Paint.NET gets a shout-out in the latest Computerphile video! Only 7 seconds in. The video is complicated, but super useful for visualizing how image resizing works.

I've also heard good things about Backblaze.com .

If you're running Windows XP, your Paint.NET problems are the least of your issues. Microsoft discontinued security support for that OS over two years ago, which means that if your system hasn't already been compromised (that is, hacked), it likely soon will be.

When you paste something in, it is automatically selected. You do NOT have to flatten the image. You just have to deselect the pixels or choose the correct layer.

"Common" is used as a basic repository of code that the plugin authors in question use in all of their plugins, so that they can develop more quickly. No plugins actually appear in the program for those files, but they are necessary for other of their plugins to function.
As for standalone effects, you'll need to check the Plugin Index. Some plugin authors make their plugins available as standalone downloads, some don't. I believe Ed is in the latter category, but I'm not sure.

Oh thanks. Huh wonder if deleting some of these plugins would speed up my paint.net. I thought they didn't effect anything until use. I have 70 of them. Though I can't tell which are the ones I use and which aren't like. I use Color Balance not color balance+ but I don't see color balance+ in the folder.
Yes, absolutely it would. Well, it would speed up launch, at least. PdN checks every plugin for compatibility every time the program opens, so the more plugins you have the longer that process would take.
You can always pull plugins out of the root /Paint.NET/Effects folder and put them into a subfolder - such as /Paint.NET/Effects/Archive - where they won't be seen by the program but will be easily available if you find that you need them later.

Not quite. You don't have to flatten the image, you just have to deselect the pixels you have selected from pasting in the screenshot. Hit Ctrl+D. Or, potentially, you're working on a layer that is covered up by the screenshot. Take a look and make sure the layer you're trying to draw upon is at the top.
Paint.NET, like other image editors, only affects the pixels within the selection area on the selected layer. This doesn't violate Principle of Least Surprise, as it's standard for all image editors.

Use the English language in this forum, please.
That rule doesn't apply in the Localization forum.

I'm using Avast with no PdN install problems.

Alternatively, if you have a photo where someone is looking to the right and you want to make them face the camera...that is impossible.

Heh. I actually emailed the URL of those exact posts to myself on Monday. Don't worry, it is coming. Eli rocks.

I could never understand why someone would get plugin packs from another site, only to come to this one and complain about it. I find that both illogical and amusing at the same time. If there are indeed viruses in the Megalo pack, I would do a system restore or reformat and rebuild. Chalk it up to lesson learned and move on.
In the future get your PDN plugins from this site only.
There are. Not always, but often enough.

After you've "completed" a selection, those pixels don't exist anymore.

We're happy to help you do the modification yourself, but while you're reading Rule 6, please also read Rule 23.
Locked for breaking both. Feel free to open a new thread once you've read the rules.

The Megalo pack illegally redistributes plugins from this forum and may contain malware.
You should delete the contents of your Effects and FileTypes folders and run a virus scan, see Megalo = VIRUS! for more information.
Then you can install the RAW FileType plugin from this thread.
^^ QFT. ^^
We cannot provide support for Megalo, only for removing it.

People make YouTube videos of Paint.NET all the time. I'm sure you're fine.
That said, if you really want to get all your ducks in a row, Rick Brewster is the creator (singular, just one guy). He's active on the forum, so he'll probably see this.

Got my hopes up for Myrddin's return.

The Effects Control Window. Is there any possible setting or way to make this window not pop up dead center of the image you are working on?
Not currently, sorry.

EER hits the mini-tuts page for the first time with a beautiful method for making lines thicker, which looks uncannily like a finger-paint effect!

Mini-Tut #17
Fingerpaint Effect
by Ego Eram Reputo, in response to oldzort
Original thread: increase thickness in line drawings
Original post: 516392
On 5/7/2016 at 0:00 AM, Ego Eram Reputo said:My suggestion:
1. Remove the white background with AlphaSpace with White selected and a Tolerance of 47.
2. Expand the edges with @MJW's Edge Expander. When installed this can be found under Effects > Object. Use Max Distance of 11, Fade Rate of 0 and Opacity Threshold of 149.
3. Run Effects > Noise > Median with Radius 12 and Percentile at 25 (or thereabouts).
Before and after...
