Question: have you seen this thread? It might be the reason for/solution to your problem.

Replaced you image with a link. That's the way to post them if they are larger than 800 pixels Also moving this thread to Paint.net Discussion & Questions section for you (it doesn't really belong in the Grand Theory of Everything section ). <moved>

Ah. Right. Sorry. I have my psychic abilities turned off to try & blend in with the humans......

I'm convinced I've seen a plugin to draw the 'Rule of Thirds' grid on a layer. I cannot find it just at the moment, but I'll keep looking! If I can't find it, it would be easy to create - any votes for such a plugin?

You're in exactly the right area: Paint.net Discussion & Questions. The plugin section of the forum is reserved for publishing finished plugins, so requests (which often have non-plugin solutions) can be posted here.

You could also try the brand new Add Depth plugin.

Ah ok. I think we were on a different wavelength. You have made a selection, now you want to move it and/or resize it, yes? Do you want to move it to a specific location? Or move it a fixed number of pixels? (think panelling plugin: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/2617-panelling-effect-plugin-ymd100718/ ).

You can set the selection size via the toolbar (look for 'Selection Mode' in the toolbar when rectangle select is active), choose mode of 'fixed size', fill out the size you want to select. More > http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/Toolbar.html (look under Selection Tools) Now position the mouse at the top left corner of where you want your selection and click.

Get a cheap external HDD and throw all your files onto that. A 1TB drive is absurdly cheap storage. When your new computer arrives, plug in the HDD. Job done

Use this as a base to get you started. It's a wonderful rust effect, which without the metal plate texture, would make an excellent dried bloodstain. http://forums.getpai...rust-corrosion/

Try Splatter with your primary color set to 7F0000 (once installed, Splatter resides in the Effects > Artistic submenu) Repeat some 'splattering' with color of 5B0000. Now play with a large diameter brush with the Smudge plugin (found in Effects > Tools)

Yes, this: you'll find the thread Rick is talking about here: http://forums.getpai...uble-read-this/

I only remember a handful - but that's one I regularly use!

Or the keyboard shortcut CTRL + Shift + X (crops to current selection).

An 'object' needs to be on an otherwise transparent layer. Try isolating a shape on a new (empty=transparent) layer and see if outline works for you.

Hey Maccas, Great first plugin! I really like the way you've created this. Nice icon and a good explanation of how the effect works & how to use it. [code// Routine to ensure intergrity of integer to byte conversion private byte Clamp2Byte(int iValue) { if (iValue < 0) return 0; if (iValue > 255) return 255; return (byte)iValue; } // Routine to ensure intergrity of double to byte conversion private byte Clamp2Byte(double dValue) { if (dValue < 0) return 0; if (dValue > 255) return 255; return (byte)Math.Round(dValue); } [/code] Both these routines can be replaced with a call to Int32Util.ClampToByte e.g. This: outB = Clamp2Byte(mixX*mixY*([color="#0000ff"]double[/color])srcPixel1.B + Becomes: outB = Int32Util.ClampToByte(mixX*mixY*([color="#0000ff"]double[/color])srcPixel1.B + You're right that plugins can only access the active layer. This is not just a limitation of Codelab.

Hi Daedalus6174, welcome to the forum. This section of the forum is reserved for the publishing of tutorials. Your question is better suited to the paint.net discussion & questions section, so I'll move it there for you. In answer to your question, this recent discussion might be of interest: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/22366-generating-mini-grids/page__p__357495entry357495 Two plugins are mentioned. You can find out how to install plugins here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/36-how-to-install-pluginsgeneral-plugin-troubleshooting/

I'm guessing you need to install the required .NET framework prior to the paint.net installation.

The last three posts have said all that I wanted to say.

If the file extension is ZIP then something like WinZip. If you haven't got that installed, try Google to find other programs that will unzip a Zip file.

What you did has absolutely NO relevance here. Period. You know nothing about the internals of paint.net so you can drop that I-did-it-so-can-Rick attitude right now.
