need info of what exactly is in basic paint net re effects.

[oma]

I see a lot of requests lately for tuts with out plugins.

the stripped down version if I check in F1 and look in effects is that the naked version? (with no added plugins).

It might be difficult to come up with anything that basic. I'll have to think on what is possible.

I've so many plugins and use them all the time, I can't recall what the basic is.

You can see yourself by looking in the help file.

Or, simply rename your "Effects" folder to "EffectsX" (or some such) and run Paint.NET to see for yourself.

Just remember to rename it back when you are done.

thanks BoltBait looked there under help. just wanted to verify that was the most recent listing. I know noise+ is part of the basic now but see the picture just lists noise.

Bad idea.

Plugins are what make Paint.NET truly great!

The tutorials are the main motivator in getting people to install plugins. We should keep it that way.

I agree ...... and off hand I can not think of one decent thing I can show them to do without a plugin.

So guess its not going to happen folks, take the plunge download a few plugins.

If you are timid try at least downloading either BoltBaits, Pyrochilds, or Madjiks pkgs. Simon wrote the brushes one and that seems real popular. There are so many good ones other than these but for a starter they should give you a broad idea of how powerful this program is.

As you get more familiar and comfortable add on as required.
