The file contains a pdn3 image PDN3ºÿ<pdnImage width="6000" height="4000" layers="21" savedWithVersion="5.2.8451.6614"><custom> but somehow it's corrupt. The error message tells that the deserialization detects the chunk 0 twice. As I remember, Rick posted a while ago a way to extract as much as possible from a corrupt file via cmdline. So you may try this. Hope someone else could find the link to Rick's post.

This file contains just zero bytes. So there is no chance to restore the image.

Sorry it looks like that the file is corrupted. If the file is family-friendly you may attach it so that we can take a look. @midora In the 'not identify' case dump the first and last bytes of the file.

Thanks to Rick, who added a patch. So it's working again in paint.net 5 until an updated version of the plugin will be released.

There is also the What's It?' Tools Effect Plugin to verify and rename according to the results.

Thanks but as I said before I'm asking for a built-in solution which you can handle like drawing a circle.

For sure, that's one of the ways to create a stadium shape, the disadvantage of this way is that you always have to calculate and adapt the corner size.

Quiet often I'm using a stadium shape (there are several other names like pill shape) Maybe an additional option could be added to the ellipse shape to add a length for the parallel lines between the half-circles (or also half-ellipses). Or a complete separate shape which only allows half-circles and stretches the parallel lines. For me this shape is so basic that I would prefer not to use a plugin.

The support of animated GIFs is not part of the paint.net installation. You have to install a filetype plugin. 'GIF Animations and Images' FileType Plugin (.GIF, .AGIF)

I'm thinking about whether or not it makes sense to write a rendering benchmark plugin for paint.net. Or should this be a built-in feature, because you can provide the result together with the I know there are a lot of things which could influence the result, but to get an idea about the performance between different systems would be interesting (at least for me 😉 The history panel could also show the execution time of a command.

Tochpad works ok for me too. Touch gesture does nothing (even if the mouse pointer is on the image). Does Surface use the center of the touch gesture as center of the zoom? That would be the idea.. I'm still using the old gesture handler to support this (which delivers the zoom point) in my apps. This touch gesture works in Firefox well. Windows11.

Would it be possible to support the zoom touch gesture? Two finger drag of the canvas works (but maybe just because the system simulates slider changes).

👍

'Call Out' would be great for the layer thumb. Or a general zoom panel which could magnify layer thumb or image at the mouse position. I hope that Rick can spend some time in the future to extend the pdn file format to allow layer groups and other layer specific infos (comments, channels, ... 😉

Please post a screen shot of the paint.net 'posure' plugin you are talking about (if you are talking about something related to paint.net). Typically you can do this kind of manipulation only by knowing specific information of the camera hardware and using raw data files from the camera. Adobe LightRoom can do this.

If you have to handle 1000 images then paint.net is not the right tool to do it. The picture you posted can be tiled during save to individual images using the ZIP Archive FileType Plugin.

You may use 'ZIP Archive' FileType Plugin to create tiles from the image and save them in a zip file. You can unzip and import them via Layer/Import From File

It's somewhere in the development area but it has to be included in paint.net.

Yeah, this is a long term issue for some of us. Some time ago I provided code how this could be solved. Works fine in my own applications.

Or maybe something related to "Apply Embedded Color Profile"?

Please update to 4.3.12 or try the 5.0 beta, there is no support for older version on this forum. Anyway, settings for dithering level and transparency threshold are only used if you like to save your image with 256 colors (8-bit) or less. They map the 32-bit color values used in paint.net to a reduced set of colors. If you switch bit depth to 8-bit or less then these settings will be enabled.

Your are developing a plugin and not an application. Derive you effect plugin from PaintDotNet.Effects.Effect and override CreateConfigDialog. There you should return a new dialog derived from EffectConfigDialog. This is the dialog you can populate with your own controls.

I would use the 'What's It?' Tools Effect Plugin to check if you saved the file in format different by mistake but used the file extension .pdn.

To export layers use the 'ZIP Archive' FileType Plugin
