No, I guess I don't. I'll check the plug-ins forum of this board. Thanks....... **ETA - just back from downloading the plug-in -- wow, that's quite a collection of effects!! that's going to be fun trying them out!!

Sorry for taking so long to get back to this thread. I didn't know subscriptions defaulted to "off" and you know how they say time flies -- well it does whether you're having fun or not. So I understand the effect I'm looking for is part of pyrochild's plug-in now, and I should look here for that, correct? Rick -- the menu item you asked me to check doesn't exist on my version of Paint.net and I looked all over for it. Maybe it's a menu item that only shows up if you've got extra plugins beyond what comes standard? Tim

There used to be a really useful effect in paint.net that I just discovered is missing in v3.35, and that's the outline effect. I don't remember exactly what it was called, but it was a single effect in its own menu tree branch and it drew a nice outline around an object of specified color, width, and softness. Why isn't it in there any more, and is it available as a plug-in? I couldn't find anything about it searching the forum, but then do you realize how many hits "outline" as a keyword gets? Thanks. And BTW, I just love the program. It's my chief graphics program. Tim
