This is your grid. Just turn it off in the toolbar.

No matter where the window opens, someone will complain. Saving the locations of all windows creates a technological challenge... Is the location still available? Maybe the screen is currently turned off for your multi-monitor setup. Did the resolution change? Did the screen geometry change? 100% vs. 150%, etc. Since there is no way to keep everyone happy, Rick chooses to take the route with the least code changes: open new windows in the center of your workspace.

When looking at recent pictures of my belly, I need a “deflate tool”.

Please don’t presume... The source code is over half a million lines and VERY complex.

Yup. That’ll do it!

I’ve tried my binoculars and a telescope, but I still can’t see your screen... Could you post the exact error message you’re seeing? Are you able to run Paint.NET?

No. Although, you could try the Effects > Selection (or Object) > Bevel Selection (or Object) plugin in my plugin pack.

Enough! Be nice.

There are only 2 today, but that number could grow.

Just remember, the DDS filetype plugin is only bundled at a certain point. If you have a newer DDS plugin installed, it will take precedence...

Layer Groups is on the common requested features list. This would be a pretty big change to Paint.NET, so don't hold your breath waiting for it to be implemented.

Nope.

The way to do this in Paint.NET is like this: Use the magic wand (tolerance 0) to select your transparent area. Press Ctrl+I to invert your selection. Click the Crop button.

It is just the way Firefox puts graphics on the clipboard.

What software are you pasting from? Which version of Paint.NET are you using?

Try running at 100% instead?

In my opinion, this is somewhat of a design flaw. The primary color's alpha setting controls how much effect the eraser has. This is an incredibly useful feature, however, it should probably be a separate setting on the eraser's toolbar for better discoverability. Glad you got it sorted out!

Perhaps your primary color is set to alpha 0. Change it to alpha 255 and it should start working again.

Here's how to do it without any plugins: 1) Run Paint.NET and press Ctrl+A then Del key to remove the default background layer. 2) Add a new layer and place the item there you wish to make into a cutout: 3) Use the eraser tool (large, like 50, hardness 100, no antialiasing) to erase around the part you want to keep: 4) Once that's done, duplicate your layer so that you have 2 copies of the cutout. 5) Select the middle layer. 6) Switch to the magic wand (0 tolerance) and select the transparent area. 7) Press Ctrl+I to invert your selection. Now all of your cutout should be selected: 8 ) Select black as your primary color. 9) Press the Backspace key to fill your selection with black. 10) Press Ctrl+D to deselect your cutout. 11) Use Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur (radius to taste... here, I used 25): 12) Use Image > Flatten to finalize your image. 13) Remember to save as .PNG to maintain the transparency. Here is the result:

If you want to "lock in place" the clone stamp, then what you want is a custom brush. Try that: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/110673-brush-factory-v18-dec-10th-2018/

Yes. It is easy to add more buttons. In CodeLab, press Ctrl+I for Interface Designer... Or, you can read this tutorial: https://boltbait.com/pdn/CodeLab/help/tutorial2.php That is not possible. This is a feature request I've asked Rick to implement, but he hasn't gotten to it yet. What we (as plugin authors) generally do is have a check box for the mode (see my Level Horizon plugin) or have a Quality slider to select your desired quality. Yes, no problem. See this tutorial: https://boltbait.com/pdn/CodeLab/help/tutorial4.php Hope this helps!

Rick Brewster (the developer of Paint.NET) has been recently making changes in the clipboard code of Paint.NET in order to fix some issues. This code is incredibly touchy (as you probably have noticed)... Rick doesn't always have all the software on his system as you might have. So, to help him debug the problem, follow the instructions on how to share your clipboard contents with him at this link: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/114697-error-pasting-images-from-outlook-in-42-update/?do=findComment&comment=560660 Once he gets the .CLP file, he can start to debug the problem. NOTE: without sending him the .CLP file, there is NO WAY for him to debug the problem. If you want a fix, spend a few minutes and help him debug the problem. THANKS!
