MAW74656 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I used to use an image editor software (sorry, can't remember the name) that had an auto-straighted feature. Basically you could drag a line onto the image, and "draw" it along the correct angle of the image. Then the software would rotate the image just enough to make that line look completely horizontal. Is there any way to do this in Paint.Net? Maybe with an Add-in? I loved that feature, and I find the layers rotate dialog box to be annoying to use.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Have a look at this: Composition Tool. It mimics the functionality you requested. As a side note, you can rotate a layer more easily by using the Move Tool with the right mouse button. 1 ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAW74656 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well, the move right-click (which I didn't realize existed) seems to be good for me. I looked at the Comp tool, but I don't really understand its usage and it looks like overkill for what I'm looking to accomplish. Have a look at this: Composition Tool.

Ghostolini Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) I thought I was going to have to download another tool until I saw this. Easy as pie and so glad it's built in. Thanks! Edited December 15, 2021 by Ghostolini was going to upload photo but can't because it is too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 @Ghostolini, this thread was really old which is why it was locked. Besides, there is a better plugin here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/31736-level-horizon-plugin-with-tutorial-and-source-code-v13-2015-04-21/ Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
