Wibs Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi guys, first post. I am developing a dedicated 2D terrain editor for an online game. The editor does not need anywhere near the amount of functionality that Paint.NET has, it needs to simply: a) Have a fixed canvas of 256 x 256 pixels Greyscale only c) Output to bitmap (uncompressed bmp) only Is it simple to cut Paint.NET down to what I require, or would I be better off looking elsewhere? (but where?). I have been developing in Visual Basic 2005 Express. Are there any issues with this envirnoment and Paint.NET that I should be aware of? Many thanks Wibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I have been developing in Visual Basic 2005 Express. Are there any issues with this envirnoment and Paint.NET that I should be aware of? well that's an issue right there. paint.net is written almost entirely in c# (with bits of c++ for shell integration) It's possible, however, to compile it in c# express. Read the threads on how to workaround the initial errors you get when doing so. Transitioning from vb to c# is fairly easy (that's what I did...) especially if you are familiar with java.

Bob Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Paint.NET do not support greyscale. All images are saved as 24bit RGB(A). But you can maybe convert them later. Take a look at XnView. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Boy Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Aparrantly no greyscale. Maybe try photoshop? I use it and it has greyscale. Quote Sig made by me. Edit by Rick: Sig was too tall, so I have removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Monkey Boy, your sig is too tall (200px instead of 100).
