Tony Mcilrath Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Is there a way to have this feature? Gimp, photoshop, illustrator, they have this function of making straight curves with the brush, pencil and eraser, this is useful when painting or erasing imperfections, adding details faster, that is, the function consists of making a point in a sector, keeping the shift key you click to another point, in another sector, and there the line is formed. I have heard that this has already been implemented, as I read in previous posts about this, the function is activated with the alt key, instead of the shift key. However, this does not work. Is there a plugin to get this function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi and welcome to the forum 16 hours ago, Tony Mcilrath said: keeping the shift key you click to another point, in another sector, and there the line is formed. This sound a bit like the pen tool in PS, which paint.net does not do Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Tony Mcilrath Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) It is exactly that function, and I have been investigating, and according to, it has already been implemented in Paint Net Edited December 10, 2021 by Tony Mcilrath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Mcilrath Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 And the closest thing I have found is the polygons / curves tool, but it must be opened in a separate window, and it is very annoying to be opening and closing windows 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hello again @Tony Mcilrath You may want to test drive this one. If polygons was close to what you want, this should be closer. You can work off the canvas or from the clipboard as a background. One of Paint's powerhouse plugins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Mcilrath Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 I've already tried that plugin, but the truth is, I need that function in the brush and eraser, since it is not comfortable to be opening tools / windows to paint or erase, I need a quick access such as the shift + click function, hopefully it can be implemented in a future, or that a plugin can be developed for it. I hope I can find an alternative where I can paint and erase at the same time that I can create lines by holding a specific key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
