This is what I see when I try to edit the thread for my plugin pack: (more accurately, when I click on "Save Modified Post") The error has persisted all day. I can edit my other posts without issue though.

Run this utility: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall

Try installing v4.6.2 of the .NET Framework. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53345

Ok, if it won't let you reinstall on top of the existing installation, the next logical thing to try is to completely uninstall the .NET Framework, and then install it again.

LOL. It's not about the photo itself. People like to see what changes were made compared to the original photo. Are people more likely to vote for you if you've made many changes rather than very few? Who knows... Personally, I vote based on the finished entry. It's also good to give credit if it's a third-party photo. Some third-party photos are under a license that requires attribution, where you have to link to the original (or just mention the source/author in some cases). Even if it's a public domain image, it's good to give credit.

That is a known bug in the current version of paint.net, and it will be fixed in the next version. Instead of using the Zoom Tool, you can use Ctrl + Mouse Scroll Wheel instead. http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/KeyboardMouseCommands.html

Before you delete anything else, make sure it is the plugin(s) causing the issue. Just rename the Effects folder, so paint.net can't find any effect plugins. Then open paint.net, and see if the menus are functional.

The screenshot PDN1603Diag shows it can't find the WinForms assembly. Your installation of the .NET Framework must be broken. FixDotNet? Are you referring to the official Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool, or something else? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135

In the example effect I attached, I forgot to change the StringFormat from the default, which adds 1/6 em to either side of the string. In my "Nameplate" image, I remembered to change the StringFormat in order correct that behavior. @@Zarklord, are you changing the StringFormat? StringFormat.GenericTypographic will remove the 1/6 em. @@Eli, I updated that example effect, download it again if you want. StringFormat.GenericTypographic: Default StringFormat:

Here's "Nameplate" with an outline representing the dimensions returned from MeasureString. I would think 5 extra pixels on the left & right is negligible, especially when working with higher resolutions.

What? Are you wanting to modify existing text, or is your effect also generating the text? Please clearly communicate what you're wanting your effect to do. List the steps if you have to. I think everyone is a bit confused.

Did you not try using FitSurface, as I described in my earlier post? It does what you want. Here's a basic example I threw together. SelectionText.zip

You can use FitSurface to resize the image to the size of your custom surface. Ex: Surface customSurface = new Surface(customWidth, customHeight); customSurface.FitSurface(ResamplingAlgorithm.Fant, sourceSurface);

I just used this plugin 2 hours ago. Worked fine. Make sure you've installed it correctly. The .dll file needs to be placed in the 'FileTypes' folder, rather than the 'Effects' folder.

@BoltBait recently created an installer template for Plugin Packs. I've added an installer based on his template to the first post.

@Markus13, I've sent you a PM with some information about paint.net v3.36.

A tiny suggestion for the first line: static readonly int NB_LEVEL_GRAY = 256;a const would be more appropriate than a static readonly in this case. const int NB_LEVEL_GRAY = 256;Not that a makes any real difference.

Ok, but what about the screenshot of the error message you are seeing?

None of us have verified that you have Windows 10. You claim to have it, but you could be misinformed for all we know. If you wish to attach a screenshot here on the post, follow these steps: 1) Click on "More Reply Options" 2) Click on "Browse" 3) Select your screenshot file 4) Click on "Attach This File" 5) Click on "Add Reply"

That's clearly an older version of Windows with a custom Windows 10 visual style.

Most plugins simply don't supply a preview image.

Please install this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Then install paint.net afterwards.

The Google search is good in many cases, but the built-in forum search is still useful (and superior) for some things. For example, if I want a full list of the tutorials you have published. Hidden Content: All published tutorials by @Ego Eram Reputo:

I fail to see how that's a problem. Why does the canvas need to stay centered? The current behavior seems more reasonable and expected; it uses the position of the cursor for zooming. Also keep in mind you can use Ctrl+B to toggle zoom to window.
