I'm not sure how it let you zoom into 3200% in a 1400x750 image. There is currently a limitation in Paint.NET by which it cannot expand the "virtual" canvas size beyond 32,767 x 32,767 pixels. This explain why it won't let you go past certain zoom levels depending on the image size. (In fact, try creating a 64,000 x 2px image. You won't even be able to set zoom to 100%!)
So, 1400 x 3200%, or 1400 x 32 = 44,800, which shouldn't have been permitted.
This is a limitation I'm planning on fixing in v4.0.
Is there anything I can send you to help you figure out what went wrong so it won't go wrong for others? I can live with the errors at this point, but I'd like to see it get fixed in the next version.

Hello, I use Paint.NET 3.5.8 on Windows 7 Pro x64, with everything fully updated. After installing AutoCAD 2012 Electrical (Student), there were several glitches that cropped up in Paint.NET most notably that I could no longer zoom fully into an image and edit or even see the entire thing. For example I was trying to edit an image that is 1400*750. When I used [CRTL]+Scroll to zoom in as far as I could, it let me zoom in to 3200%. However it defaulted to an area that was at the edge of a 1024*550 rectangle set in the upper left corner of the image. I tired several times to scroll further down the image in full zoom, but Paint.NET refused to let me (it would however let me scroll further over using the scroll bars, but not edit anything outside of the above mentioned area). I have removed all plugins, uninstalled AutoCAD, reinstalled Paint.NET (both versions 3.5.7 and 3.5.8) and nothing has fixed this issue. To show what I am talking about I have uploaded the following files:
(318k)
(273k)
The first is the error when zoomed in all the way, the second shows where I am in the image when zoomed out.
As I noted above (in the topic description) Paint.NET will not even let me select 2400% as a zoom, and the scroll-to-zoom skips

Well Blast. I guess I'll be sticking with my 3.10 install and associated plug-in(s) for a while (I do understand why you are dropping it, I was just hoping that I would maybe forestall the inevitable).
Keep in mind, you cannot seek tech support for Paint.NET 3.10 on this forum.
And I never have and never will. I have an install that works for me now, so I don't see any reason to upgrade.

8 bit PNG can be generated using The Opti-PNG plugin. But it's a bit of a work-around until the next version comes out.

Yes, I understand that without that option, icon authoring power is extremely limited. However, just due to the nature of Paint.NET, such an option is just not something I'm willing to maintain. I did some refactoring for the latest release and removed that feature. There will be probably one or two more clean-up/bug fix updates for this plug-in and then I'm not going to maintain it anymore. In Rick's own words, Paint.NET is just not an icon creation tool.
Well Blast. I guess I'll be sticking with my 3.10 install and associated plug-in(s) for a while (I do understand why you are dropping it, I was just hoping that I would maybe forestall the inevitable).
It's highly likely that I will write a standalone application that allows for more complex icon creation. But trying to write a plug-in that attempts to extend Paint.NET's functionality too far beyond that for which is was intended is not the way I want to go.I would like to see that very much. The reason I voiced my opinion was that I much prefer your/Rick's Anti-Aliasing to that I've found in other freeware Icon editors (most notibly IcoFX).

Would anyone object if I took out the "Save each layer seperately" mode? It's really kind of a dirty hack how it trys to analyze the transparent regions and save images of different dimensions. Paint.Net isn't really well suited for it. I'd have more time to work on other features if I just scraped this portion.
Please let me know by voting in the poll at the top of the page.
I don't see the poll, but I would hate to see that dropped as it allows me to load up unique 16*16 sized images for that size of icon, which makes the icons look cleaner (AA'ed 16*16 icons look like junk most of the time).

2nd pic - Advanced Greyscale plugin: R 100, G 50, B 0
:?: what plugin is that i searched and found nothing... :? :shock:
Link.

I posted a new version at the same download link as before:
http://www.evanolds.com/IcoCur.zip
I made a small change; the 512x512 sample icon that was posted now loads correctly. Let me know if it works for all your other icons.
You sir, are a great man. I also now have a reason to upgrade to 3.2.

The plug-in does not save icons whose dimensions exceed 256 pixels, so I'd like to know where you are getting icons that have images that exceed 256 pixels because I need to download some to test out. So it really sounds like you are getting large icons from some other source, but your post did not make it clear whether or not that was the case. If you can post a sample icon in one .zip file, I will take a look at it.
I know I'm not the person in question, but here is a sample:
-
The animation will have to be done with a different program, but you are going to need to select the areas that you want colored, then do a series of hue/saturation adjustments to them, and take the saturation on the rest of the image down to zero.
Does this make sense?

Very Nice. I too have made a PDN icon for XP, but I haven't released it - but I'll put it up here for a bit -
(Link removed)
NOTE - This is the first time I've even shown this icon to anyone.
This icon is NOT meant for public use (yet).
-
I personally use a program called Exifer, and while it isn't free, it is postcard-ware.

I remember asking about this a while back - AH! here it is

I don't believe .ico's support alpha transparency, so anti-aliasing would cause that ugly halo to appear.
Uhm, where have you been for the past 6 years? XP and OS X both support 32 bit icons, and Vista even stores the 256*256 size as a PNG.
-
wow. i didn't even know bmp spec allowed for a 32 bit. a plugin for it should be relatively simple and straightforward. i would offer to do it, but i really do have my hands full at the moment.
It was added with XP - I know Photoshop supports it, but GIMP doesn't. *shudders* Wikipedia Link. Also - Getting software that supports it is a rather medium-term project (ie. 2-6 months), so It's fine if you do decide to make it if it doesn't come out for a while, I know how schools can be.
-
Is there any plan to add 32 bit BMP/DIB support to PDN at any point? I as because if there is, then it would save me having to download several other programs for MSStyles editing.
If not, then how hard would it be to implement it in a plugin?

The FAQ currently has the following in it:
Why can't I load or save icons (.ico files)?Icons are meant to hold multiple images of various dimensions and color depths. Paint.NET is meant to work with single images composed of multiple layers that are exactly the same dimensions and only with the 32-bit color depth. So Paint.NET would make an awful icon editor. We recommend checking out out Axialis IconWorkshop, http://www.axialis.com/iconworkshop/ , instead.
In light of the ICO/Cur Plugin, shouldn't that be refrenced instead?

... I can't get you a copy of what it should look like.
I can
The upcoming version will have support for these icons (as you can see).
Dear Sir - I salute you greatly, for you have moved me to the point that when I get a job I shall donate money to support this wonderful program!
-
The only program I've been able to open the icon with is IconWorkshop 5/6, and my free trials are used up so I can't get you a copy of what it should look like.

One thing to remember is that if the board you have your sig on has more than one skin, a border around your sig is a good idea.

I made these all up for another board where I am what I've put in the last sig banner.

Yeah it is, and was error free at anything but full zoom.
Edit: It seems that it's mostly that image (I just loaded a 2000*10000 image and it did what it was supposed to by not letting me zoom in more than 328%), which makes me feel rather silly for posting this. Sorry Rick, obviously feel free to lock.
