Betty 2

hope this what you want Betty 2

folder is there, and I haven't moved paint.net, wouldn't know how to Betty 2

Thanks Peter, I have done that and the good news is I now have the plugin showing in effects as follows:- Draw with custom brushes mini..... Editable text.... printer+.... That other app... Upload to...... the bad news is that while the last 4 seem to be fine, the top one doesn't work and just brings up an error message:- File: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\CustomBrushesMini.dll Effect Name: CustomBrushesMini.CustomBrushesMiniEffect Full error message: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\FileTypes'. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String path, String userPathOriginal, String searchPattern, Boolean includeFiles, Boolean includeDirs, SearchOption searchOption) at System.IO.DirectoryInfo.GetFiles(String searchPattern, SearchOption searchOption) at System.IO.DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() at CustomBrushesMini.Helpers.PdnFileTypeManager.Catalogue() in G:\Documents\WorkingCode\upload\CustomBrushes\Helpers\PdnFileTypes.cs:line 24 at CustomBrushesMini.BrushList..ctor() in G:\Documents\WorkingCode\upload\CustomBrushes\Controls\BrushList.cs:line 47 at CustomBrushesMini.CBDraw.InitializeComponent() in G:\Documents\WorkingCode\upload\CustomBrushes\CBDraw.Designer.cs:line 46 at CustomBrushesMini.CBDraw..ctor() in G:\Documents\WorkingCode\upload\CustomBrushes\CBDraw.cs:line 57 at CustomBrushesMini.CustomBrushesMiniEffect.CreateConfigDialog() in G:\Documents\WorkingCode\upload\CustomBrushes\EffectBinding\EffectPlugin.cs:line 50 at PaintDotNet.Menus.EffectMenuBase.RunEffectImpl(Type effectType) in D:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\PaintDotNet\Menus\EffectMenuBase.cs:line 707 makes no sense to me ,but I'm sure it will to most of you.

I hope this is the right folder. I have actually found another Alpha-Mask in plugins which does install o.k. I deleted it to do this and I really would like to be able to install this bundle if possible. Betty 2

Done all that but still no joy Betty 2

Sorry folks but I am really out of my depth with this, just can't figure out how to do the cut and paste advised here. I am thinking about completely uninstalling PDN then reinstalling now that I understand how to install the plugins ( I think), thanks to the help I've had here. Does this sound like a good move or will it not solve anything Betty2

Don't know if you can make this readable, if not I,ll try again Betty 2

I know I'm thick but I don't know how to do that Betty2

I have looked in all the sub-menus, in fact I've looked in everything in the menu but no alpha-mask Betty2

Sorry to be a pest but I'm still having some problems. I realise now that I was confusing 'extract' with 'open'. I have now successfully installed Threshold into effects, I also downloaded the pack which contains Alpha- Mask, and evrything in it is listed in the effects file in Computer but is not showing up in paint.net effects, I don't have effects/tools only tools listed at left side of screen but it is not in there. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks for the help already given Betty2

I have read that topic but I am not getting the option to save to desktop, usually when I download and choose 'SAVE' another box comes up allowing me to choose where to save but this is not happening and it just goes into downloads then I get this c:\Users\Betty\AppData\Local\Temp1_EdHarvey-Effects-200808 26.zip\EdHarvey.Edfects.Common.dll:Decode error The File doesn't contain icons All of that might as well be in a foreign language for all the sense it makes to me. By the way just in case I get this sorted where do I find the Alpha-Mask Tool? Sorry this is so long but at a few weeks from 70 it takes a bit longer to grasp new things these days. Betty2

I have printed the tutorial 'Fixing An Old Photo' and am trying to download the plugins Threshold and Alpha-mask tool needed for it but when I try to open the files I get a message saying files do not contain icons. My os is vista and browser is firefox. Can anyone help please Betty2
