[What is the maximum resulution I can use effects and stuff without my images getting all screwed up?]

I did some bisecting this afternoon. It's been broken for approximately 1 year.

 

Working: 22.4.1 (April 5, 2022)

Broken: 22.5.2 (May 23, 2022)

 

(there a few minor releases between these two versions that can be bisected further, but I just used what was already in my Downloads folder)

 

 

I also submitted a bug report to AMD.

Would it be possible to incorporate this feature of ignoring corrupt chunks in some sort of update

 

The updated /ignoreCorruptPDNChunks parameter was included in v5.0.4.

[What is the maximum resulution I can use effects and stuff without my images getting all screwed up?]

I just tried this with my RX 6600. Can confirm the issue.

Definitely a driver bug when the image resolution is high enough.

 

I'm not sure if this a new bug with the latest Radeon driver, as I never tried using such a large image before.

I will do some version bisecting over the weekend... to satisfy my curiosity.

Also make sure the graphics driver for your G2020 chip is up-to-date.

Paint.NET is crashing without a crashlog?  Okay, let's try this:

 

Right after the paint.net crashes, please open the Windows Event Viewer and look in the Application log.  (Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application)

The items should be sorted by datetime, so the most recent item should be at the top of the list.

 

Let us know what you find.

Is there any way to automatically expand canvas when pasting an image that is larger than canvas? I would really really like to skip that prompt

 

Edit -> Paste into New Image (Ctrl + Alt + V)

 

There's no other way.

OR launch Paint.NET with 3840x1080 resolution with one mouseclick.

 

Create a template file with your preferred resolution, and start paint.net by opening that file.

[Evan's Effects (open source as of October 16, 2012)]

@CircleBox

I found the cause the crash. It is indeed caused by bad values being passed to DrawArc.

The pen is too wide for the bounding rectangle!

 

I am able reproduce this in LINQPad.

(I'm using values I pulled out of the VS debugger at the time of the exception.)

Changing the pen width from 2 to 1, and the tiny arc is drawn successfully:

 

I'll post a bugfix release sometime within the next week or so.

[Picture Frame plugin?]

Hi @Lisa

 

You can try the Frames plugin.

https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/6210-frames/

 

If you actually provide a link to the video, we could more easily identify the specific plugin.

[Evan's Effects (open source as of October 16, 2012)]

Hi @CircleBox

Despite the exception message, this is not a VRAM issue (or even a system RAM issue).

 

Most likely, a bad value was simply passed to the DrawArc function.

If you have the steps to recreate the crash, it can potentially be fixed.

 

 

Alternately, you can try BoltBait's Hue / Saturation+ plugin.

[Dynamic Draw v3.3 (7/3/22)]

Make sure you're installed the plugin correctly.

You should have 4 files within a subfolder.

 

Within Paint.NET, you will find it in the menus:  Effects -> Tools -> Dynamic Draw

I'm not sure I understand your issue.

Is there an actual deficiency with BoltBait's plugin?  or are you just unwilling to adjust to a different plugin?

You simply delete those two DLL files.

[I changed canvas size default setting. But I don't know how to change it again.]

You can't set a default size for new images.

 

You're seeing 2,000 x 1,500 because there's an image on your clipboard with that size.
