Look in the Effects > Iterative Lines menu.

It means you have a broken installation of paint.net on your system and this is stopping you installing it again. What you need to do is remove the previous installation before reinstalling. See item 10 in this thread

Have you tried the series of chords marked as the solution above? Recently this was posted: Ctrl + Shift + C Ctrl + Alt + V Ctrl + S Ctrl + W

^ this. Just this

Better to add your pasted element in a new layer. This way areas of transparency are retained and do not overwrite the existing layer.

I think after more than a year we can consider this one closed. If you wish to restart the discussion please start a new thread.

Make your selection Ctrl + C (copy) Activate new image Ctrl + Shift + V (paste in to new layer)

Ed Harvey and not @Curtis by the looks of the Exception.....

In the Edit menu is an option to Copy Selection. Use this to copy your existing selection(s). Now do the Ellipse selection (replacing the previous selections) and rotate it to your wishes. Finally paste the original selection back: Edit > Paste Selection > Add (Union)

See the thread where you downloaded Relief Map Generator (link above). There is a discussion & mini tut a few posts in: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/120809-relief-map-generator/?do=findComment&comment=600506. Basically, you can use Alpha as the mask. Anything opaque gets the map treatment, anything transparent gets ignored (and is rendered as 'sea'). >>>

I understand - but there are 96 colors in a palette and there are few key combinations left unassigned. PDN uses a LOT of keys already. What keys were you thinking of?

Google says that's a file system error. Can you show us the actual error message? A screenshot would suffice.

December Update Here's a cool new plugin for you of an artistic bent..... Bold Brushstrokes Robot Graffiti Reinterprets the source image as if it was composed from many overlapping brush strokes.

You'd go broke exposing clients to bad punctuation and terrible grammar...

Only as collections of pixels on their own layer. See here: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html The puzzle piece and the heart are on their own layers - and can be moved around as a single item by moving the entire layer.

It should be in Effects > Render (under R for Relief Map...) If it is not there, check the Settings for plugin errors.

After a selection is made with any of the Selection Tools, hit the M key to activate the Move tool ( ). The control nubs will appear around the region. Grab a control nub and use the keyboard arrow keys to push it around. The pixels under the selection outline will follow. If you want to manipulate the selection outline (and not the pixels in the image), Hit the M key twice (aka Move Selection Tool ). Now moving the control nubs alters the selection outline without changing the image.

I really like this. Makes me wistful for the paint-by-numbers artworks of the 70's.

It should work with any length string. We're not clipping the length at all. ...looks like Imgur are serving different formats. I'll investigate.

There are 96 colors in a palette. That's a lot of keys to assign.

Expand the Colors Window (click the More button) Your current palette is in the bottom left corner. The swatch is clickable with both left and right mouse buttons (= Primary and Secondary colors respectively). This is going to be much faster than trying to use a keyboard to enter the colors.

PDN are lossless <edit: beaten by @BoltBait> Put your source images on their own layer and save, save, save (i.e. make multiple copies). A good method is to date stamp the filename so you keep up-to-date and can see the history of the image at a glance.

Did you first remove the broken installation with the tool mentioned in step one?

You are missing the point. Just because it appears "simple" to you does not mean it is so. Rick puts an enormous amount of effort into testing and refining new features. They don't happen just because someone thinks it "should be easy". Paint.net was more than half a million lines of code way back in 2019. It could easily be double that now.

Do you have the Platform Update installed? It's a requirement for Classic installs under Win 7. See https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/SystemRequirements.html Reminder:
