I am using version 3.36 of paint.net and vista 32 bit. I tried downloading the zip and extracting it, but vista wont allow me. I visited the link you gave, but I am a bit afraid whether or not I should activate the administrator account. Anyone else has done it? Is it safe? I am just a normal computer user and dont know much about the intricacies. Kindly suggest. Thanks for the plugins, I hope I can install and use those someday. Edited Later: Ok I have copy pasted the dlls without creating the administrator account. I can see them in the paint.net software. Is there a thread where I can know how I can use them, especially the feather plugin? Thanks again.

My suggestions would be to go here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26967 This sounds like what you need. you mean I should use the line tool to select the area instead of the magic wand? thanks for your help.

Thanks for the tutorial. I was trying to make the following pic black and white other than the flower pointed by the arrow. But everytime I try to select the areas with the magic wand, either areas from adjacent flower also gets selected or not all the area of the flower (of interest) is selected. Please tell me how do I select only the flower I want. I guess the broad question is how do I select an object which I want to keep colored, from a pool of same color objects (which I want to make black and white). Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the tutorial This is what I came up with, I dont have the plugins yet, just trying to do the basic stuff.
