[How to print actual size]

The popular quick-and-easy option is to paste the image into Microsoft Word, and then print from there.

 

 

Another good option is to use IrfanView, which has lots of printing customization:

I should dabble with a plugin and see if I can get all the commands wrapped up in one.

 

Plugins don't have the ability to do any of those operations.

[Export as PNG without Save As?]

1. Copy Merged (Ctrl+Shift+C)

2. Paste into New Image (Ctrl+Alt+V)

3. Save As (Ctrl+Shift+S)

You have anti-aliasing enabled.  It should be disabled in your situation.

A short cut for "don't save" would be better.

 

Okay, So press Ctrl+W, and then press N.

I also wonder why there is no short cut to closing an image without closing Paint.net.

 

You mean like Ctrl+W?

 

[The Plugin Browser v2.0.0.1 (Oct 15, 2023)]

Here's a pre-release of the Plugin Browser for the Paint.NET 5.0 beta.

 

In addition to the compatibility with Paint.NET 5.0, it has these changes:

• You can now apply multiple filters
• When you find the Effect you want in the list, you can now run it by double-clicking on the list item.  No need to move your mouse over to the "Run Effect" button.
• Minor theme improvements.

 

Let me know if you find any issues.

This is not a plugin, and should not be in the Effects folder.

This plugin doesn't support old versions of Paint.NET. You must update to the most recent version.

Is there a faster way of doing this? 

 

Yes, but not with Paint.NET.

 

If you're willing to use a command line, ImageMagick makes this very easy:

My computer is saying that the file isn't secure and could be tampered with and to find an alternate download.

 

Your web browser is simply telling you that MadJik's website does not use HTTPS, and therefore the connection does not use encryption.

This is why the warning uses the word "Potential";  It's possible someone (like your ISP) could tamper with the unencrypted connection, but it's extremely unlikely.

Due to the rise of HiDPI on Android many years ago, Google has long recommended against using bitmap/raster images for your UI.

 

You should convert your icons to vector images.

IrfanView has the ability to watermark images in batch.

Seems easier to just take a Snapshot from your media player, and then load that image into paint.net.

This is a very unsupported system.

I'm not surprised you're having issues. You're running Windows 7 on hardware that doesn't even have drivers for Windows 7.

At the bear minimum, you have no Ryzen chipset drivers and no Radeon GPU drivers. I wonder what other hardware components are not operating correctly.

@StudioLoading,

Please post the diagnostic information found within paint.net.

[paint.net 4.3.12 fails to install]

@NobodyInteresting

 

Sounds like you have an existing paint.net installation that has become broken. Please use this utility to remove the broken installation:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed

 

Afterwards, you should be able to install paint.net anew.

If you're using an old-school Hard Drive as primary storage, that's your problem.

 

To put it into perspective for you, a typical Hard Drive will do a sequential read at around 200 MB/s

Compare that to a modern Solid State Drive, which can do the same sequential read at speeds greater that 7,000 MB/s.

Those numbers are not typos.  So, a performance increase of more than 35x.

No one said a brand new computer is needed.  Even an upgrade to a cheap/slow ($25) SATA based SSD would be a "night and day" difference.
