@mm7916 your image is not fully transparent. Why don't you go to https://www.remove.bg/ You can, afterwards, add a layer of your background color

I just updated and it's working fine. Did you restart paint.net after installing the latest version? Also, did you put both .dll and the G'MIC Folder into Effects?

Judging from the way (steps) you do, my first thought is that you should "crop" before you copy, and then paste

I would say disable the smart screen, as it seems to be overly sensitive. One really only needs Windows Defender alone.

@Rickenbacker there is also a tutorial here, and even has water in it:

When you are replying and want to add an image to your post:

@Vince1960 you can do this: 1. Bring your example, if it is large, into paint.net, and resize it to a reasonable size, no bigger that 600 x 800. 2. Save it to your desktop in .png or .jpeg. 3. Upload the example right into this thread via "choose files" at the bottom of this window. 4. I will give you an example with this apple.

I have 1 Calibri font in my Fonts Folder and 2 in Paint.net. Curiouser and curiouser 😯

Congratulations @lynxster4 lovely winning entry with the 'enameled look' and the tree 😍 Many thanks for hosting

The Poll is now open for the Cat Competition #120 and will stay open until Saturday 13th January 2024 until 2 pm EST and 7 pm UK time. Such cute entries from you all 😽 thank you!

This seems to be a universal problem with this particular Font 🤪

@grottstock I'm sorry, but we must use English to communicate, but this time I have translated it: I am unable to set the print size of an image. I can't enter a tax below either, the cursor keeps jumping somewhere and other words are printed. What kind of program is this? You may want to read this:

It will be impossible for us to help without seeing the images I'm afraid, or the Diagnostics.

Then let your Firewall allow it. We all use it and Imgur too. Also, before you flatten your images to Save As, are you cropping the pictures to the flattened canvas size? You may have some edges showing from an uploaded image.

What you have sounds good. Can you post - nothing lurid please - an example of the finished product for us to see. You can post free here, https://postimages.org/ and then post the direct link on here.

Hello @Vince1960 and welcome to the forum Can you tell us a bit more please. I assume you are using version 5.0.12 and have checked all of your Windows updates? Also, which system are you using Windows 10, 11 ? You could also give us your Diagnostics:

Are you using the latest version of paint.net, which is 5.0.12 ?

You can maximize at the top of the canvas:
