Glad we could help.

Your link seems to go nowhere (even with AdblockPlus turned off). Are you trying to link to a google ad? If so, do a screenshot of the page. Crop to the ad and upload that.

Just remember that not all plugins go in the /Effects/ folder. Plugins that extend Paint.Net's ability to load/save certain types of files (we call them filetype plugins) go in the /Filetypes/ folder.

It is a terrible idea to post your email address like that - unless you want lots of spam sent to you. If users want to contact you privately they can use the PM (Private Mesage) icon to send you a message. No need to post your email address. I assume you want to make a picture of a computer table? Have you any sample images you can post to show us what sort of thing you're looking at creating?

Do a search for the 'pleasantville effect', that's what we call this effect around here. Alternately, there is this plugin: Extract Color which automates the effect.

CTRL + SHIFT + F will flatten your image. Use this key combination before you save. If you save as a PDN file, you will not be prompted to flatten as Paint.Net's own file format (*.pdn) preserves the layer structure. In summary: 1. Save your working copies of images as a *.pdn (no prompts). 2. When your image is finished, CTRL + SHIFT + F (flattens your image). 3. Save As...., *.jpg Leaves you with a layered version and a flattened version. You can revisit the *.pdn version if you need to make changes

Paint.Net draws text as a bitmap once you commit the text to the canvas. In basic terms this means that the text actually becomes a series of pixel groupings in the image, rather than a series of stored characters. Once the text is in this pixel form, it is not editable except as pixels. Thus, text is not editable using the text tool once you have commited the text to the layer. There is a workaround! @Simon Brown created this plugin Editable Text. It allows you to use a layer as a "text layer" for storing text info. This makes the text editable, but the layer must be preserved solely for this function. Blurring the layer , for example, will destroy the text info. If this plugin is not to your liking, the best method around is to store text in a word processor and copy & paste it into the text tool when you need it. This method works best if you devote a layer to the text. To edit the text, do so in your word processor, and copy it. Delete the old text from the layer then again paste the text when the text tool is active

Try printing the image. The only other viewing technique I can offer is to hold the image up to your nose & slowly withdraw it while deliberately leaving your eyes unfocussed.

This one Chart White Balance and exposure adjustment ? (hint: try the link to the posters website in the first post of that thread). In future, please ask questions about a particular plugin in the thread for that plugin.

What do you need a link for? This tutorial explains a technique, not a plugin (though there are fire plugins available).

Could it support Social Networking sites?

I'd have never considered using Shape3D like this. Thanks MadJik! Last image: Animal??

1. Write text to it's own layer ( :AddNewLayer: ). 2. Use rectangle selection tool to select each letter individually. 3. Use the move tool and the mouse/arrow keys to make fine adjustments to each characters position.

@BoltBait's Landscape plugin does quite a nice job for those who want a quick fix.

Image > Canvas Size Check the 'By absolute size' Uncheck the 'Maintain aspect ratio' Type in the width and height you desire. Now use 'Save As...,' to save a copy of the image (so you can reuse it as a prefabricated 16:9 template). If you have several sizes for your images, but wish to retain the same ratio: Open your 16:9 template and again use Image > Canvas Size. This time check the 'Maintain aspect ratio' and type in one of the different dimensions (the other will automatically be updated to maintain the same ratio).

Actually, multiples of two probably work best without making the image absolutely huge. From the DPI link: (my emphasis in bold)Remember it's nice & easy to divide by two, less easy to divide by 1/3's (as you did) .

Just ignore Pyrochild - he thinks socks are evil too!

The text tool uses the primary color to render the text. If you want multiple colors in text, you're probably best to write the text out in one color then recolor the letters you wish to have a different color. Note: once the text is written, it cannot be re-edited using the text tool. For this reason, follow Sarkut's advice and put your text on its own layer. Different fonts and sizes of text should each have their own layer. The theory is that if you need to make a change, you need only retype the text on one layer. As your text is probably fairly large, the paint bucket is another method that will allow you to recolor individual letters.

Not for selections as such, but Polygon Tool might make the point to point bit easier. Once you have defined the polygon (on it's own layer of course), use the selection tools to select inside/outside it. Does that help?

The tablet should work, but the pressure sensitivity feature(s) will not.

On an individual character basis, WhichSymbol+ is a character picker for Paint.Net (link in my sig). Due to the rendering differences, I cannot guarantee that WhichSymbol+ will exactly reproduce what the text tool does. If you have just a few characters, I recommend Sarkut's sugestion of using the ALT key and the four digit code. 1. Select the text tool + correct font & size, etc..., 2. Hold down the ALT key 3. Type in 0169 (for copyright symbol) 4. Release ALT. You can find the four digit code using Windows charmap.exe. Just for you: á ALT + 0225 é ALT + 0233 í ALT + 0237 ó ALT + 0243 ú ALT + 0250
