I was able to get the download. I went to my account, selected 'my purchases' and found it there. MS acknowledged that I already purchased it, and I am back in business. Thanks to all for the input. I actually went back to the for sale section and still saw it was "not found." The MS apps were at the top of the list, but no paintdotnet. Someone indeed tinkered with the search tool. Perhaps it was just an error.

Thankj you Rick. I am signed in to Microsoft. I will try again. I love and use Paintdotnet daily. I have a new Dell Inspiron 2-in-1, and just love it! I love that car you are driving as well. My favorite color is deep blue, so when you grow tired of it, I will come to you and pick it up. Of course, just to take it off your hands . . . May you be blessed in ways you have yet to envision.

I too have been using PaintDotNet for years, probably about 15 years. I donated along the way and purchased from MS Store. While I know I have not paid what I would have to pay to the other guy, it is still irritating to spend further money. I am 78 years young and limited income makes me grumpy sometimes. Sorry . . . Just checked MS Store, searched for paintdotnet, paint, paint.net, the MS Store says no record found. I really am confused.

I have used PDN for 10+ years and recommended it to many others. I have even donated multiple times. So sorry to see it not working anymore. I can't find anyone else asking this question, I am unable to figure why I have no Effects anymore. I don't mind paying for it, but losing Effects is disastrous. Very sad, Pat

I had purchased PDN from MS Store and even with the link that was given, I still could not find a place for 'dll' files. Then, MS says there are NO REFUNDS. I did download the freebie program. I am sorry it was not feasible for you to ask for a $5.00 donation rather than give any money to MS. But, if I may, I would vote for you to request the donation and leave any store out of the mixture. I will give you $5 as well. I am off to get my dlls (I had issues with my Dell and they REPLACED my HD.) Ugh. May you be blessed in ways you have not yet imagined. Pat

Thanks so much for the info. I have spent too much time trying to get my 'dll' files into PDN. Best wishes to you and yours, Pat

I don't know what I am doing wrong. This got posted twice, the other posting has the picture. I tried to delete this one but have been unsuccessful. Sorry about that Chief .. .

I did this picture 2 weeks ago. I had PC problems and had to remove PDN along with other programs. I cannot find the effect that created this snow. Can someone point me towards the .dll or whatever I used? I really do miss my mind some days. Pat

I have a photo that is 163. mb and I need it to be smaller. How do I do that? The size, pixels, 5100 by 3000 needs to stay the same. Thanks, Pat

Thanks for all answers. I finally found it. Effects/stylize/radiusfillcorners What new version? I am off to find that. I did not get a notice of an upgrade but thank for the information. Pat

I have the 'radiusFillCorners.dll' in my effects folder. I have used it before. However, I cannot find it in 'effects.' Is there a search available for items in 'effects?' Where can I find the 'radiusFillCorners' in 'Effects?'

Thank you, it works now. Pat

I have some intricate mandalas that I carefully create transparencies in. Sometimes the transparency carries through to the layer and sometimes it gives me white areas where I had done the Magic Wand to create transparencies. I cannot determine why some work and some don't. I am using jpg but have been thinking that I might be better off with png. I need a link to read what png does better than jpg. (I know it is better, but why?) Pat

Thank you!! Thank you❣❣ I knew I would get a simple response and quickly. This is a great program and the users are terrific!!

Thank you!! Thank you❣❣ I knew I would get a simple response and quickly. This is a great program and the users are terrific!! I actually found it in "gradients" with the darker icon.

Just two days ago I created the background with Paint (love it) and have forgotten what I used to make it (I really miss my mind). I keep thinking it was: Effects, Color, Selective Enhancer. The problem is that what I used indicated left corner, right corner, bottom left corner, bottom right corner. Selective Enhancer does not have that. I love Paintdotnet - and the people who have helped me along the way. May you be blessed in ways you have not yet imagined. Pat

Geeze - Thank you all, I thought I was losing my mind. . . (I do miss my mind some days, but have not totally lost it yet.) I am 73 years young and still learning everyday. I did have an Icon, that I have used for several years, change itself to a different Icon. but that is another story. No other changes were noted at the time.

No, it is just not present. I did not find Plugin Errors in Settings - -

I have been using PDN for a LONG time, probably 10+ years. I have used the Fisheye many times. However, in using Windows 10, 64-byte, - Edition - Windows 10 Home - Version - 1703 - OS Build - 15063.296 I cannot find it in the program. Fisheye is in my dlls, I have re-downloaded it and reinstalled (as of 5/12/17) it to no avail. Anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong? I have searched my 'Effects' including all the subsets. Thank you for any help, Pat

Thank you so much. I had a significant medical event recently and my memory is not what it once was. I am not comfortable asking easy questions, but it is necessary. I appreciate your complete response. Not everyone is so understanding. Pat

My jpg icons are showing as attached rather than contents. My file associations are correct. I cannot remember how to fix this. Thank you, Pat

WOW! That all makes sense to me. I cannot wait to try it, but it has been a very long day and I have about used every brain node available. That is a good idea to duplicate what is there to get the idea complete before trying what I have in mind. First, copy then put my own spin in on it for my actual project. Thank you!

I want to create a design similar to the attached. I have tried to create the original square and duplicate to create a line. By the time I get a couple of the squares done, everything is moving out of alignment. Even if I get something aligned, at the cost of several hours, when I save it and reopen it, the lines are fuzzy or askew. I have been using the jpg format and possibly that is not a good choice. I have also been using a resolution of 3000, is that an appropriate size. Mostly the finished product is about 68cm (15") square. Is there a trick to doing this? Is there a dll to assist me? Where do I begin? I think I am not doing an efficient/effective job with my Paint program. Is there a place to learn basic edits from the beginning? I am probably doing more effort than necessary for simple issues. Thank you, you have always come through for me. I do appreciate this group. May you be blessed in ways you have not yet imagined. Pat

Thank you so much. I appreciate this information and guidance, it is just what I need. May you be blessed in ways you have not yet imagined. Pat
