Why don't you just export it in PNG, in Inkscape? You'll get a zillion options to tweak the size and stuff. I think you don't understand the difference between container, vector, and pure bitmap format. I already do that... but thank for mentioned it. But I think that the abillity to open vector files would be a great asset for the program. Because I know there's a lot of young designers that need software that they could afford to develope their talent. If Paint.NET add this feature it would be awesome, not just for future designers but for designers like me... But thanks again for the suggestion. I will try to attach a file of an art I just create with Inkscape then retouched with Paint.NET, for a tutorial I'm working on of how to create logos. Is an example of a Copyright image.

That would be awesome!... Does anyone could do that?

I understand that Paint.NET is not to create a vector or edit a vector image. Maybe I don't explain myself well, sorry for that. What I ask, if it possible to make Paint.NET able to open one of those formats mentioned before but rasterized and on a transparent layer. For example, create and image in Inkscape, a nice smiliey like the one in my avatar, then add effects in Paint.NET to create a descent PNG for a web site Could that be posible? Thanks for your answers. You all doing a great job on this Paint.NET. I tried last night and is great. Raphie, http://www.raphiee.com

I just download and installed a copy of Paint.Net, I'm new to the software and would be great to add an import file where users could upload other formats as vectors images (.ia, .fhd, .drw). I use to create icons and other web utilities using Illustrator and Photoshop. Now I'm working on design tutorials and I would like to offer affordable alternatives to photoshop and illustrator, and Paint.NET is the only application that I know of, other than PhotoPlus from Serif Software, that is free and is a good alternative out of photoshop. But, one of the things that makes photoshop a basic design tool is that is able to open files as .eps (Encapsule PS), .ai (adobe illustrator, .fhd (Macromedia FreeHand) and many other vector based images. I found a opensource software that sustitute illustrator, but without this import capacity, other than work with photos, I can't use Paint.NET as an alternative. Does anybody accept this challenge... I would appreciated. Thanks for your attention, Raphie http://www.raphiee.com
