  1. When I use Ctrl+Wheel to zoom in and out of an image, the zoom factor tends to go odd rather quick, making it annoying when zooming back out to not be back at 100%. Rather than using (relatively) arbitrary values to zoom in and out, it should lock them at 10% or so at each click of the wheel, like Internet Explorer's zoom. (Internet Explorer's zoom in general is pretty good.)

  2. It would be nice if in the 4.Xish releases you could select things without the jagged edge, ie. some sort of selection edge feathering (essentially making the selection equivalent to what you would have if you made a new layer then alpha masked it with another layer, where the transparent color had the selection are filled in with the opaque color then gaussian blurred).

  3. "Detect" ? The effect system in Paint.NET is not designed to be useful for image analysis...

    But it's not difficult to do. Assuming you have a place to output text, all you need to do is get the last bit of each byte of a pixel's color, (eg, yellow (ffff00) would yield 110 from 11111111 11111111 00000000 and place it into a string of bits and then convert that to text and output it.

    If I knew how CodeLab deals with color values/debug text I'd write it myself.

  4. I wasn't quite sure where to post this. These colors are helpful if you're doing for, say, a color map where you want 4-bit color depth.

    This is the default color palette from Windows Paint.

    This was the default palette for PDN 3 when it was in beta. It's basically the same thing without whitespace to make it wrap around for good placement.

    FF000000

    FF808080

    FF800000

    FF808000

    FF008000

    FF008080

    FF000080

    FF800080

    FF808040

    FF004040

    FF0080FF

    FF004080

    FFFFFFFF

    FFC0C0C0

    FFFF0000

    FFFFFF00

    FF00FF00

    FF00FFFF

    FF0000FF

    FFFF00FF

    FFFFFF80

    FF00FF80

    FF80FFFF

    FF8080FF

    FFFF0080

    FFFF8040

    FF8000FF

    FF804000

    And this is it with whitespace added to put each color where it is in the Paint palette:

    FF000000

    FF808080

    FF800000

    FF808000

    FF008000

    FF008080

    FF000080

    FF800080

    FF808040

    FF004040

    FF0080FF

    FF004080

    FF8000FF

    FF804000

    FFFFFFFF

    FFFFFFFF

    FFFFFFFF

    FFC4C4C4

    FFFF0000

    FFFFFF00

    FF00FF00

    FF00FFFF

    FF0000FF

    FFFF00FF

    FFFFFF80

    FF00FF80

    FF80FFFF

    FF8080FF

    FFFF8040

    ...yeah. If you don't know how to use these, just paste them into a text file in your Palettes folder.

  5. 1. When I use the scroll whel to zoom, it seems to take the scroll wheel acceleration in and round it strictly to the nearest 1%. Since the slowest I can go is around 12% a detent, this makes it hard to get back to 100% without fooling around in the toolbars and such. What would be nice would be to work mouse-wheel zooming like IE7, where each detent moves you 10% (with variations from acceleration).

    2. Why use the scroll wheel for vertical scrolling with a program that more often has scrolling horizontally than vertically, and zooming is the most natural wheel action? The best approach here is like that used in Microsoft Expession Graphic Designer, where the wheel with no modifiers zooms, ctrl-wheel scrolls vertically, and shift-wheel scrolls horizontally. Also (until the addition of Guides) the rulers were used as scrollbars, reducing unnecessary clutter.

  6. The type of functionality is available in the Gradient tool. When you draw a gradient, before you finalize, grab (with the left button) one of the nubs, while holding down the left button click and hold the right button and drag both nubs at the same time.

    I think it would be nice to be able to move a line the same way.

    No, I mean like rotating the line like the hand of a clock, like when you first draw the line.
