CDriv3 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Here is a screenshot of a section of a perfectly horizontal gradient of pixels made from R255G255B255 to R127G127B127 with full opacity and no background. It shouldn't matter, but AA is turned off in this example, and this issue persists with or without AA on. If you colour pick each pixel, you'll notice there is photograph-like noise: Some pixels have a variation of 1 or two units in any of the RGB channels. This noise seems like an intentional feature, perhaps, in order to make the gradient work better with photos, maybe. However, for making exact and geometric images, it is a very annoying and frustrating "feature" that as far as I know cannot be disabled. If you know how to disable it, please assist me. I attempted to look for this issue's solution, and I found one thread where somebody proposed the issue was that AA was on (which is unfortunately incorrect as mentioned before) and it was left unresolved.

Solution BoltBait Posted July 23, 2022 Solution Share Posted July 23, 2022 Make sure when saving to .png that you choose "auto" on the configuration screen to maintain exact colors. 2 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDriv3 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 This is while working as a .pdn, this particular screenshot was a capture of that with Win+shift+s, but the colour variation can be observed while working with the .pdn file and using the colour picker.

Rick Brewster Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The dithering is applied when antialiasing is enabled in the toolbar. @BoltBait's answer is correct. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
