Please try to install the .NET Framework first. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/thank-you/net48 Then try to install Paint.NET afterwards.

Fixed.

You may want to run the System File Checker in Windows. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026529/windows-10-using-system-file-checker

Please remove the broken installation of Paint.NET with this utility: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall

This will be fixed in Paint.NET v4.2.14. More Info here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/116885-extremely-low-bit-depth-in-paintnet-4213/

Yup. On GNU/Linux and macOS a process can be elevated anytime after it has been started, but on Windows, elevation must happen at process creation.

Do you already have the latest version of the .NET Framework installed? https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/thank-you/net48

What didn't work? The tool didn't run? or it didn't fix the issue with Paint.NET?

Please run the .NET Framework repair tool. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2698555/microsoft-net-framework-repair-tool-is-available

Yes, WinRAR will work. I would be a lot easier to help you, if you got your story straight. First you said it was a .rar file, and then you said it was a .zip file. Now it's a .rar file again.

Like I said, an archive file (like a ZIP or RAR) is not an image. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14200/windows-compress-uncompress-zip-files

You think so? Well, open up the archive, and find out for sure.

@Toasted_0range, please don't reply to those very old forum topics. I've split your post into a new topic. A RAR is an archive format similar to the ZIP format. So, you can't just change an archive (.rar) into an image (.png). Is there an image file contain within the RAR archive?

There are no fonts included in Paint.NET. You can view the fonts installed on your system in - Control Panel --> Fonts - or in C:\Windows\Fonts That particular font is listed as System Bold.

@Scorpionsnake You really need to read our community rules. Locked. Until Microsoft fixes their support website, you can download the utility here: https://web.archive.org/web/20200416110041if_/http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/E/9/7E9188C0-2511-4B01-8B4E-0A641EC2F600/MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab

@skullzy Please install the latest version of the Color Balance plugin. The download link is at the top of this page.

The one with the "dotPDN LLC" label is from the Microsoft Store.

Both can open PSD files. Krita seems to be more popular.

Is that a question?

Downloading a massive PSD file full of pre-made images is not the way to learn about graphics. You should take a took at some tutorials: https://forums.getpaint.net/forum/18-tutorials-publishing-only/

You can see information about system memory in the Windows Task Manager. It won't make any difference though, because of the way Paint.NET stores images/layers in memory. Hopefully that will change in the future. So, unless you have hundreds of gigabytes of RAM, you won't be able to open that enormous PSD file in Paint.NET. I suggest you open that PSD file in another Program. Krita or Gimp should be able to handle it better. Both are free.

You're talking about Storage. ie, hard drive capacity. System memory refers to RAM.

You're trying to open a PSD file that's 1.38GB. Of course you don't have enough system memory for that. More information here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/8606-out-of-memory-to-loadedit-an-image-read-this-first/

If you can throw money at the problem, then send it to the folks that can create a solution: - CodeWeavers (the primary sponsor of Wine; employs many Wine developers) - or directly to the Wine project.
