I'm having a bizarre problem and I've narrowed it down to the following steps. I am using Opera 9.27 (the latest version, though the problem has manifested with all recent Opera browsers) and Paint.NET 3.30 (the latest version). Whenever I copy an image from Opera and paste it into Paint.NET, the image is wrapped to the left by about 3 pixels. This means that the left 3 pixel columns of the image get wrapped around to the right side. I have no idea why this is occuring only with this particular combination of browser and imaging program. Whenever I paste from the same browser to MSPaint or Photoshop, it's fine. Whenever I copy the same image from another browser (IE or FF) into Paint.NET, I get no problem either. Help us poor Opera users! :-)

I am very new to Paint.NET effects development and I have not been able to find answers to these 2 questions. If they have already been answered elsewhere, my apologies (please let me know where, though!): I am using CodeLab, if it matters. 1. I am trying to create an effect that does a custom palletization routine on the image. I basically need to: (a) go through the entire image and collect color frequencies, then ( create a color index, followed by © map each pixel in the image to one of those indexed colors. The Render function is called multiple times for different Rectangles. Right now, I'm basically throwing a small hack so that it ignores the call each time after the first one; I do all of these operations in the first call. This effectively takes away any multithreading in the code. The problem is that (a) and ( MUST be done before ©. (a) and © can both be multithreaded, but I have to ensure that there are 3 discrete passes. How do I accomplish this? Is there a PreRender() or PostRender() function? 2. Is there a way to batch an effect on multiple images? (I have a whole folder of images I would like palletized.) Thanks!
