Confused by resizing function
pdnnoob replied to Geoffat67's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Split the post off from this thread, as it sounds like a different question/problem -
Merging one layer with several others.
pdnnoob replied to Jetter's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Try this plugin It includes just the feature you are looking for. Make sure to carefully read through the instructions on how to use it. -
HSV Color Space Not Realistic
pdnnoob replied to denverpotsmoker's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
The reason it is done differently here than it is with paints is that the program is not simulating paints to begin with. It simulates light. That is why the primary colors are red, blue, and green rather than magenta, cyan, and yellow. This in mind, the system used in the program makes a whole lot more sense. -
Paint.net Memory Usage Question
pdnnoob replied to trinsic's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
I'm going to assume you meant 2.5 gig image file and not 25. I just opened a new image of the same dimensions and it is only taking up about 118MB of RAM. Unless you have a large number of layers in your image, there is something wonky going on. I recommend you consolidate a few layers -
How to crop to document edges in photo?
pdnnoob replied to ttOM123's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
You can use the Quadrilateral Reshape plugin to adjust the perspective. Then, just select with rectangular marquee and hit ctrl+shift+x to crop to the selection. -

How do i enlarge my whole image?
pdnnoob replied to Lubalt's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
When you say the "pixels are too small," are you saying this is pixel art you are trying to enlarge? If so, make sure you enlarge by a multiple of 200% (ex. 200%, 400%, 800%, etc.). Then, make sure, in the resizing window, you have the resampling type set to "nearest neighbor" If it's not pixel art, you may have to start over. Also, this confuses me: Can you please explain that? -
If you drew the image on a transparent layer, the object align plugin could help. If you drew it on the white background layer, you'll need to delete the white background before you use the above plugin Also, please change the title of this topic to something more specific. It makes it easier to help you and people with the same question will be able to find it more easily. (see forum rule #6) Thanks!

Rick seemed pretty sure about not bringing it back, but maybe he'll change his mind. In the meantime, this is an old thread and, as per rule #11, I will be closing this thread. Feel free to start a new one linking to this thread if you wish to continue the discussion. Thanks!

paint.net can do like that pic
pdnnoob replied to ngoctan2309's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
At the bottom right corner of your first post, you should see a button labelled "edit." Click on that, then once the editing window appears, there should be a button that says "Use full editor" at the bottom of the editing window. Click that to go to the full editor where you can change your topic title. -
Right here If you ever need to find a plugin, EER has put together a plugin index to make that easier for all of us

skins for rfactors dirt factor mod
pdnnoob replied to willyd5's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
The shininess is a lighting effect from the game itself. There's really nothing you can do from the Paint.net end. I don't know anything about the game, but if the skin creation is a built-in customization feature with a gui and everything, there might be an option to turn down how shiny or reflective the textures are. Otherwise, you may have to do some serious digging through code to find it EDIT: also, if you could change the thread title to something more specific (see forum rule 6), that would be great. Thanks! -
I think this is what is being referred to. However, it looks like it may be a proprietary file format, as they limit the resolution in the free texture viewer. Making a plugin for editing gtx textures that may result in copyright infringement(?)

Hue / Saturation Gradient
pdnnoob replied to TheMasterSwordMaster's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
If you duplicate the layer and change the hue of the new layer, you can use the gradient tool set to transparency mode to make it gradually change hue If that's not what you're after, maybe try a few different blend modes as well -
Templates for Paint.net?
pdnnoob replied to Markie Madden's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
There are not. However, making your own should be relatively simple. When you create a new image, set the image size to what you need, keeping dpi in mind (see this article for details) Then, use the rulers along the top and left edges and the info bar at the bottom to measure the placement of your outlines with the line tool. If you hold shift while creating your lines, you can constrain it to a horizontal or vertical angle. Before you get too busy making your own templates, there's one thing I'd like to point out. Unless you want everything on separate layers, a template is merely an image with lines drawn for ease of use. A quick google image search will probably get you what you're looking for in a moment. -
Unfortunately, no. Paint.net is a raster image editor, meaning once you've committed your lines to the image, they become pixels rather than mathematical equations as they would in a vector image. I recommend you try inkscape. I found a thread on an inkscape forum about this same topic here. You may need to figure out how to install extensions for inkscape, but from the looks of it, it does exactly what you're asking for.

There should be a crash log stored at %LOCALAPPDATA%\paint.net\CrashLogs To help with diagnosing the problem, please copy and paste its contents here. This sounds to me like you are either using an old version of paint.net (if so, I recommend upgrading to the latest version), you are using plugins from the Megalo Pack (an illegally compiled plugin pack with a virus included. See this thread for details), or a plugin that simply hasn't been updated in a while (in which case, I recommend you leave a note in the plugin's original thread)

Cant make a perfect square photo
pdnnoob replied to zjjpp's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
There are a few ways to crop a photo to a square. One, which it seems you have tried already, is to set the rectangle selection tool to "fixed ratio," and set the height and width to 1:1, then drag a square across the screen (be sure not to cross any edges) and hit ctrl+shift+x. If that doesn't work, you can also use the resize canvas option under the "image" menu and manually set the dimensions of the image. -
IMO, I think if the computer is running windows xp and cannot handle a newer operating system, it's time to replace the computer... Electronics do, in fact, age, growing faulty over time. When you use old hardware, understand you do so at your own risk. Also, Microsoft no longer supports older operating systems simply because, well...they're old. It is unreasonable to require Paint.net to support an OS not even supported by its creators. You can use software like wine to run paint.net on linux systems. If you need an older version of paint.net, you can find it through a simple google search (v3.5.11 is the latest version that can be run on Windows XP). I recommend filehippo.com Also, this thread is old and, as per the forum rules, should be allowed to rest in peace. If you wish to continue the discussion, feel free to create a new thread and link to this one. Thanks! <locked>

Changing color of a vertical line
pdnnoob replied to jbeteta's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
The gradient tool doesn't require you actually click on a pixel in the image, so you should be fine there. If you need to do any more detailed work, you can always zoom (ctrl+scroll wheel or ctrl++/ctrl+- or the slider in the bottom right corner) -
Discussion: Your Windows 10 upgrade plans?
pdnnoob replied to Rick Brewster's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
I'm considering it. The only thing holding me back is the question of whether or not it will involve a full system wipe, and I haven't gotten around to looking that up. -
Replacing color in a certain section
pdnnoob replied to cweis127's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
You have described the paint bucket tool almost perfectly. It finds everything like the pixel(s) you click on and replaces it with the primary color (secondary if you right click) Just make sure, since this is pixel art we're dealing with, you disable anti-alias so it doesn't mess up your lines. -
