Perfect! Thanks so much!

Thanks! It only happens when I use Image|Resize! How do I check the resampling option in the Resize dialog?

I have been using Paint.NET on my laptop for a really long time, I just installed it on my desktop and I am having a problem with resizing. Every image I resize the image gets all distorted around the edges, high and low resolution images! If I take the same image and resize it on my laptop it looks prefect but if I resize it on my desktop it looks horrible! For example on the image I attached, I shrunk the Pinterest P I use often, as you can see one looks great (laptop version), the other not so much (desktop)! Any ideas as to what would cause this?

Never mind sorry. How do I delete a post?

Hmmm, interesting! I just changed it and now my images aren't shrinking so that's great- thank you so much!

I will try this. I tried using effects-photo-sharpen and it did make the image not as blurry but the image was still not the same as the original.

So basically, no matter what, the image will not remain the same once rotated?

No, this part is fine. I expand the canvas size and not the image but the expansion is whatever background color I am using and I just want it to always be transparent. Instead I have to expand the canvas size and then erase the excess (the part I just expanded).

I don't know, weird! I always have to enlarge my images so that when I rotate them they will be the size I want because it makes them smaller, it has been a pain! I wonder if I don't have something set up right? Maybe I should remove it and re-install?

Yes, I have tried it a dozen times and no matter what I do it does this.

I havn't tried effects-photo-sharpen, I'll try that but what about the image shrinking and if there is no extra room around the image it cuts off the excess when rotated? I'll use that download, thanks, that will make it easier if I still have to use other software to rotate!

I don't rotate them in Paint.net because they look horrible after I rotate them- they shrink to a smaller size and become blurry! I want to rotate them in Paint.net, that's what i am trying to find out, if there is a better way, a plug-in, something that makes it easier to where I don't have to fix the image after I rotate it like in Photoshop and Gimp I rotate it and it stays the same size and does not become blurry, I want to do that here?

Hi, Every time I rotate images or text they shrink and become blurry! I have been using Gimp to rotate them and then re-opening in paint.net and it's getting a bit annoying if anyone could tell me how to fix this I would really appreciate it! Thanks, Emily
