[[Suggestion] Delete "the white outline" of canvas from Dark mode]

It looks like you drew a stroke on your image. In general, this visually distorts the image.

 

And it is not necessary to remove the stroke completely, just make it less visible, as is done in the Light modes.

[[Suggestion] Delete "the white outline" of canvas from Dark mode]

Yes, it is too bright, especially in dark images.

In other modes, it almost does not distract.

 

 

[[Suggestion] Delete "the white outline" of canvas from Dark mode]

This "white outline" makes it very difficult to work with the image.

The canvas should be without an outline.

 

[Problem. Shape type: Rounded rectangle]

1 hour ago, IHaveNoName said:

My question would be: when are you actually going to require a critically perfect one pixel width rounded corner square/rectangle?

I just wanted to create a button like that

and I chose a simple way to do it, as it seemed to me - Shape type: Rounded rectangle

but the final result was not as I expected, and I decided to report it.

Similar problem with - Shape type: Ellipse

but most likely it should be so

[Problem. Shape type: Rounded rectangle]

I wanted to create Rounded rectangle.

But the result surprised me. It looks very bad. Angles are curves.

 

tested on Paint.Net 4.1.2, 4.1.6, and alpha 4.1.7

 

Select Shapes tool and set:

- Shape type: Rounded rectangle

- Brush width: 1

- Corner size: 1

- Antialiasing Disabled

 

and create a shape on canvas

Problem - only two corners will be rounded

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

 

then increase Corner Size - 2
Problem - corners look very bad, they are all different

Spoiler

 

 

 

and increase Corner size a little more - 6
look at this

Spoiler

 

 

 

However, the corners are displayed correctly if Antialiasing is Enabled.

look at gif

Spoiler

 

 

but even when using Antialiasing, the corners are not 100% identical, you can make sure to compare the color at the smoothing points

compare points at top and bottom

[Dark Theme]

I did not find a discussion about Dark Theme, so i create this topic.

 

Dark Theme has a problem.

Elements - icons, text, windows forms - too light, too contrasting

 

- first example

if make a dark theme a little lighter, then the elements will be less distracting

compare these images

pdn_dark_theme_original.png

and

pdn_dark_theme_lighter.png

on the ..lighter.png screenshot, the interface is perceived a little better

 

- second example

it would be better if all the window elements were dark

loot these image

dark_theme_pdn.png

even in this example it is necessary that the text and icons are less light.

 

I understand that pdn uses windows forms.
I hope in the future there will be a solution for this.

and I know about the contrast theme in windows, but this does not solve the problem with light elements.

[Bug. Text Tool shifts the working area, if use overscrooll. 4.0.21]

1. File - New

2. use Ctrl+B to turn on overscroll

3. Select 'Text Tool' and click on working area

4. then just hold down the any key - type text

 

- the working area will move to the left (problem one)

 

- then repeat step 3 and 4 - the work area starts jumping at the time of typing (problem two)

for example, in Photoshop the working area in this case does not shift.

@PaintNetRus If you disable antialiasing when creating the gradient you should not have the problem when using the Magic Wand at 0 % Tolerance.

I think, what you call "outside" is in fact still inside the gradient.

[Trouble. Dithering\Antialiasing in Gradient tool.]

A real use case

 

- Make Rectangle

- Use Gradient Tool

- Enable Transparency Mode for Gradient Tool (set Black and White colors)

- Make the rectangle part transparent

then

- Use Magic Wand tool

- Set Tolerance 0% for Magic Wand tool

- And select an area outside the Rectangle

so

You see that the part of the rectangle is not completely transparent

Expected Result, that the transparent part will be completely transparent, and with Magic Wand Tool you can select the actual visible part of the rectangle.

 

 

[Trouble. Dithering\Antialiasing in Gradient tool.]

Gradients created in other Graphic editors, for comparison with paint.net

You see, GIMP and Photoshop use anti-aliasing, they do not have this problem

Spoiler

 

 

 

[Trouble. Dithering\Antialiasing in Gradient tool.]

- Create new layer

- Use Gradient tool

- Enable Antialiasing for Gradient tool

- Make a Gradient in center of layer

then

- Use Magic Wand tool

- Set Tolerance 0% for Magic Wand tool

- And select an area outside the gradient

so

You see that Dithering for Gradient tool in Paint.net is broken

Anti-aliasing is applied to the entire layer, this is incorrect

Anti-aliasing should only be applied in the gradient area, and should not extend beyond its area

Hello.
I found a small problem when working with canvas.

So:
1. Select tool "Rectangle Select"
2. Select an area.
3. Remove the selected area (use "Del" or "Ctrl+X")

4. Select tool "Rectangle Select"
5. Select another area.
6. Select tool "Move Selected Pixels" and move the selection.

6.1 Obtain an image of:

Image >><<
7. Select tool "Color Picker"
8. View color in transparent areas.

9. In the first area of ​​the color will be - 000000 ("Opacity - Alpha" = 0)
    In the second area of ​​the color will be - FFFFFF ("Opacity - Alpha" = 0)

 

___

 

And yet, for example, I want to create a gradient "from transparent to white":

It turns out that "Opacity - Alpha" in the red zone is not "0". There is noise with "Opacity - Alpha" = 1.

And in the blue zone "Opacity - Alpha" in the red zone is not "255". There is noise with "Opacity - Alpha" = 254.

The resulting image:

Image >>>>><<<<<

 

How do I make the gradient (with the option "Antialiasing Enable") to red and blue zone was not noise (with different "Opacity - Alpha")?

[paint.net 4.0.2 is now available]

BoltBait says properly.

I think dithering should be used only between pointers tool "Gradient":

 

And actually dithering is applied everywhere( in paint.net 4.0.* ):

[paint.net 4.0.2 is now available]

Hello.

I noticed one feature when using the tool "Gradient" with the option "Antialiasing enabled".

1. So, draw a gradient

2. Then select the "Magic Wand" and change the "Tolerance" to 0%

3. and make a selection in the area of ​​"1" or "2".

4. After step "3", we see that in the area of ​​"1" and "2" is the noise.

 

As I understand it, in the area of ​​"1" and "2" noise should not be. Maybe it's a bug?

In "GIMP" and "Photoshop" when using the tool "Gradient"(with the option "Antialiasing enabled") this noise does not appear.

 

By the way, when using the option "Transparency Mode" noise also remains in the clear zone.

[paint.net 4.0 beta build 5278]

Hello!

In the previous topic, I asked the question

2.When working with the tool "Move Selected Pixels", while moving the selected area(dotted line) disappears. Is it a bug?

In version 3.5.11, the dotted line does not disappear during the move.

http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28562-paintnet-40-beta-build-5268/#entry410444

 

I understood why the dotted line disappears while moving the selected area.

I moved the selected area using the keyboard keys "Up, Down, Left, Right".

So, when you move the selected area using the keyboard keys "Up, Down, Left, Right" dotted line disappears for half a second!

 

Сheck for yourself:

 paint.net 4.0 beta build 5278

 1. Select the tool "Rectangle Select"

 2. Select any area on canvas

 3. Select the tool "Move Selected Pixels"

 4. Move the selected area using the keyboard keys "Up / Down / Left / Right"

 5. Thereafter, the dotted line disappears for half a second - I think it's a bug

 

 Paint.NET 3.5.11 (Final Release build 4977.23448)

 1. Select the tool "Rectangle Select"

 2. Select any area on canvas

 3. Select the tool "Move Selected Pixels"

 4. Move the selected area using the keyboard keys "Up / Down / Left / Right"

 5. Thereafter, the dotted line disappears, but instantly appears. - So it must be in the version "paint.net 4.0 beta build 5278"

 

...

 

So, if in the version "4.0" to move the selected area to several pixels, holding a key is pressed, the dotted line disappears during movement. Also note that, if you move a selected area with the mouse, the dotted line is drawn instantly.

[paint.net 4.0 beta build 5268]

Hello! I have several questions.

 

1. When working with the tool "Paintbrush" or "Pencil", if the draw line quickly, the line turns smooth.

 

if slowly draw a diagonal line, the line turns rough.

Is it a bug?

 

2.When working with the tool "Move Selected Pixels", while moving the selected area(dotted line) disappears. Is it a bug?

In version 3.5.11, the dotted line does not disappear during the move.

 

3. Selection border is not displayed correctly, with the large scale.

[Wish. Indentation from the edge at a scale.]

Are you talking about this request?

 

Scrolling past the edge of the canvas when zoomed in...

Yes, I meant this feature.

Thanks for the link on the topic.

[Wish. Indentation from the edge at a scale.]

Hello, you can make the indentation on the border of the image for large scale?

Hi!
I found the way that leads to a crash.
Procedure:
1. Select an arbitrary area of ​​the canvas (eg tool "Rectangle select").
2. Select the tool "Move Selected Pixels".
3. Next, press the following key combinations:
4. Ctrl+Down (or Up, Left, Right).
5. Ctrl+D (or V, X, possibly also other combinations result in a crash).
An important point: if you press the second key combination is after displayed the dotted line, the program will not crash.

 

Pressing keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+Down (or Up, Left, Right), long processed!

 

P.S. This machine translation, I hope the meaning is clear.

[The BUG in the properties of the saved images.]

Thank you!

This is what we need.

[The BUG in the properties of the saved images.]

The fact is that instead of question marks "Paint.Net ?????? 3.5.5" should be the word "Paint.Net версия 3.5.5" (версия - version). We have to do a Russian translation as well as in English translation - "Paint.Net v3.5.5", instead of "версия" to "v". How do you think?

The problem occurs on multiple computers.
