Hi everyone.
I went from The Gimp to Paint.NET and there are two things I find myself
wishing they would be part of Paint.NET too, purely because I would like to
completely replace The Gimp with Paint.NET, without longingly looking back
at The Gimp.
1) The auto-completion of file-names by their extension.
The Gimp auto-adds .png for instance, when you choose Portable Network
Graphics. At present, Paint.NET adds no extension at all, you have to add that
for yourself, or you'll have a file Windows won't recognise.
There's probably a reason for this, but I myself can't think of what that might
be. Perhaps some textures for games, though being say.. gif, need a different
extension for the engine to see them. But that might be far-fetched.
2) More options for JPEG-quality.
In The Gimp, you have quite a few JPEG options, such as for quality and sub-
sampling, floating-point and more. Now, these options allow me to save a
JPEG without for instance the red "bleeding" as it does in many other programs,
including Paint.NET.
I would like to be able to reproduce saving high-qualuty, but low-filesize
JPEGS like I can in The Gimp. Though PNG is an option, the file-size of PNG
is much larger and even though most have broad-band, I prefer not to sub-
ject anyone to a longer wait than necessary when I want to show them a
picture of something.
I hope I have posted this in the right section, I did search before I posted,
so that this post should not be a repetition or duplicate of another.
Have a nice evening
*update* Here's a link to a screenshot of the The Gimp JPEG Options Dialog:
