Help! paint.NET will only save as pdn!

Try again. I can only suggest that you may have selected the wrong file type by mistake. -
Looking for a special plugin
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Zoom's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
The only other shadow plugin around is this one: Shadow effect Is that what you're looking for? -
If you are 'cm oriented' then shouldn't you learn to work in cm's ? At 2.5cm/inch it's not that hard! Decoupling the two sounds like a nightmare to me.....

I did it for you In future if you need to edit a title, click on the Edit button under your post, then click on the Use Full Editor button. The full editor will give you a textbox where you can overtype the original thread title. Try it now so you get used to editing your posts & titles. Welcome to the forum!

You're welcome...., -
Gosh. That is just..... stunning MadJik. Really. Wow.

It's a take on the original tutorial, though I believe that the tutorial you linked to explains it fairly well. Draw some large fat, black text and blur it heavily instead of doing the gradient layer from the tut at the start of this thread.

Press F1 in Paint.net to access the online help files. Look specifically for the Drawing tools & Fill tools under the Tools Window.

Does this occur with all fonts, or just one? -
Can't Open PDN File with PDN?
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Thunderjaw's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
The default file format is *.pdn - does your file have this extension? (If not, right click the file and rename to include the extension). If the file is truly corrupt, it's probably gone You could try uploading it to imageshack or photobucket & posting the link here - someone might be able to unscramble something for you but there are no guarantees -
Basic Layering Question
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Johann's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
You could have saved yourself some effort and created the overlays on a transparent layer. Ctrl + A followed by Delete key erases the contents of a layer, or add a new layer :AddNewLayer: which by default shows up blank/transparent. -
Look under the Adjustments menu. There you will find Brightness / Contrast (keyboard shortcut = Ctrl + Shift + C). If this does not do the job you want, try the two plugins I linked to in this thread:

You appear to have many obsolete copies of the plugins concerned. Some other plugins are no longer being supported or have been included in Paint.net itself. Check out the Plugin Index to find and download the latest versions of the three plugin packs (Ed Harvey, Curtis Black & Pyrochild). Following this, any plugins still causing errors should be deleted from the /Effects folder. Please note: all forum posts must be in English!

Hi Sturzaker123, welcome to the forum. I'm glad you've found the solution you wanted and learned a bit about using layers along the way! You'll note a little edit of mine in your first post above. In line with Rule #29 I've replaced your two large images with links. As the rule says, the maximum dimension allowed for posted images is 800 pixels.

A couple of questions..
Ego Eram Reputo replied to ForeverMars21's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
http://searchpaint.net/ + 'Sharp's Line Sig' This is how you could generate the plainer versions. Use layers. Here's a link to the online help files: http://www.getpaint....WithLayers.html - these should get you started with layers and layering. -
Stereogram / Autostereogram Tutorial
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Ego Eram Reputo's topic in Creations
Admission time: I cheat like hell Used MadJik's Random Shape Fill repeatedly to fill the canvas then Dents to distort it. Next I tile the result across the canvas in 128 pixel strips (Echo plugin makes this easy - it's one of the Stereogram Betas, but Panelling would also work) Finally I repeat dents. If the tiled strips don't line up nicely, run Echo again and fiddle with the horsiontal offset, then repeat dents again. -
Alpha 32bits Bitmap Support for Paint.NET
Ego Eram Reputo replied to FremyCompany's topic in FileType Plugins
If you ask nicely, Pyrochild might do it for you. He was good enough to recompile the original after all. You should not forget the power of politeness. PLEASE and THANK YOU go a long way around here. -
my paint.net doesn't install

Read post #2 above. Follow the link. Read that thread entirely. Now go back and re-read the bit that concerned the Windows Cleanup Utility (post #2). Do that. -
Stereogram / Autostereogram Tutorial
Ego Eram Reputo replied to Ego Eram Reputo's topic in Creations
I've played with this for an hour or so. My assumptions above were completely wrong What you need to do is backfill only the parts of background elements that actually show past the foreground elements. Check out this demo image: This image has a rectangle in the background, and an ellipse in the foreground, overlapping the rectangle's left edge. The correct backfilling technique is to backfill the rectangle first - but without the piece that the ellipse hides. So you need to remove the ellipse shape from the rectangle THEN backfill it. After the partial rectangle is done, then do the ellipse (foreground element) as normal. I hope this muddled explanation helps. I'm keen to see what you come up with! -
About layers management (layer folders)
Ego Eram Reputo replied to AljJazz's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
I see your problem. I can only suggest very considered labelling. Identical elements might be in layers from 1 to 12 for e.g. Put the left most element in layer 1 - call that layer 'first-left', the one to the right of that in layer two - call it 'second-left'. Etc..., It's not much help I'm afraid. If you really need this sort of complexity there is always that very expensive alternative -
Perhaps start with the simple technique I linked to. Once you have learned that, you can expand to try more complex overlays - like the one mountnman gave, or other cool bevelling and shading effects.
