baker9252 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I just started using this program and cannot move a picture around. When I open a picture it pops up right in the middle of the window. When I want to change anything a popup box covers it. I just want to move the picture to the upper left corner. How do I do it? Thanks.

BuzzKill Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 This is not possible. You cannot move the canvas area around within the application.

usedHONDA Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Put it in windowed mode and move the window to the upper-left corner.

baker9252 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 O.K. how do I put it in Windowed mode? I am use to Photoshop and all you do there is click on the picture, hold the mouse button and move it. I am not having trouble with running this program but the most simplest thing is so difficult. ^Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 In Paint.NET you can only work on one picture at a time. Your current picture uses up all of your workspace--it is centered and can not be moved. When you want to work on another picture, click on its thumbnail in the upper right corner of your Paint.NET window. Hope this helps.

baker9252 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 I guess I need to be more explicit since I am not getting an answer. I am using v3.0 Final Release build 3.0.2580.31 with Windows Vista. I cannot find any Maximize/?Down button. I can use the program but what a pain it is to have to move EVERY pop up window OFF the picture so I can observe what is happening. This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If you could move your picture to the upper left coin as in Photoshop then everything is out of the way. Thats all I want to be able to do. Granted with Aero Glass (Vista) I can see through the edges of the popups but I still have to move them OFF the picture. Every change you want to make, such as color, hue, etc. pops up a windows right over your picture which you have to move to see whats happening. I use this mostly for pictures of Roman and Greek coins and if I am fixing say 30 coins and I have to move the pop up box 10 times that is 300 times I have to move the blasted box. It is not unusual for me to do more, it depends on how many I get clean. I buy uncleaned coins and then spend weeks restoring them. I need the pictures to get some of them attributed.

Rick Brewster Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Then Paint.NET just might not be well suited to what you're doing.

apinakapina Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Could there be an option, that enables user to select whether to use Paint.NET in MDI mode, or in single canvas mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 No. That wouldn't solve a thing anyway. Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzKill Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 On more than one occasion the subject has been raised concerning the locations of the pop-up dialogs. In that query, somebody asked if Paint.NET could remember where the dialogs were last positioned and open in that location everytime. Im not sure if Rick considered it or even backlogged it.

baker9252 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well I think this is a terrible shortcoming of this program. I like everything else but what a pain to have to keep moving the pop ups out of the way. I am not a programmer but the line that posts the picture in the center of the windows surely can easily be changed to put it in the upper left corner. That way it doesn't matter where the pop ups appear, as long as they stay out of the upper left corner, of course. Cmon somebody get to work on this, PLEASE! Thank you. :wink: :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
