  1. So I have this image with a font in it that I copypasted from Nintendo DS system screenshots (It's the font from Pictochat). The letters are arranged in ASCII order with one pixel space between them. I'm trying to use them for something, but I need to increase the number of pixels between each letter. Is there any way other than moving every single letter individually to put an extra pixel between each letter without distorting the letters?

  2. In most programs, when you open a file, if you change the way the list is displayed (thumbnail, list, etc.), the program remembers it and displays the same way the next time you open a file. But Paint.NET always reverts to thumbnail view, so I have to change back to list view every time I open an image or else have to deal with only six items in the window at any given time, which makes it hard to find a specific image in my humongous folders. It would be conveinent for me and probably a lot of other people if Paint.NET remembered the folder view setting.

  3. Mmm... this isn't exactly what I'd call a feather. Feathering isn't blurring the edges, it's fading the edges to transparent, which is actually doable with the new gradient tool, to an extent.

    Not saying this isn't useful, but calling it a feather isn't very accurate. :/

    But, if you think about it, that's EXACTLY what its doing.

    If you Gaussian blur a pixel that is sitting next to a totally transparent pixel, it becomes slightly transparent. Then, if you blur that transparent pixel, it takes on some of the color of the previous pixel and becomes slightly less transparent. Isn't that exactly what you describe?

    That would be what I'm describing, if the feathered object were a solid color and nothing more.

    I made this with the gradient tool, rect to polar, and alpha mask. This is a true feather. On the faded edges, not a single pixel has had an RGB value changed, only the alpha transparency. This is what the feather tool in Fireworks does, and I'm pretty sure that applies to other image editing programs.
