maf Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi, I'm using Paint.NET 3.5.8 on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit. While editing small (16 x 16) images, I noticed that Paint.NET used a grid with a width of 2 pixels. Selection rectangles snap to this grid, as do paste operations. How can I specify the grid width or disable this snap to grid effect altogether? Thanks, maf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm pretty sure paint.net has no such grid. Try zooming in on your image.

maf Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ah, I'm sorry. Actually zooming in too much was my problem! At 1600% the white & grey checkerboard representing the transparent backgroung "color" is displayed at half the size of the actual pixels. So when I pasted something, I could place it freely on the image's grid. But it looked like it would snap on only to every second checkboard "pixel". Is there any way to specify how transparent areas of an image should be displayed? With these small icon I'm working on, the checkboard can get a little distracting. And now that I know that there's no adjustable grid and no "snap to grid" option, is there any plugin that adds these features to Paint.NET? I think these can be very helpful when placing and aligning image elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountnman Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 no, we have no snap to grid at all as far as removing the checkerboard, add a lyer of solid fill at the very base to use as a backdrop until you are thru working Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.
