Pro tip: always save you images as *.pdn images while you're developing them. The native pdn format preserves the layer structure. When you've finished working on the image AND saved it as a pdn, THEN use Save As... to save it in the format you desire (PNG, jpg, etc).

Nope. It uses grayscale Ref: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/AdjustmentsMenu.html

Try using this tool to completely remove the existing installation of paint.net: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall Once removed you should download and install a fresh copy of paint.net. Get it from the official website: http://www.getpaint.net/download.html

Can you show me (via screenshot)... 1. the contents of your paint.net folder 2. the list of extensions in the Save As... dialog

There is a list of plugins called the Plugin Index. You'll find a link in my signature. Don't hold your breath for this type of automation - plugins have restrictions on what they can access.

Welcome Nawor3565 Are you requesting anti-aliasing of the line or changes to the line curvature? I don't have Illustrator - can you provide a demo image?

Ishi, Ctrl+A = select all Ctrl + Shift + C = copy merged (layers) Ctrl + Alt + V = paste into new image or Ctrl + Shift + V = paste into new layer. REF: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/EditMenu.html

Your screenshot shows both Local Disk C: and D: drives. C:\program files\paint.net is the usual path for a default installation. The installation would only appear on D: drive if you did a custom installation. Can you confirm that it is D: drive that has your paint.net installation on it?

Great news! I can't claim the solution. Mods do have special powers (we only use them for good). Not that special

I used these transformation routines in my (unfinished) faux landscape generator. // Rotational transformation. // Rotates the layer rectangle into a diamond, with top-left corner rotated to the top-middle (i.e. by 45 degrees clockwise). // float x1 = (0.5f * (Width + x - y)); // float y1 = (0.5f * (x + y)); // However, I'm not rotating... float x1 = (float)x; float y1 = (float)y; // Project flat 2d point into 3d. // Simple 3d projection to convert x, y & height into perspective on a 2d screen. // The basic idea behind any perspective projection is to divide horizonal and vertical position by depth so // that objects further away appear smaller and vice-versa. float x2 = HalfWidth; float y2 = HeightMod; float z2 = HalfWidth - cVN + (y1 * (float)Amount10); // last float is the apparent view height. Larger = higher view, smaller = sea level view. float x3 = (x1 - HalfWidth) * (float)Amount11; // last is the view width. Larger = wider field of view. float y3 = (Width - y1) * (float)(Amount12/10) + 1.0f; // small float is the distance. Larger = further away, smaller = closer x1 = x2 + x3 / y3; x1 = (x1<0) ? 0 : (x1>=Width) ? Width-1 : x1; y1 = y2 + z2 / y3; y1 = (y1<0) ? 0 : (y1>=Height) ? Height-1 : y1; dst[(int)x1,(int)y1] = srcBgra; cVN is a Value Noise integer. Basically a heightmap value.

Please double check that the unzipped DLL is located in the \Filetypes\ folder.

Does this affect the built in effects or plugins or both?

Do you have the option to use the AGIF extension from the Save As... dialog?

As promised, here are a handful of new stick characters and a couple of poses for the default figure. StickFigures.zip

@ReMake's Russian translation is complete. I've added his project to the first post in this thread. Thanks ReMake!

The manual does two things: 1. It explains the UI controls. I've tried to make the UI as friendly as possible, so users should have little trouble figuring out what does what. 2. It explains how to make new stick figures from scratch. You want hands and shoulders? How about feet? Opposable thumbs? I'll upload my Snake and Spider figures later today to give you a starting point. First person to post a brand new stick figure wins a chocolate fish (...stick figure )

Ok. Let's have a look at your system. Please copy & paste the contents of the Settings > Diagnostics dialog into a post here. REF: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/SettingsDialog.html

This plugin might do the job http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/26600-full-spectrum-posterizer-plugin/

The signatures are breathtaking. Really beautiful. Great job Fuzzy!

^^ Wow. I didn't expect that. Thanks for the info dipstick. Pixey: glad you got it working. I'll add the PDF manual to the first post in case others also have permissions trouble. In fact I can see I'll need to rewrite some of the first post. ReMake has begun a translation into Russian. I'll absolutely endorse it of course! Thanks ReMake.

Highlight each of the entries in the top box of the Security tab dialog. One or more of them will have Full Control deselected. Click the Edit button to change the setting. Then Apply. Do that for each of the entries which don't have Full Control. Win 10 can be a bit if a pain in the security area. I've applied full control to nearly everything on my system

@Flaner: create an animated stick figure by rendering to successive layers. Each layer should contain the figure in a slightly different pose to create the illusion of motion. The layers can be animated (I.e saved) in the AGIF format with the Animated Image file type plugin. Once saved all you need to do is rename the file extension from agif to gif. *.STK files are data files not images. They contain XML data which StickMan parses to draw the figures. Iron67 - you are correct.

Eli: have you tried increasing the scale? It might give you some separation. If that doesn't work please save the figure and PM it to me. Seerose: Wonderful! Thank you. TechnoRobbo, Red Ochre & Boltbait: Thank you my friends! Lynxster4: I hope the file extension will not be a problem for you. I chose *.STK off the top of my head Flamer & Pixey: you can't open the manual because of the permissions set on the paint.net/Effects/ folder. Here's how to fix that... 1. Navigate to the paint.net installation folder. 2. Right click on the Effects folder > Properties 3. Click the Security tab. 4. Give yourself Full Control by checking the check box. 5. Apply this setting & click OK to exit.

Try running pdnrepair.exe. You'll find it in your paint.net folder.
