There are a few solutions, the best one being to use an underscore instead of a period. Another would be to explicitly denote the filetype in the filename after entering the date. Those are probably the simplest ways. Not using periods would be preferable.

I've tried to duplicate this issue with PDN 3.30 and an Office 2007 application running concurrently, and I cannot get the save-as feature to do anything but come up as soon as I make the selection for it. I even had Outlook and Word open while running PDN. Edit: My system specs are similar, except I have 1.5 Gig less RAM and have an AMD 3500+ processor (using a 32-bit XP due to some applications that won't work in a 64-bit OS).

You'll want to edit the post title to be more descriptive. You will either want a .GIF or .PNG format for the file, since those formats keep transparency. If you have fewer than 256 colors, .GIF would be a good one to use. If you have more, use .PNG.

That looks pretty close to a real delaminated b/c flute sheet of corrugated. Impressive.

This is kind of the point of having layers: To be able to affect each layer with a separate effect. If you need to have all layers get the same treatment, you either don't create layers and just run the effect or you collapse the layers and run it. I don't see a point, even if this were possible, to do something of this nature.

This one has my vote for first and last post as an eerily accurate prophecy.

You need to edit the title to something more descriptive, and you might want to visit the rules. For the layers issue, you need to flatten the image before you save it. That would be the Image menu, and select "Flatten" (or CTRL+Shift+F at the same time). What is happening is that your image is being saved as a Paint.NET file instead of something else. When you save the file after flattening, you can then choose the file format to use (JPG, GIF, PNG, or whatever you prefer).

I also tried it with a paste of my desktop (which should be just as good as a screen print of any other thing). No problem. I selected a portion, and used ctrl+shift+x, and got just the selected portion on screen.

At first, I was trying to make a waterfall with a real image as the back and foreground. Then I just decided to mess around a bit and made this entirely with PDN. I thought it was fairly decent.

Well, thanks! I know I have a long way to go, but the default tools and the plug-ins really make it so much easier to work with images. I have been looking over the tutorials, though a couple are hard to follow for me at the moment. I am kind of proud that I made a rotating 3-D gif before the tutorial was written.

This was the first plug-in I got when I installed Paint.NET last week, and it is stunning. There are so many things this allows. Thank you for doing such awesome work.

I just installed Paint.NET last Thursday and have spent maybe 8 hours total using it. Here is just one of the images I made: The friend in the picture really liked this image. All I needed for it was clouds, lines, the magic wand, some erasing, and feathering. I think it took about 15 minutes. I don't have words for how impressed I am with this, because I do not have the slightest bit of artistic sensibility. If I can do this well at something I stink at, I can only imagine what some of you more skilled people can do.
