bubyy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) This is apparently a 15x15 circle. This never happened before, the circles were perfectly symmetrical. I tried installing an older version of paint.net but it doesn't help. Edited October 19, 2019 by bubyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Trying to get a small symmetrical circle using entire pixels (antialiasing Disabled) is rather more difficult than it seems. This post by PDN Rick Brewster explains https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/111309-1-pixel-width-circle-drawing-enhancement-needed/?do=findComment&comment=530603 If you toggle the antialiasing ON (from to in the toolbar) you'll get a much nicer circle BUT the width won't strictly be one pixel.

As I already said, the circles were PERFECTLY FINE before, without anti-aliasing. This started happening a few days ago. I really need 1-pixel wide circles, not anti-aliased ones.

bubyy Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just don't understand why it happens on all versions now. I thought it's a bug in the newest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This issue has been around forever. Here is a thread from 2016 (mentioning a thread from 2010) about the issue: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/109003-can-the-circle-tool-be-improved/ Anyway... Here is one solution: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/113602-single-pixel-width-circle-solution/?tab=comments#comment-552407 Or, you could draw a circle and select the left half of the circle, copy it, paste it and use my plugin Effects > Flip Horizontal to mirror image the half, and position it for use.

bubyy Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks for all the answers guys. I hope the devs fix this issue. It's weird that it started happening to me only a few days ago, but to some people it started happening years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubyy Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Looks like all tools are messed up, the curves aren't symmetrical at all. It's happening in MS Paint too. I'm starting to believe this is caused by a Windows update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubyy Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Any updates on this? EDIT: When you draw a filled circle, it's perfect. Comparison (22x22 circle): Edited October 19, 2019 by bubyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychic_Digit Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) I think it has something to do with how the circle's outline is drawn. I used the circle tool and I changed the transparency of the outline, and as I changed it, some pixels that should not have been part of the outline became opaque.
