Very nice texturing effect MJW!

You would probably be best cloning the image to a control/container within the plugin UI. Then you could move the pointer & have that position reported back, all from within the UI. Example: ShapeMaker

Bravo! Thank you. I'm really glad you figured it out

Won't notice what?

November Update Eight new plugins this month. Enjoy! ClipDisplace - @Red ochre. Uses the tone of an image held in the clipboard to distort the current layer. Color Replacer - @AnthonyScoffler. Convert all pixels in the current selection from one color to another. For a pdn 3.5 compatible version see post #13. Gingham - @toe_head2001. Generates a Gingham pattern with custom color, width, and line styles. Jigsaw Puzzle - @toe_head2001. Generates the outline of Jigsaw Puzzle pieces. The pieces are tiled to fill the layer or selection. Note: does not generate edge pieces. PixelCounter 2 - @TechnoRobbo. Generates an Excel Spreadsheet guide for Book Folding (folding the pages of a real book into decorative designs). This plugin uses the source image to create the folding mask. It does not modify the image. SubLCD - @toe_head2001. This is a usability update of xrl's original SubLCD resize plugin (LCD Subsampling resize), which "is useful if you want to display your images in a LCD/Plasma screen as it gives the appearance of a little more resolution." Tartan - @toe_head2001. Build and render custom tartan/plaid patterns. Tattersall - @toe_head2001. Generates a Tattersall pattern with custom colors, line width, spacing, and line style.

Many thanks to you too racerx!

There is no snap-to-grid option in paint.net. There is only the pixel grid feature which requires a zoom level of 200% or greater in order to be displayed. Ref: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/Toolbar.html @TechnoRobbo has a plugin called PseudoSnap which snaps an object (pixels surrounded by transparent areas) to a grid. Will that help you out?

Much more elegant! I might add that to the guide. Thanks for the tip.

No one forgets that plugin name Help button is given as an example in the guide. Create the button, tie its click event to messagebox.show and you have a very easy help dialog.

Thanks Red. 4000 downloads and one rep point. You could say it doesn't have much of a reputation

I used that name in the unpublished guide. I was merely being......consistent.

Most users would be confused by dual boot modes IMHO. Better that paint.net operates the way it does and the user accepts the overhead created by a large number of plugins. They can always reduce the number of plugins loaded. I've found many plugins loaded are very rarely used.

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
