This is a very good plugin, it may not match Photoshop, but it is a very good alternative. Thanks for publishing it.

I have a computer that crashes frequently (and freezes) when large amounts of loads occur at once, because of this, I frequently lose work when using Paint.Net, including when it crashes. I know that I should frequently save files, but I also do not have a good memory to do this, so it is a problem. Could something be implemented, such as the feature in FireFox, when Paint.Net closes unexpectedly there is a screen that comes up saying: "Paint.Net closed due to error. Would you like to restore the session?" With the options of: "Restore" or "New" Is this possible?

Oh, must have misread that. Nevermind then.

Could there a new tool(s) be made that could have Sharpening, Blurring, Brightening, and Darkening functions? Also, could it be made that effects could be made into a brush, with whatever settings appear in a box, where you could set them to how you want, and then be able to use the brush tool to carry the function out? Like Photoshop's dodge tool.

Suggestions: 1. Add Menus in Effects Tab -I am not sure if you can already do this, but for effects, you can make subfolders in the effects tab (well, some effects already are classified into sub folders) by making folders in the effects folder of the Paint.NET folder in the Programs area of your computer which you can drag and drop the effects into. 2. Add Gradient effect for text -This is something I am assuming photoshop or paintshop has. It makes logo making easier. 3. Adding 3-D text -Kinda like Microsoft word, but with more precise positioning and lighting. 4. Line/Circle/Square/ETC. Gradients -Read #2. Effect Requests: 1. Lighting -If there is already a plugin like this, tell me. It lets you add light to something from a certain point. I will add more.

Has there been any progress on this yet?

Can someone make an addon/effect that will add an unfreez box to paint.NET in the effects window that lets you make animated images with frames if you set them a certain way? I have read something that animated images cannot be made with paint.NET, but it would be very helpful to be able to do it via paint.NET. Although, I do not know how the general editing area will look unless you can edit one frame of the animation there. Frames in that statement is referring to another box being made that lets you add frames in the order that you wish the animation to start at and end from. (start=top; end=bottom) Thanks for your time.
