I've been trying to edit a flower but it keeps crashing because of this!

I'd imagine you made colour lines, made them glow then used polar reflection(I think)? Cool pic!

Press ctrl+D. I had this same problem or otherwise, go to the 'select' tool (top left) and click somewhere else.

When I use the Custom Brushes plugin Paint.net closes down and then I get this message in pdncrash.txt: Application version: Paint.NET v3.36 (Final Release build 3.36.3158.38068) Time of crash: 29/08/2008 09:52 p.m. Application uptime: 00:00:19.0312500 OS Version: 5.1.2600.131072 Service Pack 2 Workstation x86 .NET version: CLR 2.0.50727.1433 x86, FX 2.0 2.0SP1 Processor: 1x "AMD Athlon XP 2200+" @ ~1800MHz (SSE) Physical memory: 1279 MB UI DPI: 96.00 dpi (1.00x scale) Tablet PC: no Updates: true, 26/08/2008 Locale: pdnr.c: en-US, hklm: en-US, hkcu: n/a, cc: en-GB, cuic: en-US Features log: UpdatesState(StartupState), SetTool(PaintDotNet.Tools.PaintBrushTool), HM(NullHistoryMemento), UpdatesState(ReadyToCheckState), ShowDialog(PaintDotNet.ToolsForm), ShowDialog(PaintDotNet.ColorsForm), ShowDialog(PaintDotNet.HistoryForm), ShowDialog(PaintDotNet.LayerForm), ShowDialog(PaintDotNet.MainForm), PopulateFonts(), Menu.Effects, Effect(CustomBrushes.EffectPlugin), ShowDialog(CustomBrushes.CBDraw) Loaded assemblies: mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 @ C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorlib.dll PaintDotNet, Version=3.36.3158.38068, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.exe System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 @ C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Windows.Forms\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.Windows.Forms.dll System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 @ C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.dll System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a @ C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Drawing\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\System.Drawing.dll PaintDotNet.Core, Version=3.36.3158.38063, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.Core.dll PaintDotNet.Base, Version=3.36.3158.38062, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.Base.dll PaintDotNet.SystemLayer, Version=3.36.3158.38062, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.SystemLayer.dll PaintDotNet.Resources, Version=3.36.3158.38063, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.Resources.dll PaintDotNet.Data, Version=3.36.3158.38064, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.Data.dll PaintDotNet.Effects, Version=3.36.3158.38065, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.Effects.dll AlphaMask, Version=1.2.2859.32277, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\AlphaMask.dll CustomBrushes, Version=5.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\CustomBrushes.dll EdHarvey.Edfects.Common, Version=3.36.3160.38013, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\EdHarvey.Edfects.Common.dll EdHarvey.Effects, Version=3.36.3160.38013, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\EdHarvey.Effects.dll Shape3D, Version=1.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\Shape3D.dll System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a @ C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Design\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\System.Design.dll System.Xml, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 @ C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Xml\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.Xml.dll ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, Version=0.85.4.369, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1b03e6acf1164f73 @ C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll Exception details: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory.

Don't worry. I'm new here, and have only 1 account! And Simon, do you think you could make the window itself smaller and then add the HUE slider to the 'more' part instead of the circle?

Yeah. I believe users adjust alpha a lot, doesn't make sense to always have to click on "more" each time... And have 2 sliders for alpha makes the job even faster. Like I said before, I'm all for more space for the canvas. But usabilities is important. Can it be possible to put HUE, saturation, alpha and brightness sliders in the main part instead of the circle?

Attempt 3: Thanks That would be good. Thanks for your contribution to this thread! I'll put it up.

I'm not saying it would be stuck like that! You could take the whole thing appart if you wanted, and have them anywhere you want. All I want is for the Colour box to be smaller, so I can fit it in the screen with enough space to draw. Also, the Windows don't fit together very closely so it would be nice to have them closer so you can fit them better.

Finished!

Nice pic, but still too big. Can you swap the HUE (the outer circle) with the HUE bar(the colour one with 'H' next to it)? It would be nice to be able to make a colour without having to press 'More'. Thanks

You would be able to detach them from the sidebar, if it is inconvenient. Or, if all else fails, you could add a minimise button on each window. for example, like google sketch-up:

It wouldn't make it any smaller though. that's the whole point. Still, good idea.

but for my idea (in spoiler below) we'd have to fill up the space with more tools. Any more ideas for tools? In photoshop there is a 'magic brush' where you draw over the colours/area you want and it covers similar colours closeby with the magic wan effect. The options tool I put there would change the settings of shapes etc. for example: Circle settings: 'filled shape, not filled' etc. Magic Wand: threshold amount :LassoTool: Lasso: polygon or drawn lasso (polygon = lasso with straight lines)

would this do?

Is it possible to put all of the windows in a sidebar? Pics coming soon.

1.Sidebar: Would be a detachable Bar at the side with all of the windows. If you don't like it, then you can easily detach it. http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z146/Pixering/drawings/sidebar4.jpg 2.Why does the colour wheel need RGB and HSV? It takes up an awful lot of space. Can some be put sideways or fit something in under the primary and secondary colours?(fixed in #1) :Colors: 3.This would not be a problem if the sidebar (#1) was completed: Also, can you make it possible to scroll my image even when I can see the whole thing so I can move the picture to somewhere out of the way of the Windows(colours, layers etc.)? They get in the way and I can't see part of my picture without changing the zoom. :ZoomToWindow: :Right: Thanks to Simon Brown for http://i34.tinypic.com/2h396p4.png LCB
