Thanks for the tutorial. Great results here. Some advice how to produce a different sky? Like Sunset over sea

In PDN4 the alignment of the checkerboard background has changed. In 3.5 it was top/left always. Typically if I am editing an icon then I set the zoom to 800%. In 3.5 this meant one pixel mapped to the size of one square in the checkerboard. Now there is no more a mapping and switching on the pixel grid makes it even more difficult to see what you are painting.

I would use the FillFromClipboard plugin. 1. Create your logo (don't forget to set a good resolution value i.e. 300dpi). 2. Copy the image to the clipboard 3. Create a new image with the same dpi setting (A4 300dpi would be 2480 x 3508 pixels). You may have to respect non printable areas on the paper, means you have to use a smaller image size. 4. Execute the plugin Now I would save the file as PDF using the ImPDF plugin. Print the PDF using a PDF viewer w/o scaling.

Some observations about animation of selection. 1. Open paint.net, Select all: Windows Task Manager shows 3% (the dancing ants) 2. Copy, paste: Windows Task Manager shows 22-25% 3. Switch off animations: Windows Task Manager shows 0-1% 4. Switch on animations again: Windows Task Manager shows 5-7% 5. Deselect: Windows Task Manager shows 0-1% Repeating step 2 to 5 results in the same values.

Undo of layer up does not set the selection to the layer moved back. It wrks right for move down, move top and move bottom.

MeasureSelection has been updated in October regarding PDN4. Is there still an issue?

That's the second word I added to my vocabularies today reading this forum: First mutilated and now vetted. ;-) There is always a risk if you are downloading software. But best is to get it from a trusted place.

I really like the effects during drag and drop of a layer in the layers window. Nice job :-) What I'm missing is scrolling of the window content if the mouse is on top or bottom of the window while dragging. Ctrl+Move Up/Down of a layer moves the layer to the top or the bottom but the view of the layers jumps to the oposite side (means the selected layer is not visible). After the move to top click one of the layers in the middle shows sometimes a background using the hover color.

>> A handy plugin, that could convert the colors in an image to 8-Bit. Just a remark: A plugin ist just able to quantize the colors to a given or an optimal set of colors. The bitmap will still be 32bit. There is no guaranty that saving this bitmap to an 8bit format will keep the colors generated by the plugin. Typically the 8bit filetype plugins do their own quantization. A good quantizer is a complex thing because it has to respect the sensitivity of the human eye. (It's a little bit more than just counting and mapping colors).

Beside of IrfanView there is also a batch utility pdn2png available on Windows (both are using the same library to load .pdns). The pdn format contains some serialized .net data structures. That's the main reason why there aren't a lot of converters.

I got it to run the other way round: - Install Paint.NET 4 - Start and finish Paint.NET - Rename Paint.NET folder to Paint.NET4 - Install Paint.NET 3.5.11 - Start and finish Paint.NET - Rename Paint.NET folder to Paint.NET3511 - Rename Paint.NET4 to Paint.NET So it seems that Paint.NET 4 removes some important files required by 3.5.11. People should know that there are potential risks doing this: - Both versions share the same registry key - Some data exchange format may be different (i.e. the clipboard format of selections) - The pdn file format changed a little bit (The serialized data part). Still compatible between PDN versions but I had to update the Irfanview plugin.

Just to say. This is not working for me on W7 SP1. Starting the 3.5.11 version results in the messagebox: Paint.NET has detected that some important installation files are missing. If you click the Repair button it will attempt to repairt his and then continue loading. The missing files are: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Pressing the Repair button leads to some activity (where I can see a Paint.NET 4.0 pre release in the header) but it does not work. The application terminates and the next start will present the same messagebox. I downloaded vcredis_x64.exe and installed it but w/o effect.

>(Yeah, I need a "Copy to clipboard" button in there ) This was just a proposal. As long as the diagnostics aren't larger than the screen... ;-) This is the version w/o the ATI card:

I tested this on my laptop after a friend told me about the issue. On my test laptop it works with the ati card but not with the build in intel graphics (the drivers are up to date).

Same for me ;-) Still the real layered PDF feature (which allows to switch on/off individual layers in a PDF viewer) is missing. Rick would say: No ETA ;-) Too many other things to finish...

The FileType plugins should really get their own subforum ;-)

The background of the nubs is not drawn well. See Video. This happens for all shape variants on Win7 Sp1.

'Color Matrix' plugin is able to convert the alpha channel to a gray bitmap ('Transparency to Gray' in drop down). Or the other way 'RGB to Transparency'.

'Color Matrix' Adjustment Plugin NOTE: paint.net >= 4.3.2 requires that all OptionBasedLibrary files must be placed in the Effects and the FileTypes folder. Please ignore the out of date instructions in the ReadMe.txt file. Summary Adjusts all individual pixels in the selected area of the active layer using a color transformation matrix. http://www.comsquare.ch/files/downloads/ColorMatrix.Effect/ColorMatrix.Effect.Dialog.jpg The plugin contains a set of predefined matrices to manipulate the individual RGBA channels, adapt transparency or to simulate the effect of different color blindness defects. Changing the matrix will show 'User defined' in the preset selector. Here the list of presets: Identity - Does nothing RGB (solid) - Sets the alpha channel to solid RGB (inverted) - Inverts the RGB channels and keeps alpha RGB to Gray - Converts RGB to gray and keeps alpha RGB to Gray (inverted) RGB to Transparency RGB to Transparency (inverted) RGB to BGR (or back) RGB to Sepia Red to Gray (solid) Red only (solid) Green to Gray (solid) Green only (solid) Blue to Gray (solid) Blue only (solid) Transparency to Gray (solid) Transparency to Gray (solid, inverted) Transparency only Cyan only (solid) Magenta only (solid) Yellow only (solid) Red-Blind (Protanopia) Red-Weak (Protanomaly) Green-Blind (Deuteranopia) Green-Weak (Deuteranomaly) Blue-Blind (Tritanopia) Blue-Weak (Tritanomaly) Monochromacy (Achromatopsia) Weak Monochromacy (Achromatomaly) How does it work? The following formula is applied to each pixel: (R,G,B,A,255) = (((R,G,B,A,255) / 255) * matrix) * 255 Result values <0 or >255 are clamped. The render code is simple because it just provides the image and the matrix to Windows GDI+.

paint.net 4.0 alpha build 5064 (and earlier ;-) Windows 7, SP1 My secondary screen is left to the primary (means it has negative coordinates). I'm getting a strange effect if I try to resize the window on the secondary screen (on primary it works as expected). Moving the cursor on top of the left, right or bottom border shows the NW to SE cursor (Top border is as expected). Grabbing any of these borders always changes the right and bottom size of the window. So grabbing the left border never changes the window on the left side. It works using the Windowmenu 'Move' command and the keyboard.

Sorry it was not the goal to waste your time and to raise expectations the tool can not fulfill now. My excuse: There was an appointment :-)

If someone likes to play with color harmonies then try the following. Copy ColorHarmonies files in the Effects folder and the OptionBasedLibrary in the Paint,NET folder. Feedback is welcome. I'm just not sure about the user interface. Use the radiobuttons to select the color model you like to use. The selected channel is always used by the slider. The other two channels are shown in the square or the wheel. The dropdown provides different types of harmonies used in color theory. The first color in the color list below the square or wheel is the reference color. All other colors are calculated from the reference. PS: Right click to the color square or wheel is your friend to modify the UI a bit. In this peculiarity we are talking about a tool. A different form of a color selector which allows you to choose a color sheme in different color models to use in your image. That's all. You can not do more than to choose a sheme (a nice looking combination of colors) and then maybe copy the color values to the hex field of the build-in Paint.NET color wheel. Based on this an effect may analyze the image to determine its basic color sheme and then harmonize the colors based on your selection.

Tizzle: Tell us more about the pixel size and resolution of your pdn file. If something is looking good on screen (96 dpi) it may show artifacts on a device using a hgher resolution like printers (300 or more dpi).

MeasureSelection plugin in the Tools menu.
