I'm new to Paint.NET and I'm not sure if a roadmap exists showing future development and features. One feature I would like to request is layer masks like in Photoshop and Gimp. I did a search, but couldn't find if this has been previously requested. I don't know how hard it would be to code, but layer masks come in very handy and make some tasks much simpler to accomplish. Thanks. Paul

I read that in another thread. That's why I said "true" or advanced unsharp mask, with amount, radius, and threshold. There are some images which react very nicely with a large radius and low amount. This can't be done with the simplified UI. Is there any way to maybe add an advanced checkbox which will open up an "advanced" unsharp mask dialog. Thanks for a great product. Paul

I also wish there was an easier way to crop. I always crop my pictures to 4x6 before I have them printed and this current technique, which is really just a workaround, is too time consuming. When editing close to 100 pictures and to try and draw a rectangle on each of them?!?! If Paint.NET really wants to compete, there needs to be a way to select an aspect ratio once the crop tool is selected and handles that only move the selection within that ratio. Also, it would be really nice if there was also a way to rotate the selection with a checkbox instead of swapping the aspect ratio. Other than this and a true unsharp mask, this is a great product.
