[HOW TO INSTALL PLUGINS/General Plugin Troubleshooting Thread]

Hi - I can't get mine to work yet but I know how to move files.

after you find your three plugins and make sure you have extracted (unzipped) them.

first - find where you have paint.net open it going to computer first - then open it

and look for the EFFECTS folder - that is where you will be going to go to plugin.

There are different ways to do this - but I'm giving the simple (I think) way.

Go to your first Plug-in highlight it with a left click and then double right click - you

should have a list of things you can do to the file. I would click on COPY then you

can go back to Paint.net EFFECTS - open EFFECTS folder and double right click on a clear

area of your screen - you see one of the options is PASTE - click on that and you should

see your first Plug-in. Do it for the other two. Look where they were originally (on your desktop?) and look for small text files on desktop that might be for them - if you find any,

copy them and paste them in effects and read each one before you use your plug-ins - mine

did not have one. Then open Paint.net and open - check each plugin before you delete the files sitting on your desktop - but if they show up and work on paint.net you don't need the original ones anymore - I hope it works.

[HOW TO INSTALL PLUGINS/General Plugin Troubleshooting Thread]

I found the post where it showed how the "color replacer" worked and I thought I understood it, but I didn't. I just moved up from Windows 98 and CorelDraw 4 - in that paint program it was very easy to "select" the color I wanted to change and then to "select" the color I wanted it to be. I am an amateur - I realize that.

Then I found the post that the "color replacer" program should be put into the Effects folder - then I could access it (above paragraph was after I found where to move it to)

can I access the color dropper someway to choose the color I want to change?

What do I access to choose the color I want to change?

I tried using the dropper to access color 1 and then put a secondary color in

it didn't work.

I tried selecting the area I wanted to change then did color 1 and color 2 and then opened "Color replacer" but I can't seem to get it to work.

If anyone wants to contact me offline - fine with me.
