As stated, this is something have never seen before. I was wondering if there was anything this would do other than just magnifying a very small area. I can't see any purpose in that tool, and I wasn't sure if all it was, was a magnifier.

Alt+A did something I have never seen before, See the attached screenshot, I have a magnifying box appear, what is the purposeof that? I figured out what you mean though, I have to press Alt then A to bring up the adjustments menu then cycle through the functions with repeated keystrokes. To get to Curves I need to press C 5 times.

I know nothing about the programming, but it seems counterintuitive to take away shortcuts, especially ones that have been around for as long as those have. I could understand if they had been swapped so those combinations of buttons would now do something else, but they don't. How many shortcuts are there? I can't see that many in the menus. Using combinations of CTRL, Shift, Alt and A-Z there has to be more than a few hundred available.

This makes me sad and has slowed me down so much. So often I would use the shortcuts for Black & White, Brightness/Contrast, Curves and Hue/Saturation. Would it not have been possible to create more shortcut keys?

Nice to make your acquaintance. Thank you Maximilian for the information I may have to post links to all my pieces as I tend to make them big. and Red ochre thanks for all the fantastic plugins. The rainbow spiral was created with Sumo paint, which I bought just for the amazing gradient functions although I haven't used it much for over a year now. I did read the rules about this being a paint.net forum so let me be clear I do use Pshop and Sumo but only for a small number of functions that Paint.net does not do for me quite as good. I would go so far as saying 97% of all my time is spent using Paint.net. When I feel proud of a piece I shall of course share them here.

No idea how to get a picture in here so here's a link. http://s172.photobucket.com/user/Dazzahh/media/Paint%20Dot%20Net/14%20WMM%20FLT%20B16_zpssgrook9e.png.html

I am loving what people are doing with this add-on. Hi By the way. I haven't been very active in the forums here so far. I can't even see how to post an image in the thread just yet... Let me see what all these buttons do.

Hi Drydareelin First let me make it obvious that I am not trying to sound snarky or anything OK? I have found it very easy to upset people in print which is one of the reasons I avoid forums of any sort. I did not know that the main programme is only one person, when I stumbled across this programme maybe 4 years ago it sounded to me like it was devloped by a community (so I guess that part just refers to the plugins am I right?) I am not very tech savvy and despite being using this programme for more than a couple years now I am definitely not getting the full potential out of it because of that. I really hope this problem gets put right as soon as possible, like I said this really slows me down and frustrates me.

This is my very first comment on the paint forum. I just came here for the purpose of seeing if this has driven the users crazy like I thought it would but this is the only discussion I can find about it and no one seems to have noticed it, I am surprised. How infuriating is this problem? VERY. I have been using this for more than a couple years so my fingers fly over the keys to carry out the functions and this is slowing me down considerably. It isn't just the shortcut keys I find that switching from one layer to another used be be a single click of the mouse and now that has to be more of a "cliiiick" C'mon now!! So many times I have thought that I switched layers but I was a little too fast with my click only to have to undo what I did and then go "cliiiiick" and do it over again! Please can someone who knows about the program get onto this and update it or backdate it or whatever.
