dhurlbut06 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 My students want to learn to use paint.net. I am new at it and do not have the time to load 30+computers with plugins. Anyway to search for tutorials without plug-ins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlychad Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Most of the advanced stuff in paint.net is not possible without plugins. But this tut here uses built in effects Sharp's glass ball tut Quote "Clearly it's a very serious and literal meaning.

Sarkut Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) I don't know of a way to efficiently use Search to find tutorials without plugins. Here are two more.

Wilson Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Lesson 1: How to download and install plugins WIN! lol. Agreed. The tutorials in the Newbie Playground don't use plugins, in reference to your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Are the computers on a network? You could get a few of the plugin packs (they have several grouped together) and it would make for a quick install if you get your IT people to help. Maybe buy them some muffins one morning before you ask them to do "one little favor".....make sure you get enough so you get one too. Muffins are important.

Possum Roadkill Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Are the computers on a network? You mean a domain? Yes, I guess. I was thinking that his IT staff could put the files on a shared drive making it easier to get to from each of the PCs. Could they write a batch file that would copy the files into the Effect folder for him? I'm not a network person, but on 30 computers, that would certainly be worth a box of muffins.

If they have their own servers it would be easy to put a folder with the effects on a shared drive so that they can just copy them to the right folder on the computer.

dhurlbut06 Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thank you all for your help. Our network/server/lab is a mess and the only way I can update is to do each computer. Plugins will come with a little IT help. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
