How do access a plug-in?

[LovesToDance]

This is my first exposure to Paint.NET; I want to use it to apply text

labels to images. Toward this end, I am working with the scotch tape

tutorial, which creates and uses rectangles, to create movable boxes for my text.

I have downloaded and installed the Outline Object .dll, but I can't figure

out how to find or use it.

Thanks for your help.

Provided Outline Object is in your Effects folder (where it should be) then you can find it the next time you open Paint.NET in Effects -> Object -> Outline Object

Hello, LovesToDance.

You should read the below articles, the top a topic from the Plugins section of the Forum, the bottom a page by one of our resident moderators, BoltBait:

You should also use either one of the two search facilities available to you to see if your question has been answered before:

Built-in Forum Search

Paint.NET Search Engine

And the Rules for good measure:

I hope this all helps. Have a good holiday.

Thanks to you both for the helpful responses; they answered my question.
