[Emboss]

I use it well, mainly in patterns where I get rid of the grey color, but It is useful for unsaturated relief.

[Help with a project asap. Simple question]

Also, when doing something like this, Paint.NET can't justify (because there are no boundaries), so it would be best to use a monospace font.

I am not sure whether it was loading the image (9600x12000@1200dpi, by the way) and crashed due to memory, or because I moved the window, and something happened.

[RGB?]

Firstly, wrong forum. Please post stuff like this in General Discussion, where General questions are answered. Secondly, an RGB color palette is not supported, but if you open the color window's Advanced tab, you can see the RGB equivalent of HSV for any pixel.

[FYI: Google search for "Paint.NET" gives zilch ret]

I am sure that this would cause mass confusion among the thousands of users, considering a good percentage is not in touch with the forum community (nor the main website).

Namaste...

[PNG Lossless Compression vs. BMP Lossless]

Well, I'll be! duh...

The fight in my brain:

"Maybe it's Microsoft!"

"It can't be Microsoft, they're perfect!"

"But it wouldn't be Paint.NET!"

[PNG Lossless Compression vs. BMP Lossless]

Just a quirk that I noticed: Here i give the same two files, one in bitmap and one in PNG format. Now i noticed this in IE6's internal PNG viewer, but if one were to take a snapshot of the IE page, one would notice a slight discoloration between the two "same" colors in the two images. e.g., #FF33CC in the BMP might be #FF30CD in the PNG, while in PdN, they are the same (#FF33CC).

Here are the 2 images:

BMP:

PNG:

I have not dug too deeply, but in cases where I use html and need png for with its size it is easy to download, I need that the color of the png go with the background or something else.

[how do i get my image i made on the internet]

In the save as box, by Save as type: choose PNG (*.png) and type in the name of your file (in your example, just "myimage")

[how do i get my image i made on the internet]

Then save it as .png. Or if you need .pdn, use MyTempDir.

[how do i get my image i made on the internet]

Can you please be descriptive with your titles?

Use an image hoster like ImageShack.

[Plug-In Reccomendation]

I'm pretty sure what Alphari suggested would be on the todo list, and as for patmalcolm, this sounds like a good plugin.

[add differnt brush types]

You could give it transparency and make it a clone stamp, but thats about it

[More movement...]

Use Rotate/Zoom {Ctrl+Shift+Z}

[Text Tool]

You seem to imply that the text tool creates a new layer, which it does not. Therefore, a new layer must be created if you wish to move the text without disturbing other parts of your image.

And once you have your text in a new layer, go to the Tools window, and click on Rectangle Select. Then select a rectangle around your text and click on Move Selection. Now click inside your box and drag to move it.

Edited for: Grammar

[Batch Processing -> Plugin?]

I am supposing only if you can package it as a dll application extension. If you can't, you may want to rethink the functionality of it (like an *.bat file type).

[Out of Memory error with image resize]

I know super sampling takes a lot of memory. I do not know exactly how much, but it definitely (hopefully) shouldn't be enough to take up all of that. I can resize something bigger with only 630 MB of physical memory. What is your paging file size?

[Conditional Hue/Saturation Effect Available]

I would say that photoshop leans and averages the hues of the image towards a color you picked, rather than setting them to a specific color. Also, it has a saturation range of 0 to 100 % (Not 0.01 to 100%)

[Icon, Cursor, and Animated Cursor Format v3.7 (May 2010)]

i made a set of cursors (and a lot of icons for small applications that i won't show here). Its all nice and blue! (God bless gradients.)

Also, pixel by pixel editing was done for the link select, and some other cursors (including alpha) (You can't really control gradients that efficiently that small on any raster graphics program.)

The cursors are in the following ZIP file: CursorSet.zip

[Conditional Hue/Saturation Effect Available]

darknight, your pictures did not come through.

EDIT: DOn't feel like posting a new one.

You have to save these to your hard drive...curse the greed of them

[Help with Rotate/Zoom]

Well, rotate-zoom gives hard edges, so you might have wanted to take the picture, double size it, and then perform the rotate-zoom. Then you would want to half-size the rotate-zoomed picture.

[PCX Viewing Support]

For now, RAD Video Tools, located here: http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm, can convert pcx to bmp and other formats and back. {1.2 MB}

[Roadmap]

Nobody really writes it down until Paint.NET starts going into beta again. But the suggestions are kept on a to-do list somewhere in Washington. I hope somewhere beyond file://C:\

[1000 registered members!]

You're right. This project is coming up on its second year (the forums on its first). I joined the bandwagon about early november of last year after hearing about it from a friend. I got into the forums because the install did not work for me (I believe now it was a registry edit problem in the installer). Then there was probably about 225 users at the time. The growth of the community on the forums has been exponential since then (And the use of Paint.NET overall is astounding now also.). I was then all over the bug reporting forum because of my install problem, with no idea of the general discussions other than effects and MDI and a pretty GUI. And I remember somebody complaining about the .NET framework saying it would "mess with his computer". It certainly has progressed. Once I got back to the forums after a period of silence around february and march, seeing the new forums like tutorials (The only person making them was Crazy Man Dan before) and plugins (everyone thought that the implementation was not very capable), I was stunned.

This place has grown a lot.

[MDI?]

Just from curiosity, just what exactly would this require changing (other than the entire GUI)?
