Anti-aliased lines

[Arc]

I was wondering if the Devleopers could make thinner lines for the anti-aliasing for rounded rectangles. y'know just one pixel thickness without it being transparent/faint. I've got the latest version of PDN so I was wondering if it could be included in the next upgrade.

It does seem that no matter where you start drawing, you can never get a 1 pixel width line.

I believe that Rick is using GDI+ for drawing shapes, so this is more a problem with Windows than Paint.NET. So, don't hold your breath waiting for a fix.

If you need finer lines, you may want to mix a rounded rectangle and a normal rectangle yourself.

Looks like this is not a problem when you use the 'Draw Filled Shape With Outline' option for the rounded rectangle tool.

Here is what I get with the following settings:

That is true but I'm a comicer. Iuse .Net for effects and speechbubbles. And I did attempt the methoed you just suggested,but whenever I add tails and use the paintbcket tool to fill it, it covers my entire background in white. If someone can tell me a way round this, please tell me.

Try turning down the tolerance on your bucket fill.

Add the rectangle on a second layer with the blending mode set to 'Multiply' or 'Darken'...should work like a charm.

Another option is to click the :AntiAliasingOn: to turn it into :AntiAliasingOff: . The corners will be jagged, though. To overcome that, increase the size of your image using the Nearest Neighbor option by about 200-400%, create your shape with a width 2-4x the width you want, then resize it back down using SuperSampling.
