Here is a checklist to go through if you are having trouble installing the plugin:

  • [*:2x229ggx]Did you unzip the file?
    [*:2x229ggx]Did you look for it in every sub-menu?
    [*:2x229ggx]Did you put it in Paint.NET/Effects?
    [*:2x229ggx]Is it a FileType? If so, did you put it in the FileTypes folder?
    [*:2x229ggx]Do you have Paint.NET installed in a different location?
    [*:2x229ggx]Are you running a beta version of Paint.NET? If so, are you sure the plugin is compatible?
    [*:2x229ggx]Was the plugin written for an old version of Paint.NET?

How do I update because when I try to open it, I get "The image type is not recognized, and cannot be opened." Help!

Do not try to open the plugin with Paint.NET. Read the first post.

ok help me please? I have read all of this forum and before, i was putting the plugins in the wrong place, but i found the real effects folder. I made sure that all of them were unblocked but they still dont show up on my paint.net. I have the latest version: 3.22. What am I doing wrong?

Did you unzip the file first?

Did you check the Effects > Object > Feather menu?

Also, in your file menu, is there a listing for plugin load failures?

...? where'd you get object from?

Feather is in the "Object" menu.

When you click File, do you see an item between Print and Exit saying "View Plugin Load Errors"?

Can you post a screenshot of your effects folder?

heh...uh, how do you do that?

Print screen, paste into MS Paint, save, upload to imageshack, post link.
