Rob_Iverson Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I figure lots of folks have requested these before but I'd throw my 2 cents in (since Rick is keeping track of the most-requested features). When I'm editing photos with the gimp, I use selection feathering all the time, mostly to cut out backgrounds nicer and make vignette-type looks. I'd LOVE it if paint.net had this feature... Another thing that might be nice is layer masks - I find myself making lots of copies of layers so I don't lose information while I'm erasing pieces. Of course editing a layer mask is non-destructive and would also be GREAT! Hey - thanks a lot for paint.net - I use it constantly and, despite my requests/complaints, I prefer paint.net to anything else out there...

If so, then you won't see soft selections in Paint.NET just yet, that's where Simon's response is still valid.----- Another thing that might be nice is layer masks - I find myself making lots of copies of layers so I don't lose information while I'm erasing pieces.Native layer masks are something to come during the v4.xx series:The Roadmap[/url]":2t83965q]Paint.NET v4.0[...] Features planned for version 4.0 include an improved install and update experience' date=' lower memory requirements, increased performance, a totally revamped "brush" system, [u']layer masks[/u], and adjustment layers. [Emphasis added.] In the meantime, there is always the Alpha Mask plugin (plugin | tutorial) for your delight.
