Are looking for a technical explanation, or just a simple guide on how to use it?

Sounds like input lag from your Wacom. Do you see any similar input lag in any other programs when using your Wacom? By the way, you're not using the Brush; that's the pencil tool.

You need to disable MacType.

Object of the Fortnight #16 – Wrapped Christmas Present The deadline for entries is 2100 UTC (9:00 PM UK Time) on Friday, December 22. Please see the Countdown Timer for exact time remaining. Competition Rules: 1. Your entry must not have a background/backdrop/scene; just the object on a transparent canvas. Shadows and reflections are fine. 2. Your entry must be 100% made using Paint.net. Don't use another image editor. Don't use stock images/photos (in full or parts thereof). 3. Max dimensions are 600x600. 4. You may modify or replace your image until the deadline. 5. Multiple entries per entrant are allowed. Make a separate post for each one. You may link to alternative versions, but they will not be part of your entry. This thread is for posting competition entries only. If you're not posting an entry, don't post here. If you want to talk about any of the entries, or ask a question regarding the competition, you can do so in the discussion thread found here.

If you really want to know, it sounds like you're technically minded enough to figure it out on your own... Load up a new Windows VM, and compare the registry key before and after a paint.net installation.

Is that not the best/easiest way? Especially considering you can constrain your selection to an exact ratio. The alternative is to Resize the Canvas, manually calculating the correct dimensions based on the ratio.

So, simply having paint.net installed (but not necessarily running) causes Explorer.exe to crash. I would venture to guess that paint.net's Thumbnail Provider is causing Explorer to crash. Try disabling thumbnails in Explorer, and see if that makes a difference.

Did you update to Win 10 1709?

You may vote for up to 9 entries. Poll will close on at 0700 UTC (7:00 AM UK Time) on Thursday, December 7. See the Countdown for exact time remaining

Sure it does. If your browser doesn't offer to open it as a Zip, save it to disk and manually add the .zip extension to it.

That plugin is broken, but shouldn't cause paint.net to crash. Sounds like you only copied PaletteFromImage.dll into the effects folder, but not it's dependency file: PDNPalette.dll Both are needed. Redownload it, and install it properly. https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/15318-palette-from-image-tool-20091111/ Then again, it is broken, so in the end, I'm not sure what good it would do.

No, there is not. There's a reset button on the far right on the angle trackbar; the blue arrow. It will reset the angle back to the default value of 0. I assume it will be easier to calculate your value(s) from 0 than some arbitrary number.

The issue is caused by the Nvidia drivers on Windows 10 1703 (Creator's Update).

Please update, and let us know.

Based on the stack trace you posted, I would guess that the number of points (x,y points) the plugin is trying to use for a bezier curve is invalid. So, a programming oversight. i.e. The number of points ought to be validated before trying to render a bezier curve with them.

You can use TR's Alpha Cutter plugin to "cut the object out".

Only 2GB of RAM?! Yikes. What's your memory usage look like in the Task Manager? I suspect it's at capacity. Your page file is probably getting hammered too.

Technically, it goes on the line preceding the Effect class, as it's an Attribute decoration of that class. Also, you don't need to use the constructor with DisplayName in it, as it can just get that from your implementation of IPluginSupportInfo. No need to type the name twice. [PluginSupportInfo(typeof(PluginSupportInfo))] class MyEffect: Effect {

Have you tried copying the file onto one of your other drives, and then opening the copy? I would also recommend trying to open the file while in Windows Safe Mode... Just in case you have some sort of overzealous "security" software doing some low-level disk sandboxing or the like. Probably won't make a difference if it's a separate disk. Or is it just a separate partition on the same disk?

Sounds like you need to run chkdsk in Windows to repair your disk.

Sorry, that sort of automation is not possible in paint.net.

But you said the cells would be 1/8th of an inch. You need to resize the image by like 1,000%, and then run Pixelate. That should do what you want... if I understand you correctly. (1,000% is just an example. You need to do the math based on the individual images.)

Rename the extension to .zip. Extract the XML file from the zip. Load the XML file into Shape3D.
