This is always the best place to start: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/index.html

Very pretty background. I like the flower from the middle one best. The text is very hard to read, you need a colour that stands out more. For the picture this tutorial should help you cut out the background, but I can't think of anything for integrating it into the picture.

Ah, ok. Outbox is a strange name for that... I kept thinking I had to do something else to actually send the message Thanks!

No problem. I had to search around for a while before I found it - it wasn't obvious where to look.

Go to User Control Panel, then under Overview there's an option for Manage Drafts Also in the User Control Panel, does anyone know what the difference between the Outbox and the Sent Messages is?

If you look at the status bar at the bottom of the screen while selecting, it will give you the height and width (and starting co-ordinates) of your selection. I find that helps me a lot when making mockups.

Would this give us anything that our beloved Shape 3D plugin can't do? This tutorial explaining how to map faces to the 3D cube would seem to do the same thing you're asking for here.

TwistedWhiskers, your horse is beautiful. I hope I'll see more of your work.

Everyone likes fire! Seriously, that's an easy tutorial that has a pretty high 8) factor.

LiquidCore, that's beautiful. Do you have a bigger (desktop-sized) version?

I like the little dot next to topics I've posted on. Not that I post enough to really need it, but for some reason it makes me smile.

Oooooooo *drool...*

I like the small window in the corner idea. This would give us a thumbnail of the whole image when working at large zoom levels (which I'm sure has been requested before) as well as the ability to pan in the thumbnail. Since I would use this for more than just panning, I'd like the ability to turn it on and off - it could go under the 'View' menu with the zoom options. For my uses, the thumbnail would be best somewhere around 200px (maintaining aspect ratio of course). Just my $0.02

Thanks for the updates, now it's even better.

Oh, that's lovely. If you could just get it to work on an object in a transparent canvas (instead of the whole canvas), it would be perfect.

I'd use this tutorial to cut out the people in your image. Then in the last step of the turorial, instead of deleting the background, blur it. edit: bad grammar

Wow fallback, I love your images. Especially the first and last ones.

Since Paint.net can't open this file without image dimentions (or whatever other metadata it's missing), why don't you try opening it in one of the programs it DOES open in and re-saving it? Then it might be able to open in Paint.net

It's the first item in the Popular Feature Requests (stickied right above this thread)

I like the idea of the stickied tuts showing techniques rather than how to make something specific. The ones that make a neat image are fun, but they aren't the ones I go back to multiple times. IMHO, I'd like to keep the more general technique tutorials that answer FAQs, like: Make an Animated .GIF with Paint.NET Using New Fonts For Paint.NET Cutting out images the easy way Shape3D#1:Different image on each sides of a cube etc. It might also be nice to have stickied threads with lists of links to the best tutorials in a category: Fancy Text Tutorials Glass orb / bubbles tutorials etc. Of course, everyone here probably has a slightly different way they'd like to see the tuts organized. I'm glad I'm not the one who has to figure it out :wink:

I'd definitely call the [*html] part a hack - that's done to remove the background image for IE6 only (no point in having a transparent image overlayed on top of the non-transparent version ) The filter itself is something developed by MS and we're using it for its intended purpose, so I wouldn't consider that part a hack.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you want to do, but I think you could: 1. delete the antialiasing to change the colour with a more solid image 2. then use the feather plugin to get the antialiasing on the edges back.

I found I could do it by: 1. Selecting the coloured parts of the car with the magic wand 2. Use Adjustments > Hue / Saturation to bring the saturation down to zero (makes the car gray) 3. Use Adjustments > Curves on the RGB setting to get the car to the colour I wanted
