Get A Trip Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Besides the normal Paint.net tools is there something considered, like a standard upgrade package of plug-ins either paid or not? In other words, the next step to take in expanding Paint.net? Following those lines, is there a set of plug-ins considered for advanced users only? I realize the need to spend some quality time here, there is so much to learn. Any quick advice? Thanks Quote Get A Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottoman Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Downloading some of the pinned plugins / plugin packs is always a good starting point for beginners and advanced users, the best way to get to know paint.net is to have a play around for a while with no plugins installed and get to know the basics before diving into it head on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Though there are advanced effects I have not seen a pack of effects for advanced users only. Some developers have regrouped their effects in this section: Plugin packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 What do you mean by 'Advanced user'? That could mean a few different things in this context. Do you mean a user that that wants many controls on plugin GUI for 100% or near-100% control of its functionality?

mottoman Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 My take on advanced would be plugins such as Shapemaker, Gridwarp or even Shape 3D, could be daunting for anyone new to an image editing program to get the "instant" result a lot of folk seem to want (the old run before you can walk syndrome) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbieq25 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Advanced is subjective here. We all use PDN for different purposes. What some feel is difficult is really easy for others. It depends on what you want to do with it. PDN is so user-friendly that it does not discriminate or categorise plugins. The tutorials are categorised into beginners, advanced etc so that the user can build on the skills learnt or things like text effects & creations. Tutorials are a fabulous way of learning how plugins work & give you something nice at the end of the learning. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.
