  1. Hm...It appears I wasn't the first :-p Yeah, add that and expect to see scripts owning Photoshop. This program [Paint.NET] has a lot of power in it, it just takes tons of steps. So making those into scripts and creating an entirely new forum section for them, saves people time and can easily replace the need for many plugins (such as chrome and stuff that can be recreated through scripts).

    And the good thing about scripts is that you can edit them, even downloaded ones, so you can change them to fit your needs.

  2. Paint Shop pro has this ability and I love it. Basically, you [the user] can create things called scripts. They're very easy to make and save time. Basically, within the program you can set a script to activate any effect within the program, with any set amounts - of the creators choice - with an end result being whatever the creator wanted to have it make.

    For example, instead of going through the entire process of making lightning, one can just have it first render some clouds, then invert it, level it (with set values) and then give it some color, saving the user a ton of time.

    If you want any more explanation, I can elaborate more.

  3. My sig look better at this size?

    Honda: Is that supposed to be like a mini map in race car games? If so I wouldn't use Paint.NET to create it just yet. Paint.NET doesn't support Vectors at the moment, and if you know what they are, they're the best thing to use if you want to create stuff with a lot of curves. The Gimp supports them, but sucks a lot (I can't figure out how to curve the vecotrs well in it). Try finding a free vector editor (they exist) and then bring it in to Paint.NET for some nice editing :-p

  4. I felt left out, so I decided to make myself a crappy sig :-p

    All this consisted of was some bold text that I made look funky, then I duplicated and Zoom blurred that layer. And for the background....? Four curly 2-year old-like paint brush marks that I duplicated, made look blue-ish then I used a distortion on it. Then duplicated that, put tiles on it. Then I used two gradients with alpha filters to make it look like it's fading in to grey.

  5. Sorry, I'm bored, and I scroll forums when I'm bored.... So naturally I post a lot when I am bored :-p

    As for your suggestion I did not know that it existed, thanks for the info. But I feel that that should be improved just a tad bit to be like Paint Shop Pro's. In PSP's if you drag it out a bit (click and hold in the center for example, then drag your mouse from it), when you move it'll turn less allowing you to adjust the rotation for more detailed work than most.

  6. I sort of miss this ability in Paint.NET. Often I find myself rotating images in my work and most editors that I use have either a bar on the selected image (when using the image resize button on the toolbar), or you can put your mouse slightly to above the corners and then click, hold, and drag to rotate images freely.

    I know that this has the flip plugin and rotate/zoom (which is by far the most powerful one I have seen), but for those users who usually want a quick answer (such as the above stated), click and drag may be nice. Just a suggestion, this is good nonethless ^_^

  7. Well if they were a normal font vector (dunno if these are in Paint.NET) you could simply re-adjust the pixel size than shrink it later, but other then that and my above suggestion, I think there is not way short of distorting them using a wave effect or something.

  8. As for myself I would really like it also. I have mostly been confined to Paint Shop Pro 8 for most of my editing career (just recently began looking at free alternatives) and have found a trick around it though it requires more skill.

    Use the clone stamp at 50% opacity (Percent 50 mode I believe in Paint.NET) and clone over what you want to "heal." Next use the smudge tool (which I don't think Paint.NET has, so maybe use Gimp for this one effect, though I don't really like Gimp much), also at 50% opacity, and smudge around the cloned area until it looks like you want it to.

    Currently this is the only solution that seems to work and act much like the healing brush.
