papercut Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thank you for all your help guys! My next question is about jp2 files. At the moment I am converting jp2 files into tiffs with IfranView, but it is a slow work around (and the files get pretty heavy that way). If I could open the jp2 files directly in Paint.NET it would be fabulous. I know there are some plugins from long ago (couldn't get them to work), are there any newer ones that work with the newest edition?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 JPEG 2000 isn't as popular as was hoped when it was developed. It seems to be mostly used for archiving images - with very little support elsewhere. I'm interested as to why are you using this format?

papercut Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Actually I am editing archived documents, images from books on Archive.org. if you click around on the menus you can find the raw and the jp2 compressed images (rahter large files). There are also other formats but those are lower rez and not as useful. I supposed that jp2 is not supported via plugin on PdN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Only via the JPEG 2000 plugin - which I assume you've tried (by your comment that you couldn't get it to work).

papercut Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 I see that it needs the VC8 Runtime. Is that this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=3387 Would it be better to use a newer runtime? Please advise.

null54 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 That should be the correct runtime for a 32-bit OS, if you are on a 64-bit copy of Windows download the x64 runtime instead. The Visual C++ runtimes are unique to each compiler version, so newer runtimes would not work.

papercut Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Can I have 2005 and 2010 on the same computer? Yes, 64 bit Windows 7. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papercut Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Ok, uninstalled 2010, installed 2005 64 bit, and it works with at least 1 jp2 (when I get on my other machine later I can do more tests) Works with this one: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7962461/SmithMap_LeadCR5GSaDL7t2480x1925.jp2 but not this one (and its brothers): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7962461/catalogno12400sear_orig_1106.jp2 Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papercut Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hmm, same problem on my graphics computer. Some open but not all (the ones I need do not open ). I think that I read there in fact two kinds of jp2. Maybe that has something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 This sounds like a question for the plugin's author. It has nothing to do with Paint.NET itself.

papercut Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Oh very nice insight! Is the writer of the plugin still around to amend it to a better/newer decoder? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 @Gumboot is gone, gone, gone Last here on May 18 2006 so there is little chance of an update unless someone else is willing to have a crack at it.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 @null54 to the rescue! Have a look at this brand new plugin for the Jpeg 2000 filetype: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/25170-jpeg-2000-filetype/page__pid__376606#entry376606 Note: you should probably remove the old plugin to avoid the two fighing over which will save or load the file Quote 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...
