In the Save As... dialog box, under the file name, there is a "Save As Type" drop-down box. Select the desired type from that list.

If you want, you can flatten the image and save in any format you want. Or, if you really want to save in a different format than the native PDN, you can download a photoshop plugin here: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1238

The point is to save your images for archival purposes in PDN format so that you can edit them later. Then, save your pictures in JPG, GIF, or PNG for portable use (such as on a web page).

I'm working on a new pastel effect plugin. Before -> after: I'm not quite happy with it yet. But, its close.

Rick, once you have this done, you could easily use this to create a Transparency Tool that does basically the same thing but it fades from fully opaque to fully transparent modifying only the alpha channel. This is one of my favorite tools in CorelDraw/PhotoPaint.

Can we get something similar for the selection tools? It drives me crazy that it doesn't switch to the Move Selected Pixels tool after I make a selection. The only selection tool that I usually want to stay with after making a selection is the magic wand. Also, are these still on the plate for 3.0? Arrows Line Node Selection Merge Down Thanks.

If it was hard to write it should be hard to read... Besides, I do all of my coding in Codelab, which doesn't exactly have command completion.

heh. like me. But, I refuse to run it. I'll just wear my glasses instead.

angle = Math.Atan2(yD,xD)*(180 / Math.PI);

Illnab1024, take a look at my render function case 7 (Conical). You should see the Atan2 function.

Yes, when I said "Large Fonts mode" that is exactly what I was referring to: 120 DPI. Being able to change the DPI of the system causes me more headaches than you can imagine. All of the software that I develop for Intel is localized into 5-15 languages. And, many foreign languages default to 120 DPI mode.

I would like to have a few ... uh... "words" with the person responsible for inventing Large Fonts mode.

He may be running in "Large Fonts" mode.

The slider is still there. Its just now called V under the HSV section.

No. Just, no. In fact, just come over here so I can smack you around some. I suggest you create your gradiant on a separate layer and then use the layer rotation function. This wouldn't be too hard to add--except for the diagonal fades. Just thinking about the diagonal fades gives me a headache. Rick, that would be more handy than you can imagine! Hey, if nothing else this is proving educational for me when I go to write stuff for v3.0's gradient tool Heh. All of the gradiants are pretty straight forward except for the diagonal ones. Good luck with those. The code looks deceptively simple.

Ha. I had found this error. But, I didn't say anything because I didn't want you to put it back the way it was.

Maybe this will help you understand: Going from orange to blue... RGB follows a straight path across the color wheel. HSV follows a curved path around the color wheel. HSV Long follows a curved path taking the long way around the color wheel. Other than for making rainbows, why do we need HSV fades? Well, for short distances on the wheel, like from dark blue to cyan, HSV will give a similar but more vibrant fade than RGB. Clear? BTW, the render function went from 200 lines of code to over 500 for something that I don't think anyone will ever use. Please prove me wrong. Show me something done with one of the HSV fades. Make me feel better about spending a whole day on this. http://boltbait.googlepages.com/Gradient.dll Download, install, profit.

OK, so I just now ran Paint.net and as soon as it was open, I ran codelab. While codelab was open, PdN prompted me to upgrade (as you just posted the new build). I thought, "this will be interesting..." so I said, "Sure!" Well, it couldn't close PdN as code lab was still open. So, during the install process, it told me to go close PdN. "Cool," I thought, "it just might work..." until I pressed the Cancel button on Codelab. Crash. This text file was created because Paint.NET crashed. Please e-mail this file to paint.net@hotmail.com so we can diagnose and fix the problem.

Yeah, if I can get the HSV fades to work... Nothing like a little deadline pressure EDIT: I've made the changes to the Render function. Now for Illnab1024 to put the final UI on it. It will now do HSV fades like the one you see above. Major props goes out to evanolds for writing the RGBtoHSV and HSVtoRGB routines that I used for the HSV fades.

Needs more cowbell.

If only we could specify an icon with codelab... Hmmm... I'm going to have to look at the source code for that thing...

BTW, you can read more about the plugin here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/32048-v Enjoy.
