This is VERY cool

Here's how I work: When I open/create a new image I immediately Save it as a PDN with an appropriately descriptive filename. When I'm done editing/ceating I save it again. For large complex or time consuming works I also save periodically during editing. Next I flatten and resize to the final dimensions (usually working at 2x size). Finally Save As to PNG/WebP/JPG or whatever format you want. I don't find this tedious at alll. Learning the keyboard shortcuts will make it even less painful for you.

Cleaned it up a bit. Then I had to go and fiddle with it

I used Random Shape Fill on a transparent layer for the stars. Duplicated the star layer. Bottom star layer + Trail 3D to create the 'paths'. Then radial transparent gradient to fade out the edges of the paths.

My attempt: Ok - so it's a bit hairy The "o" could lose the bottom nub and the "i" should have a longer tail. I found it dang hard to make the combination "lt" into a "b". Lots of fun! This should be a competition.

Found this plugin was broken under PDN 4.0 so I updated it. You should still use the enhanced version, which you can find here: Cellmaker Rev

True! If only all of these were so easy to fix. Dropped it from the list. Added. Thanks. Instead of going through your own copies (which I'm doing anyway for all the plugins) - how about double checking the ones I've listed?

Sorted. Your plugin pack pin was overdue IMHO.

Pinned.

Scriptlab? File: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\ScriptLab.dll Effect Name: pyrochild.effects.scriptlab.ScriptLab Full error message: System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add) at pyrochild.effects.scriptlab.ConfigDialog..ctor() at pyrochild.effects.scriptlab.ScriptLab.CreateConfigDialog() at PaintDotNet.Menus.EffectMenuBase.RunEffectImpl(Type effectType) in D:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\PaintDotNet\Menus\EffectMenuBase.cs:line 915

Not in the top panel you can't. I can only select one line at a time. I tried multi-selecting with mouse and CTRL and CTRL + A without success. I want to copy the list of plugin names.

Downloaded it in Feb 2013. You've updated it haven't you? I'll go download the latest one... Yup. Fixed. Sorry to be a bother.

Any chance the "Copy to Clipboard" button could be extended to the Plugin Errors tab in the Settings UI?

Yes it's safe. However you have to be careful what you click on in order to download the correct file. See this thread: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/27517-dumb-question-which-link-do-you-click-to-download-the-program/ The link posted by BoltBait should see you right

True. The plugin dates to early 2008. Let's hope not. We have quite a few old plugins ike this. There are approx 200 entries in the Plugin Index older than this one. That's 29% of the total.

Got this error today from one of my own old plugins. File: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\CellMaker.dll Effect Name: PaintDotNet.Effects.UserScript Full error message: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'PaintDotNet.Effects.ThreeAmountsConfigDialog' from assembly 'PaintDotNet.Effects, Version=4.0.5105.6977, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. at PaintDotNet.Effects.UserScript.CreateConfigDialog() at PaintDotNet.Menus.EffectMenuBase.RunEffectImpl(Type effectType) in D:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\PaintDotNet\Menus\EffectMenuBase.cs:line 915 Is this a 4.0 issue or my plugin? It used to work with 3.5.11 perfectly well so I'm assuming there's a change up in the PDN versioning.

No such template exists. Paint.net is an image editor and is not well suited to laying out complicated columns and rows of text.

Honestly the layout is going to be a nightmare. One month is going to be difficult to lay out - a whole year is going to be painful. I sometimes use Excel to layout complicated text and numerical bits - like this Then I import into PDN (as a screenshot) and remove the white background. This technique might save you some effort.

The price you paid seems too much IMHO. I'm in New Zealand and regularly buy Kindle books around the same price. The land on my Kindle for around $15NZ. Your bank is overcharging you. Sorry but the book isn't going to be published as a hard copy.

100% accurate? Unlikely. However you could try this: 1. Open your image. 2. Duplicate the layer :DuplicateLayer: 3. Set upper layer blend mode to Multiply.

I'd try @Red ochre's Overblur plugin. Settings: Blur Radius 23 Overblur -4.71 You'll have to tweak the colors a bit to get back to the original (if required). I think the hammer heads are an excellent "spraypaint" look. You might also get a better effect by removing the red background to another layer and blurring that independently.

Why not use one of VistaPrint's many designs and customization options? http://www.vistaprint.co.nz/gallery/INMCAAABAAAAAAA=/wallet-calendars.aspx That's got to be a whole lot easier than trying to lay out your own calendar from scratch.
