Ego Eram Reputo

On my PC keyboard NUM Lock is ON. if that helps.

Commercial printers these days can work with RGB. Just accept that there will be tiny variations in color. Nothing that should upset you unless you're creating a color chart or something specific of that nature.

It will always be broken in to chunks. Paint.net breaks the job into ROI (rectangle of Interest) blocks and feeds these to the render function. BoltBait has written an excellent guide to this process http://boltbait.com/pdn/CodeLab/help/overview.asp

I'm pretty sure StaticName refers to the plugin name in paint.net's menu system. For a dialog title you might put "PornoErotica plugin - by EER © 2015", however the menu title would just be more concise like "PornoErotica". Having two entries allows a more verbose dialog title = more information.

It's called PDNWatermark, but it doesn't work with the latest version of paint.net. Elsewhere on the forum I wrote this in order to help someone place a watermark copyright © symbol on an image - this will work for any text based watermark. If you want to use an image as a watermark, use this technique

Hey John, welcome! I believe Red Ochre is referring to this thread http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/32206-tool-windows-have-huge-exit-buttons/

My 2 cents.., Forget PPI. It doesn't amount to anything Images are best rendered at the size they are specified. So in your HTML or CSS where the Height and Width are stated for a specific image - make the actual image that size. Another option is to NOT specify the height and width and simply place the image within a container like a DIV. Filetype may also be an issue. I use the *.PNG file format for almost all occasions. The exception here is photographic type images which do better in JPG format (smaller file size). PNG's can be compressed with the OptiPNG plugin while in paint.net.

Use the Magic Wand to select the red areas. Tip: You can chain multiple areas into one larger selection by holding down the Ctrl key. When you have the red areas selected, press the Delete key to remove the colored pixels leaving transparency. In paint.net transparent areas are given a gray & white checker pattern to indicate 'there is nothing here' (the checkerboard pattern won't show up in your images). In order to retain the transparent areas you will need to save the image in a format which supports transparency. PNG format does, JPG doesn't.

I wrote* the latest version of the website (html5 + CSS) using PSPad. I'm kind of old school and like to assemble web pages by hand Now that the website is live, we have migrated to GitHub to handle management of the docs (changes and revisions). I'm using Visual Studio to write new content and code because the GitHub extension makes integration a breeze. *When I say 'I' I mean that I wrote the code for the layout and most of the new content. Technorobbo did an awesome job creating the images. Red Ochre, David Atwell, BoltBait & of course Rick assisted me greatly during the process. It really was a collaboration. One I'm rather proud of.

Neat trick isn't it?

No one has more than I. Trust me My recommendation: ruthlessly cull some plugins. Paint.net will start faster and you'll be able to find plugins more easily.

Please do. I've already made several changes and additions as a direct result of discussions on the forum.

@Fuzzy - We're updating the online documentation website as a direct result of some of your suggestions. ETA is around a week. Give or take. It depends of how busy we all are

Move Selection is not required - the technique works when you're actually casting the selection i.e. the Rectangle Select tool (or any other shape selection tool) is active.

The plugin BoltBait mentioned is part of his plugin pack. Find it using the link in his signature. For help installing plugins, read this awesome guide (also by BoltBait) https://boltbait.com/pdn/InstallingEffects.php

And so it should! Actually I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

^ this. 100% correct. The forum search tool is....not great The custom search searches all the online resources related to paint.net. The blog, website, help files and forum.

Align Object requires your 'object' to be surrounded by transparent pixels. All of the 'object' plugins work in this way. If you put a filled shape on a transparent layer align object will align it for you as expected. Running the plugin on a layer filled with pixels doesn't give it any room to move the opaque pixels. Imagine the transparent pixels are the free space you can move the object around in.

The dot is an involuntary click point. Its most likely a tiny selection. If it bothers you change the default tool in the Settings > Tools dialog. The Color Picker tool doesn't render anything to the canvas, so that might be an option.

Really? It works for me.... 1. Start dragging out a rectangular selection (fixed ratio or Normal). 2. Keep the first mouse button down and then also hold down the second mouse button. 3. With both buttons held down, drag the selection shape around the canvas. 4. While both buttons are down, the arrow keys move the selection around on a per pixel basis.

It started out as my own reference tool. It's grown over time, but is still far from ready for a public release.

When casting a selection hold down the second mouse button (yep - both of them). Now you can drag the selection around. Release the second button to go back to normal selection casting. It may be that the arrow keys will move the selection when both buttons are down (I'm not at my PC and can't check right now).

MJW some of the Dwarves collaborated on such a guide. I will send you a PM and a link.

Gradientplugin and Engrave/Emboss removed from the list. Thanks to ReMake for the corrections.

Please update post #3 (i.e. remove the earlier version). Thanks.
