  1. Raster images use pixels, which is what Paint.net is, it is a raster program, as is photoshop.

    Now if you take an image that is vector, like adobe illustrator, you will lose ZERO detail at any level of resizing.

    In vector artwork, adobe illustrator for example, you take your pen tool, make an anchor point, make another point and drag, that is basically making an equation for that line you just made, inbetween those two points. With that equation you will lose nothing, no matter how you resize it.

    Take a vector program, drag in a nice sized circle from paint.net, anti aliased of course, and then make one in the vector program, and zoom in and look at the difference.

    I have a really good example of this, but it is saved as a PSD, I will save it as a png and show you the difference, was resizing a logo for a community service project, and I used a rastered square while I used vector artwork for the main part of the logo.

  2. Well I haven't posted in a while, and this community and program is progressing greatly.

    I was going to offer stock photos free of charge to anyone, these are purchased ones from me, I will make it a private file though, so the company doesn't get mad at me.

    I have about 350-400 MB of random stuff, IE kids, vehicles, sunsets, animals, people, backgrounds, cityscapes, and other stuff.

    I also have around 900 cut out renders of game characters, which you can find on filefront, but I can send you a select few which are great.

  3. Umm, if you want it to do the actual measuring, that would be pretty hard, if not impossible with the coding used I believe.

    Basically you want a line tool I assume.

    Press O, and you get your line tool, click once, then hit control D so you dont use the bezier curve and make a curved line.

    To watermark, all you have to do is take your image, import it into the image you want watermarked, and lower the layer's opacity.

  4. The Magnetic lasso?

    It is bloody potato. Definately not worth it in my opinion...

    The best way to cut out anything in photoshop, and actually in paint.net is to quick mask it.

    In paint.net do this, create a new layer, set the opacity down to like 100-150, so it is fairly translucent, and then take a color that is highly visible IE- Bright oranges, red, yellow and start painting over the subject that you want to cut out.

    I know you have parkinsons, and the easiest way is to be zoomed in a lot and just click the brush once to get over your subject, instead of doing long strokes.

    After you have painted over the entire subject, take the magic wand, select it, and then Inverse the selection, I believe the shortcut is Ctrl Shift I and then get on the original image's layer, hit delete, and you have a perfect cut.

    A bit lengthy, but if you want it to look great, use this method.

  5. Hey on the matter of fonts is there any way that paint.net can have a fonts folder so you dont have to install them all on your HD under windows??

    Kind of like adobe/fonts? (or the actual directory)

    It would help me out because I am getting an external HD to put all my Graphic design stuff on.
