Ego Eram Reputo

If the uninstaller linked above truly does not work, try using Revo Uninstaller*. Other users have found this sometimes works. *I am in no way affiliated to this software

This is quite neat. I could play with it for hours I don't much like the colorization changing with the parameters. I'd prefer to be able to set the parameters to fix the shape AND THEN alter the colors.

December Update A handful of new plugins this month. Welcome to the three new authors, unyxium, iOrange & xchellx who have released their very first plugins! Sorry for the delay getting this edition up GIF Images and Animations FileType Midora Loads and saves GIF (*.GIF) and animated GIF (*.AGIF) files. A PDN 4.3+ update of the previous incarnation known as ImGIF/AGIF. Installation: unzip and copy the ImAGIF.filetype folder with all it's contents to PDNs FileTypes folder. Override HSV unyxium Edit any of the Hue, Saturation & Value (HSV) channels, setting all pixels to a new value. Think of this as the typical hue/sat tool except you are overwriting channels with a certain value (rather than adding/subtracting). Perlin Waves Pascal Uses Perlin noise to generate a wave texture. Source code supplied. QOI FileType iOrange Load and save QOI (Quite OK Image) formated images. The format losslessly compresses RGB/A images to a similar size of PNG, while offering a 20x-50x speedup in compression and 3x-4x speedup in decompression. Source available on GitHub. TXTR FileType xchellx TXTR file format support as found in the Metroid Prime series of games. Supports loading and saving of all texture types associated with the format. Voronoi Pascal Generate Voronoi diagram/cells/textures. These shapes partition a plane into regions close to each of a given set of objects. Source code provided.

Is CircleText.dll inside the Effects folder? If not - move it there & restart Paint.NET.

I'm late with the Index this month - so there is stil time I'll whack in the change when I update it tomorrow. Thanks People!

Musical score sheet - added! Great suggestion @Pixey

Welcome to the forum @JEfromCanada Find a great deal more info in the online documentation: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/ For keyboard & mouse shortcuts, check out this page: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/KeyboardMouseCommands.html and now, because this thread is ancient, I'll close it ;)

We sometimes struggle to come up with new ideas. Feel free to make suggestions!

Four years? I doubt @kegan32 is still waiting for the answer....

I wrote this introduction to layers for the PDN documentation: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html. I think it covers the basics succinctly. If you feel your take on layers is better, then go ahead and create a tutorial here on the forum. There are dozens of examples of user created tutorials aimed at beginners here: https://forums.getpaint.net/forum/20-beginner-tutorials/ Remember there are rules to be followed.

I've added it to the list. It should pop up next year sometime

This is the definitive tutorial IMO: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/28895-madness-worldbuilding-series/ If you're interested, I'm developing a plugin to quickly create maps like this... With a bit of work, the above can be turned into something like this...

No problem - you're just in time

Think outside the square.... Shapes, plugins & gradients.....

For examples of what Paint.NET can do, have a look in our Galleria

Is it finished/ready for release?

I've got these archived if you need any of them

You have the distilled knowledge from three forum Admins helping

Try this: make a rectangular selection (or press Ctrl + A to select the entire image) Press M on your keyboard (activates the Move tool) Hold down the Shift key (keeps aspect ratio the same) With the Shift key still down, Click-hold-drag one of the corner nubs. Is that what you want to do?

Another quick thing to try.... Windows key + Up Arrow (maximize). This is the keyboard shortcut for what @BoltBait suggested.

Welcome to the secret club If you are trying to find plugins, try using the Plugin Index. The documentation that @toe_head2001 linked to is another great resource for information.

Try this plugin

Done. It will show up next month.

How about "Incompatible"?

No problem. We have two options, flag them as Unsupported or Obsolete. Your choice really - and neither is permanent if you wish to revive them later.
