Thanks much. That's also the solution I thought about in the mean time, using LibreOffice instead since I don't have Excel.

Hello, "The required 'OptionBasedLibrary v0.7.9' files can be found in the Parallel Lines and Patterns plugin." → " → http://forums.comsquare.ch/viewforum.php?title=ParallelLines.Effect Dead link. Where can the "'Parallel Lines and Patterns' Render Effect Plugin" be found? Thank you.

Thanks. I don't have the skills to work on a plugin. I'll see if I can find a way to the x/y axis with labels.

Hello, I'd like to draw this kind of graph without bothering with the underlying math. Paint.net can draw straights lines and curves, but I was wondering if there's a way to first draw the x/y axis with labels somehow. Thank you.

Hello, I use Paint.net to scan books. Is there a shortcut to get to the "Scan using…" dialog? File Acquire From Scanner OK B&W Scan Thank you.

I had the same problem, and had to google for this. The color palette was gone, and no trace of it in the View menu. F8 does display it, although IMHO, it'd make sense for all the tools windows (Colors, Layers, etc.) to be listed in View, ready to be shown/hidden.

Thank you.

Hello, I'd like to use Paint.net to draw this type of graph: Is there an easier way than using the Line/Curve tool to try and draw a curve that would look like the above? Thank you.

Thanks. I installed both plug-ins since they are mentioned in the tutorial. Maybe I didn't run the installer correctly before: Now, I can see a bunch of Vandermotten.*.dll in "c:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects. For newbies like me wanting to do the same thing, you only need the Drop Shadow plug-in, and use the Lasso tool: For each picture you want to edit… Use the Lasso Select tool to select a wavy ripped edge on the picture. Delete the selection with DEL Perform the above steps for all the pictures Create a new picture, and copy/paste the pictures you just edited. Thank you all.

I don't have it. Do I need to perform extra steps after 0) stopping Paint.net, 1) unzipping the DLLs from the AA's Assistant zip files into Paint.NET's Effects sub-directory, 2) running the Drop Shadow installer, and 3) restarting P.net?

Thanks for the help. The video is for an older version, and the menus are a bit different. So I went throught the "Corrugated Cardboard" tutorial, but am stuck at Step 14: Even though I installed the two plug-ins (by copying the DLLs in "c:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\" and running the installer, respectively), there's no plug-in named "Drop Shadow" anywhere in the Effects menu: Has it been renamed recently? Thank you.

Hello I'm a Paint.Net newbie, and was wondering what is the simplest way to combine two articles with a torn paper effect as shown in the attachment. Thank you.

I'll piggy-back on this thread, since I'm stuck at drawing a shape. I added four screenshots, and would like to draw a shape on top of the screenshots. Problem is, for some reason, it's drawn on the Background layer. Even adding a new layer and drawing a shape doesn't solve it. I tried CTRL+D, nothing. Then went looking in the different menus for a clue, to no avail. What should I do after pasting multiple screenshots in a picture, before being able to add a shape? Thank you.

Thanks!

Hello I googled before asking, but still can't figure out how to resize a selection like I could in PaintShop. I attached an example. After choosing the "Rectangle Select" tool, I select part of a picture. Next, I'd like to be able to change its size, before hitting Image > Crop to selection. How can I do this? Thank you.
