Paint.NET is not the tool for that. Try FastStone: http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm

You've broken your current paint.net installation--don't worry, it's probably not your fault. You can use this utility to remove the broken installation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed Then, try to install Paint.NET again.

That's the way I envisioned my walls. I just couldn't get them to look right, so I eventually went with solid colored walls.

Here is my try at recreating the target image: I used plugins in my plugin pack and pyrochild's plugin pack (trail). I used my shape "New and Improved" to create the hole in the road. I used Trail to make it deep (could have done better here). I wanted to make a better gradient on the walls, but couldn't get it to look the way I wanted. Just used the standard line tool to create all the lines. I'm sure someone else will come along and do a better job than me.

I showed you how to use the built-in Twist effect. Sorry, but, I don't know anything about @pyrochild's Twist effect. If you're having a problem with a specific plugin, you should post in that plugin's thread so that the effect's author will see your post and respond. Post here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/18655-twist/ I'm just going to close this thread.

Effects > Distort > Twist

The video shows that the Paint.NET tooltip for the the effect seems to stay on the screen while the effect is running. In my opinion, this is a very minor annoyance and I wouldn't kill yourself trying to fix it.

*Stickied* Nicely done! My favorite included effect is called "Sketch".

If you zoom in to your image such that the source location is not visible, the pasted image will show up on the screen where you're zoomed.

It should. What error message are you getting?

Your "vertical" line has a "horizontal" gradient.

How is it not helping? The tool is not designed to fix the problem; it is designed to give detailed error message so that someone here can figure out what's wrong. You need to run the tool and post the error log so someone can look at it.

Ha! What you're asking for would require rewriting the way Windows works.

Worst idea ever. Service Pack 2 actually includes code that Paint.NET needs to run.

Nope. If Windows blue screens, Paint.NET won't be in control... it can't do anything to save your images... You need to work with Windows to solve the reason for the blue screen. Only then will you be safe.

The first thing you might try is to switch to dark theme. I find it much easier to track the cursor when using the dark theme. Click the gear then select the dark theme.

What at do you expect to happen? Currently, the selection is displayed in the control so the + is constrained to the selection. BTW, 125% is an evil abomination that shouldn’t exist. Only 100 or 200 should be chosen.

In Paint.NET, unlike Photoshop, all layers are the same size. Therefore, if you crop one layer, all layers are affected. If you simply want to make all the non selected pixels transparent, press Ctrl+I (to invert the selection) and Del (to delete the pixels).

That's totally my fault. I have a fix for it and will publish it in a moment. But, as this is not a bug in Paint.NET, I'm going to close this thread.
