Is this a paint.net file?

I noticed a file in my 'C' folder tonight. It's a text document written on a Notepad. It's called "balance" and the whole page is full of this:

( R Offset32 Gain 0 Black131 White199 Avg165

G Offset32 Gain 0 Black131 White239 Avg185

B Offset32 Gain 0 Black131 White198 Avg164 )

I checked the properties and there's absolutely no information about it's origin. I'm also not able to delete it. (Possibly because I don't have administrator privileges)

I'm assuming it has to do with PDN, but I'm curious why it's in my C folder. All the other PDN stuff is in my program files. Is it a PDN file that I simply downloaded in the wrong place? If so, can it be safely moved, and to where? Thanks in advance.

Paint.NET didn't make that file ... so unless it's a *.pdn file, it isn't from Paint.NET. There's a chance a plugin made it, but there's no code in Paint.NET itself that outputs that kind of stuff.

It may have come from another graphics program. It definitely has something to do with graphics, so what other graphic programs do you have? Also, what is its extension (ex: .dll, .txt, .pdn, etc.)

Thanks for asking. I only have MS paint and PDN. This is a text file. Since it's on a notepad, I probably used notepad to open it already and forgot. The only thing that's in there is about 30 paragraphs of the same stuff.

It's dated the 27th of last month. I looked up the first picture I made with paint.net and it was also Nov 27th. It must be associated with PDN in some way. Maybe like Rick said, it's from a plugin, or maybe it's from my scanner. I also installed my scanner on the same day.

The C folder seems like a strange place to drop something like that though. It's really no big deal. I'll just leave it alone for now.

I suspect the scanner.
