edge1 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 OK. I'm new to the forums. I have a question about color replacement in paint.net. Here is what I want to do. Imagine I have a picture where the top half is 100% red. The bottom half of my picture is 100% green. Dividing the red and green is a 100% beige line approximately 10 pixels thick. I want to replace the red with 100% blue. So, I select my blue. I select the paint can. I have a 0% tolerance setting. However, when I click on the red, the paint fill bleeds into the beige in gradients. I don't want this. This was working perfectly fine in prior versions of paint.net. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a major bug? Quote Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge1 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Nevermind. I had to turn off anti-aliasing. This is a bad default setting. Sorry. Quote Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 If you're using 4.0 then try turning off antialiasing in the toolbar. That will ensure a hard edge. How is that a bad default setting? It works quite well in the common case.

zeromus Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 There's two common cases, people editing photographs and people editing pixel-perfect art. The antialiased defaults make sense for the former people and none at all for the latter. Photoshop remembers these settings between sessions, I believe. I won't say which should be paint.net's default, but it should at least be remembering, because otherwise, for some people, it's a mistake 100% of the time.

BoltBait Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 zeromus, you can change the tool defaults by clicking on Settings (gear in upper right corner) then the "Tools" tab.

zeromus Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Oh sweet, thanks! I never understood this tab before.. it is kind of intimidating and ugly.. but now that I understand it, it's amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Just remember that antialiasing is not a per-tool setting. Changing its default will affect all tools.
