    Memory issues with Flatten and Undo

    in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

    Posted

    If you don't actually need to preserve the session History, this might reduce memory usage build-up.

    Go to the PDN file and change it to read-only. (To protect it from accidentally being lost.)

    Open the file, make changes, save as PNG with new name. Close file.

    Again, open the original PDN file, change, save as differently arranged renamed PNG. Close file.

    Repeat as needed.

    You never have to unflatten, shouldn't be any memory use build-up,

    and is probably as fast as waiting for the unflatten to run.

    If you need to save some of the changes as you go,

    save as PDN with rename, flatten, save as PNG and close, re-open latest PDN file.

    Select tool - fixed size -snap to image boundaries?

    Because your screenshot is cropped and doesn't show the full Paint.NET UI., I can't tell whether this applies.

    If the file that you are pasting into is at a zoom level where not all of the canvas is visible,

    then the pasted selection may not position itself in the way it did in earlier versions.

    Press Ctrl + B before pasting, to avoid this.

    Could be it's a bug.

    3.57 beta - Text tool crash - Solved

    in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

    Posted · Edited by Sarkut

    Using the text tool, with a letter in place, switching to a different font with tool still active.

    Crash.

    Program allowed changes in other open file in image list to be saved.

    Was not able to save file that produced the crash.

    Menu items disappeared from view.

    No response to keyboard shortcuts for saving.

    This problem is similar to the one posted by Barbara Mc:

    Procedure followed:

    sfc / scannow from elevated command prompt, run three times in succession.

    From elevated command prompt:

    chkdsk /f /r

    From elevated command prompt:

    sfc /scannow

    CBS.log showed that verdana.ttf and verdanab.ttf could not be repaired.

    Windows would not allow them to be deleted.

    Booted into Linux Mint Live CD to delete all Verdana font files.

    From Windows downloaded and replaced Verdana font.

    Problem seems to be fixed.

    How do you do it so that it only fills the circle and not the whole canvas like in the tut images?

    5. Add a new layer, name it Base Bevel. You should still have the circle selected.

    7...Fill your selection with black

    ===================================================

    When he says "Set the Transparency to about 20% Transparent", does he mean "Adjustments >>> Transparency"?

    Yes.

    Most likely it means move the slider left to -20.
