  1. All Paint.NET plugins are written by individuals. Most (I assume) would rather host their plugin themselves.

    Having a link to one hosted anywhere else would require the permission of every plugin's author.

    I have a feeling many of them wouldn't give their permission to this, and some of them don't really post on the board anymore (and, hence, are difficult to reach).

    It's a great idea, but it's dependent on a bunch of other people and circumstances coming together.

    It's not really as easy as "let's make a page with all the plugins and call it good".

  2. Welcome!

    Adding layers only increases file size in file types that support layers (.pdn, .psd, etc.). Everything else just flattens the picture and the size remains the same as if there were only one layer.

    To explain how layers work.

    The red square is drawn on a lower layer, green over it, and blue on the top.

    As you can see, the green covers most of the red, and the blue covers some of both of them.

    I've taken those same layers and angled them differently to give you a different aspect of how they work towards each other.

    (The 3D effect was added to give a sense of depth.)

  3. A friend of mine just downloaded Paint.NET.

    She asked me where the gradient tool was. I told her, but she then explained that she had accidentally closed her Tools window. I told her just how to fix that problem too. She then asked if there were any PdN tutorials, I directed her to the Tutorials section, naturally.

    But all this got me to thinking, these are all questions that are asked on a daily basis. I was thinking of making an interactive Flash tutorial (much like the one I recently published about my drumset) that doesn't teach how to do an effect, but instead just covers the basics of Paint.NET and its interface. Explaining 'simple' problems like where the tools are/what they do. How to get your windows back, and other stuff like that.

    The only downside to this is that making anything comprehensive enough (especially in Flash) would take time. I don't mind spending the time it takes to make something like this, but I also don't want to just waste my time on something that's not going to help anyone.

    What do you guys think?

  4. Wait, I don't get what you're saying. You mean you only want to check for beta releases and ignore full versions?

    No, I'm saying that you can't change "Also check for pre-release..." w/o checking "Automatically check for newer versions..." first. 8)

    If you do that you're not checking for new versions at all. Pre-release betas aren't even an issue in that case.

    I must be missing something. :/

  5. Heh, can't say I love Sponge Bob, but that is pretty nice.

    A few anti-aliasing/feathering problems though.

    Edit: I'd really like to create something original in PDN at the moment, but I can think of anything thats not too easy, but not on Ash's or CMD's level. Any suggestions? (I would consider myself somewhere in between complete noob and an experienced PDN-er.)

    Hmm, just do what I do. Look around you, find something that seems sort of easy, and then try and make it as elaborate as you can. :D

    Ok, I've been in a bug making mood today. So here's Stingey the Wasp. :D He's on an epic journey to .... somewhere.
