  1. Obviously. The source code is not only terrible, it is unnecessarily slow. Really?
  2. Effect plugins have the following limitations: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/14566-what-is-and-isnt-possible-when-writing-plugins/ The only way this could be done is if someone created a filetype plugin that output individual layers in random order into a file which would then have to be opened.
  3. That would make creating a series of identical shapes, rotated to the same angle, really easy.
  4. That's NOT what this is for. "Apply Embedded Color Profile" is for adjusting an image based on an already attached color profile and then removing that profile.
  5. Step 1: Select the area you want to affect Step 2: Add a new layer by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N Step 3: With black and white selected, press Shift+Backspace to fill the selection with white Step 4: With the shape tool, select Ellipse and fill Step 5: Draw (in black) your circle Step 6: Click the checkbox to turn off visibility of Layer 2 Step 7: Select Layer 1 (your original image) and run the Effects > Object > Apply Mask plugin (You do have my plugin pack installed, right?!) Make sure "Invert mask" is checked and click the OK button to finalize your image. Now, turning that square frame into a circle shape is going to be a challenge. Try one of these Polar plugins: https://forums.getpaint.net/PluginIndex?keywords=Polar
  6. Click the Ignore button and it will install the plugins for the store version.
  7. This is a complete rewrite for the newest plugin pack. The old plugin was slow and had problems where it prioritized dark areas. The new algorithm has a different issue... it needs transparent area around your object measuring equal to (or greater than) the depth you wish to use. Sometimes it is necessary to increase the size of your canvas before running the effect, then trimming your canvas down after the effect. Or, maybe you would need to be sure that objects are alone on a layer and not too close to other objects. The reason for this is that the new algorithm uses this transparent area as a scratch pad during computations and it clears it out before it finishes.
  8. You need to start with your original image open. Duplicate the layer. Select the top layer and change the blend mode to Darken. Use some sort of Effects > Blurs > ??? on the top layer... maybe Surface blur? Or, gaussian blur? Or... ? Follow up with Adjustments > Brightness / Contrast to lower the brightness a little.
  9. More (or less) nubs is a feature that is being DESIGNED right now. Once a design is finalized it will be developed. So, don't hold your breath, but it is eventually coming. EDIT: Less? Sure, 2 points would be a straight line, 3+ would be a spline, and 4 would be a Bezier.
  10. We are not here to do your work for you. What we can do is teach you how to use Paint.NET. What have you tried? What problems are you having?
  11. Have you tried the built-in Effects > Color > Quantize That may be what you're looking for.
  12. I'm just not seeing a problem with the Barlow Condensed font: Perhaps you just didn't install the font properly. Here's how to do it: Step 1: Download the font from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Barlow+Condensed Step 2: Right-click on the zip file and "Extract All..." Step 3: Click the "Extract" button: Step 4: Select all of the font files and right-click on one of them and choose "Show more options": Step 5: Choose "Install for all users" from the menu: That's it. Your font should be properly installed and ready for use with my plugin.
  13. As a person who has contributed to the Paint.NET code base, I can assure you that NOTHING is easy about it. BTW, Rick has filed an issue in the official repository about this issue. That is not to say that it will be implemented... it just means he will review it at a later date for inclusion--the issue won't be lost.
  14. Unless you are @Rick Brewster himself, you're not allowed to say that... EVER!
  15. When using the paint brush, check the options on the button bar: Maybe you've changed the blending mode away from "Normal" or "Overwrite"...
  16. Your best bet is to go here: https://forums.getpaint.net/forum/44-plugin-packs/ Download the plugin packs that are pinned and marked with a star. However, you probably shouldn't just download a bunch of plugins you'll never use. Best is to download them as you need them.
  17. listen, Rick Brewster, can’t write everything! So, he left us the ability to create plug-ins. They may be crutches, but that’s how we get things done. Otherwise, we would have to wait forever for features.
  18. The installs are all signed and do not contain viruses. You really need to report false positives to your AV vendor.
  19. Thanks! But, none of my entries have 2 votes? Both of my entries got 3 votes each.
  20. I just updated the Apply Mask plugin. It should no longer crash if the number of layers changes and you press Ctrl+F to rerun the effect. It should now maintain the R, G, and B values for pixels who's Alpha drops to 0.
  21. "Effects > Selection > Bevel Selection" bevels by following the selection outline (the dashed line). You have selected the "Keep original alpha" checkbox... therefore the bevel selection will bevel a square and then set the alpha to 0 because you had original alpha of 0 on your selection. Solution: Either selection the white areas using the magic wand before running the effect, or run the "Effects > Object > Bevel Object" plugin instead.
  22. I seriously doubt that Paint.NET is blocking your wifi. It is probably an overzealous virus software that is blocking it.
