zanshinart Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi all, have just downloaded paint.net - no problem on many basic functions but cannot get the line tool to give me a visible line. I have changed primary and secondary colors to make sure regardless of whether I'm left or right clicking the line will stand out against white background. I have increased width to six pixels to make sure it will be nice and thick and visible. I do get the four little box thingies when I release the cursor, and I can then go in and manipulate them. But no matter what I try I cannot SEE a line. Suggestions? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi Zanshinart. 1. Do you have an active selection? Press CTRL + D to make sure that you do not. 2. Are you working on the correct layer? Both of these things will give the problem you have described. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Q: Are you drawing with a color that is the same as the background? If not, a screenshot of Paint.NET's interface might help us....

zanshinart Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well, I haven't changed a thing and today it is working fine (sigh) but that's good.....life's mysteries. Thank you both for suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
