[I can't install Paint.net]

You'll need to troubleshoot the connection issue on your end.

Perhaps your internet service provider can assist you.

[I can't install Paint.net]

Please try using the offline installer.

[Blue Screen Errors and Crashes Problem]

Some of these exception messages are indicative of bad system memory (RAM).

The fact that you're also having BSOD issues enforces this theory.

 

It looks like your laptop is nearly 12 years old. Probably time to replace it.

Yep, this is an indicator that your hard disk is failing. You should replace it as soon as possible; ideally with an SSD.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'MessagePack, Version=2.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b4a0369545f0a1be'. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

 

It says it can't find the MessagePack.dll file. Did you install the plugin correctly?

[.NET 7 EOLed]

You have two options:

• Reinstall the .NET 7 SDK.  Microsoft released v7.0.19 on the same day that .NET 7 went EOL.  So, they expect people to continue using it in the short-term.
• Use the alpha version of Paint.NET, which uses .NET 8.

Might be the NahimicOSD causing issues.

Try to remove it, and possibly the other A-Volute software too.

[Need help with cropped images]

This is a little confusing.  Are you actually cropping the image?

 

It sounds like you just want to erase parts of an image.  ie, Make those parts transparent.

 

Are you saying when you copy and paste the image into another program, the transparency is lost?

[Paint.net is the only app that is blurry on my Windows 11 laptop]

This was changed in Paint.NET v5.0.4 to make the image more accurate at different zoom levels.

 

Quote

• Improved: The rendering quality of the canvas area has been greatly improved
  • Gamma correction is now used for mipmap generation and compositing, ensuring consistent luminance (brightness) and higher quality antialiasing.
  • Multisampling is now used for antialiasing, which eliminates pixelation distortions when zooming in, and greatly reduces aliasing artifacts when zooming out.

[Installing PDN under Wine in Linux/Mac.]

30 minutes ago, PcChip said:

I would be willing to pay for a linux version and I'm sure many others would as well

 

If you can throw money at the problem, then send it to the folks that can create a solution:

- Buy a CrossOver license from CodeWeavers (the primary sponsor of Wine; employs many Wine developers)

- or directly to the Wine project.

[Download corrupted due to failure of digital signature]

The certificate looks fine to me.

Please ensure Windows Update has been run, and is up-to-date.

The maximum resolution of JPEG images is 65,535×65,535 pixels.

[Download corrupted due to failure of digital signature]

You can check for the digital signature on the downloaded file.

%temp%\PdnSetupDownloader

 

You're probably behind on Windows Updates though.

Seems like your system doesn't recognize a root certificate used by Microsoft.

 

Or maybe it was just an incomplete download.

[Create Rectangle with Rounded Corners in JPG Format]

Sorry, no. The JPEG format doesn't support transparency.

[Plugin not working (Where to put OptionBasedLibrary files)]

And yes, I do have the 2 optional libraries installed in the Paint.Net folder

 

That's why it's not working; the plugin files (and dependencies) need to be placed within the Effects folder.

Do you think Sophos is interfering here? Please try to temporarily disable Sophos, and see if it makes a difference.

[Plugin Index]

I've just added the allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox attribute onto the iframe's sandbox.

In essence, any linked page would inherit the sandbox restrictions of the iframe. Not anymore.

 

This should fix issues where people were not able to reply to linked topics, or even download attachments.

[Arc Text (May 13, 2022)]

@Silverdenn probably came to this topic via the Plugin Index.

The Plugin Index, until a few minutes ago, would cause these kind of issues on pages it linked to.

[Why is Cropping & Micro-Rotating Now Difficult?]

That is not normal, and it sounds like you're having a performance issue on your system.

 

Please post the diagnostic information found within paint.net.

I tried to save a photo as a png, but I think it saved as a png with a .pdn file extension.

 

This will happen if you manually change the file extension in the Save dialog, without actually choosing the format from the dropdown.

[Sprite Rotation]

6 hours ago, GreenIron6909 said:

and how do i rescale it back to the original resolution?

 

You wouldn't. That kinda of defeats the purpose.

 

If you need images at the original resolution, you'll need to redraw your sprites, with the adjusted rotation in mind from the start.

[Sprite Rotation]

Did you ever hear about the HD transformations of Super Nintendo's Mode 7 graphics?

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/04/hd-emulation-mod-makes-mode-7-snes-games-look-like-new/

 

You'll probably need to do something similar.  In essence, increase the resolution and then do the transformation afterwards.

[ShapeMaker - by the Dwarf Horde v1.7.0.4 (May 21, 2022)]

I have converted ShapeMaker to a GpuDrawingEffect. It should work the same as before.

 

There are still a few tweaks I want to make to the plugin, but in the meantime, if anyone wants to test the changes thus far...
