[Layer modus 'Reflect' throws exception]

I draw a picture with 2 layers and I set the layer modus of the second layer to 'reflect' and then Paint.NET crashes. Here the crash-log:

If you can code in C# then you have allready your feature. With the addin "CodeLabs" you can write C# code which manipulate your image.

[Teaching Help]

Why you use Paint.NET? It is relativ easy but powerful too. And free too.

What you should teach? They are many possibilities, but I would start with resizing (optimize for web, looking, print).

Then I would continue with adjustments. First based on the complete image then on a selection (incl. the diffrent selection-tools).

After what you can show how to add figures/text.

Effects (effects itself and rotate/zoom a image/selection) should follow after what.

Finally i would show the usage of layers.

I hope I could help.

[HELP!! MASSIVE CPU USAGE!!]

An alpha version is more a preview of a program, has bugs and not all features are implementet or implementet features will remove from the final version.

A beta is relativ a finished version. It is tested by other people to find bugs and fix them.

This are the diffrents )im my opinion :-)

[Wrapping up v2.5: what's coming, and what got cut]

You said, Paint.NET 2.5 has a curve tool, but then is it integrated? I use beta 4 and i couldn't find a curve tool. Can I find it in the next beta?

[Updates without admin rights]

The subject says all: I wish the update feature will also works then the current user don't have administrator rights.
