[Images Not Resizing Correctly]

Perfect! Thanks so much!

[Images Not Resizing Correctly]

Thanks! It only happens when I use Image|Resize!

How do I check the resampling option in the Resize dialog?

[Images Not Resizing Correctly]

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?

When using Layers > Rotate/Zoom for this only the "Angle:" setting should be anything other than zero.

Is that different, the way you've been doing it?

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

Rotating a selection, using the right mouse button and the

Move Selected Pixels tool , is the other built-in way to rotate something.

It has a toolbar option of choosing between "Smooth" or "Pixelated".

With either choice there is distortion when rotating, but the distortion

is of a distinctly different character depending on which option is chosen.

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.

Pixels are square. Images are rectangular. You can't rotate something without losing quality, unless it's by an increment of 90 degrees.

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

I think you're trying to use "Image Size" to increase the size of the canvas, which will increase the size of the image contained as well. Instead, use "Canvas Size", which will expand the borders of the image without stretching any pixels themselves.

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).

[Rotating Images Turn Blurry?!]

I understand the part about the excess getting cut off if the canvas isn't expanded first.

I don't get any shrinkage when rotating.

What's that about?

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?

Expand the canvas before rotating.

I do but for some reason I cant figure out how to expand the canvas and have excess be transparent?

Does Layers > Rotate/Zoom cause these kind of problems?

Ctrl + Shift + Z

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

[Rotating Images Turn Blurry?!]

You could always just go to effects-photo-sharpen.

And by the way, if you ever need to go into another program to edit your image, than just use That Other App

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!

Is there a reason why you don't rotate

them in Paint.NET instead of using GIMP?

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?

[Rotating Images Turn Blurry?!]

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
