This is the kind of thing i want to do with Paint.net but i can't. It seems simple enough but Paint.net can't do it ????? I JUST WANT TO PUT PRE MADE ANIMATED GIFS ONTO A BACKGROUND.

If your going to make a car, that car should be able to go anywhere you want to go. It would be stupid to make a car that only goes to the other end of town. If your going to make a program to edit, it should be able to edit anywhere. I sorry, I have a thing, about things that are stupid, I think Paint.net should be so much more. And remember, things don't get better unless someone bitches about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i know, we all like better things, thats human nature.

This is exactly the kind of stuff, i was talking, or bitching about in my post. You have to keep looking around for add ons to make this Paint.net program work right. I use to have an old car that was the same way, you would have to go from junk yard to junk yard to find parts for it. I finally woke up, and said this is stupid, and went out and bought a new car. Paint.net is ok if you like tweeking, but believe time would be better spent with a new program, just for the fact you get more done. I realize Paint.net is a free program, but i just want it to be better, because it has so much potential, to be something you got to have or a standard program for new computers. But the way, do you know how to put a animated gif into a background image, cause that would be, so cool????????

I tried the Gimp program before i tried Paint.net I found that program to be so complicated that i had to hit my head with a rock, and that didn't help ! Gimp is a well rounded program that covers just about every thing you need, but you have to be an Einstein to use it. I may sound like a complainer but the fact is if a program is so complicated, it takes all the fun out of what you are trying to do and it sucks your creative impluse because your spend more time tweeking the program than useing it. I personally got better things to do than waste my time tweeking. For example, if i took a car on vacation and i had to tweek or fix the car 10 times a day, that would ruin the whole vacation. The idea of a vacation is to enjoy it and relax without to much thinking. In the same way i bought my computer to use it, not to be a computer programmer of sort with every substandard program that comes a long. Computers have been around a long time and it's about time to set a new standard for programs, like they should work the first time without a bunch of plug-loading and tweeking and move this,lift that, bend over,type stuff, and they should be easy to understand for any level computer user, and they should come with a index of every possible (How do i ______) question. Is that asking to much, I think not, unless your someone who likes living in computer caveman days, like the old dot printers. Now that i look back at those days, I think what a joke. This message is mostly for Paint.net makers, get your bloody potato together or you will fade into the past like the old dot printer.

I have downloaded the animated gif plug in. I exstracted files. I put the effects files into effects folder in Paint.net I put the file type files into the file type folder in Paint.net. I then open Paint.net and import a .gif file, but i still see only one layer. won't work ! I open panit.net and try to rename the .gif file to .agif threw save as file. then i try to import it but it still won't work ! What is the right way to rename the .gif file-----step by step.? How do you scroll or see each layer in paint.net cause i can only see one layer.? and as for the paste function, I right click a .jpeg image and hit copy then i go to Paint.net and try to paste it, but the paste function is greyed out, so it will not let me paste. I have to open a file under file or import from layers. I have some computer experience, but this program does not not seem to be very user friendly, im a person that uses a computer to do stuff, not to play around with how it works. A car is best used when your diving it, not when your fixing it. If i had to fix my car all the time, what would be the point in having it. Thats why i think this Paint.net needs a lot more improvement, its not user friendly. or to sum it all up in one statement, (IT SUCKS)

I tried to import a moving gif file and tried to insert it on to a background image, but it won't play when i open it with explorer. Paint.net/ will onlyl save it as a still image. or am i doing something wrong. also the clipboard function or paste function in paint.net won't work, whats with that?????????????????
