  1. I tried to open a picture and there was a box that said something about a new version being available and if I want to update now. I clicked ok to whatever the next questions were and it seemed that it went alright, but it didn't.Nothing had changed.

    So I went to 'www.getpaint.net' and followed the instructions to download paint.netv3.10. When it was finished I went to it and clicked all the 'ok's' to install it. I think it even said 'installation successful'.

    But when I open it now it says 'this is a pre release version...'

    What did I do wrong?

    Please someone explain to me in as many steps as posssible what I have to do.

    ps. I tried 'search' to see if something about this was already posted but didn't find anything.

  2. When there is a selection present, switch to the Move Selected Pixels tool, click and hold anywhere on the canvas. This action will make the selection disappear until you un-click. Be sure to hold the mouse still as to not to move your selection.

    "But, wait!".... the History Windows says you did infact move the selection.:shock: Well, if you didn't move the mouse then you didn't move the selection. I'm assuming that it's just simply recognizing you clicked on the canvas with that tool. In any case, if you're unsure if the selection moved or not, simply undo it.

    That is a good idea. I still can't do it while I'm making the changes and have to 'check' how it looks...But it helps. Thanks.

  3. I probably would have found out by now if it were possible but I'll ask anyway to make sure.

    Is there any way You can hide the 'selection line' ?

    If You for example have an area of a photograph selected and want to make color adjustments to it the line is in the way. You can't really exactly see how the 'transition' looks.

    I hope You know what I mean.

  4. 1. If You make a selection with one of the selection tools You can add to it by holding the Ctrl-key, right?

    Is there a way to take away from a selection?

    2. I know how to rotate a selection. Is there a way You can just flip it?

    Edit by CMD: No need for a size tag. We came in here specifically to read your question, you don't have to assault our eyes with a huge font to get our attention. :wink:

  5. I had a question about that tut but then asked it somewhere else. I can't delete my post so I just said "NM".

    When I came back I saw that snowstorm also had a question and I wanted to redirect him to the post that answered it.

    Only after I had done that did I realize that I could have used the other post for that.

    You people need to relax.

    Forgive me for messing with Your holy board and not following your commandments to a 'T' :roll:

  6. I followed the bubbles tutorial. It was pretty easy to follow.

    But I got stuck in the part about the soap-effect. The part about using the

    codelab plugin.

    It says:

    12. With the codelab plugin, load the radial color code.

    (or copy/paste the following code)

    I don't know how to do that. I have tried since yesterday to figure it out by myself but I just don't get it.I copied that stuff and pasted it ,but nothing happens.I tried all kinds of things

    I know it says 'for advanced users' but I really like those soap bubbles. I could use them in my collages...

    Could someone explain it to me in Baby-steps what I have to do, please?

    Maybe post a screen shot when the codelab window is open?

    I would really appreciate that.

  7. When I go to 'open with' all I see is word pad and Adobe Reader.

    I tried this plugin: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2580

    That's the one that helps you to draw stars... and everything worked just fine. I also tried a few others.As soon as they are on my desktop the file type is dll(properties) and I can just drop them in the effects folder.What could be the difference?

    I'm so frustrated because the 'water effects' is the only one I really want. :evil:

    Oh, and I'm a girl by the way. :)
