ThatOneUnoriginal Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Hello, recently I noticed that a tool that I semi-commonly use called RemoveBG stopped working on the latest edition of paint.net, spitting out an error after attempting to put in the remove.bg API key. Seeing as older versions of the software are not officially provided, downgrading appears to be out of the question (unless I choose to download from a possibly less-then-reputable source.) With this in mind, are there any alternatives to the aforementioned plugin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDP Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I see that WhelanB has not visited the Forum for three years and, anyway, his Plugin was for PDN 4 Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have an extension that does the work in paint.net instead of constantly needing the flip flop between my browser and paint.net Edited March 1 by ThatOneUnoriginal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I understand the reasons for not providing older versions of the software, damn is this a time where I really wish one was available.

You can work around this probably if you right click paint.net -> Run as Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
