Ego Eram Reputo

Reckon this might be the problem. JPG's are notorious for replacing transparency (which they don't support) with white.

Memory for an individual image being edited with paint.net can be calculated with this formula (Width x Height x 4) x (Layers +2) Ref: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/8606-out-of-memory-to-loadedit-an-image-read-this-first/ Your image: (5407 x 2085 x 4) x (30+2) = 1.44gb with around 45mb for each additional layer (I used 30, you said there were more). Yes paint.net 4 is heavily optimized to make efficient use of memory. You're pushing the limits to open such a large image with that many layers with only 4gb of ram. Your options are to increase ram, accept the performance hit, break up the image into smaller units or lower the number of layers. One way to lower the number of layers is to use one layer to host multiple objects which remain reasonably widely spaced. An example might be cities and towns on a map. They are not likely to overlap so combining on a lower number of layers might be possible, rather than using one layer for each element.

Question time.... is this plugin housed in the same DLL as your FFT plugin? I'm asking because the DLL's have the same name - meaning one effect will overwrite the other.

I have to agree: BoltBait IS awesome. This is another fine example of why text should always be placed on its own layer

Hey Mikuo - welcome to the forum I'm pretty sure you're asking about cropping an image. Here's how I would approach this: 1. Open the image 2. Activate the Rectangle Selection tool (or press S on your keyboard) 3. Drag out a selection covering the area you want in the top right (or any) corner. 4. Press the keyboard combination Ctrl + Shift + X to crop to the selected area. You don't need to resize anything! 5. Use File > Save As... (not File > Save) to save the image under a different name. File > Save would save it under the original filename, overwriting the original image with the modified version.

^^ this is a development cycle I can relate to

Ooooh - like that!

UI and effect screenshot. Feel free to add this into the first post toe-y.

I've split this question out from the thread you posted in. It needs it own space

Welcome to the forum Saitentanz. It sounds like a long time to process a single image. How about showing us an example image so we can see what you're dealing with & trying to achieve? Upload the image to a hosting site and post the link here.

Take a screenshot of the error message. Upload it to an image hosting site & post the link here.

I'd try this Color Match. It applies the palette from one image to another. Might be worth a shot.

Its probably a damaged download. Delete it and try downloading it again - from the official site: http://www.getpaint.net/download.html

Thank you Pratyush. I shall add you to the list of those who walk in the light. Not like racerx, he's definitely in the dark zone. TR is somewhere in between, in the twilight zone "do do do do"

I like the name Blur Fill. Accurate and elegant. Why change it because you're adding options?

Very cool! I like this idea. :star: :star:

Yay for tooltips! Thanks TR!

The search function in paint.net returns text hits that are found in the paint.net documentation, or on the website, blog or this forum. It won't return files, only links to the matched text found at these resources.

Do you wish to isolate the muscle group(s) (say one per card) or are you trying to apply a highlight? If you wish to highlight - you may want to consider this... 1. Open the image 2. Duplicate the layer :DuplicateLayer: or Ctrl + Shift + D 3. With the upper layer active, apply Adjustments > Black & White (Ctrl + Shift + G) 4. Use the Eraser on the upper layer to erase the deltoid muscle. 5. Flatten (Ctrl + Shift + F) and File > Save As.... This is a quick and simple technique which should save you time. It also keeps the other muscles visible as a reference. If you 'undo' until the erasing from step 4 is completely removed, you can then erase a different area of muscle using the same two base layers.

That doesn't work when a selection has been cast with one of the selection tools.

'Enter' also works. See: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/ShapeSelectionTools.html

Remember: this requires that text be on it's own transparent layer. Which it should always be

You could also use Composition Tool

I can see all the women reading this and going..."Yup. Males".
