PascalD 0 Report post Posted February 11 Is there a way to open an image in paint.net from a memory stream (or something similar) and when saved, send it back as a memory stream? I want to use paint.net as an external editor for images in a winforms c# application but the images are stored in a database and instead of saving them to disk and pick them up when changed I would like to find a more elegant way to edit them. And of course because paint.net is a very good editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Brewster 1,159 Report post Posted February 11 Also, you can't bundle Paint.NET with your software. If the user already has it installed, great, go ahead and link up to it -- but you cannot bundle. But yeah you'll only be able to save to a temporary file on disk and have Paint.NET open that. There's no IPC or other mechanism for getting an image into Paint.NET. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
