VenomKisses Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I've read through most of the Drop-Shadow stuff and been to the links to download it. But I'm having a problem trying to open it. I need this drop-shadow for a project I'm working on; but I can't seem to open it or use it. I've downloaded it and when I try to open it with WinZip it tells me there is an error that it's not named properly or something insane like that. Anyone else having this problem or have a solution for me? Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 View the thread in the board called "Plugins" and check the thread called "How to: Install Plugins." You should also post questions in the "General Questions & Discussion" thread. :wink: Quote ---- Gallery | Sig Tutorial | deviantART | Sig Videos | PhotoBucket ----D E S T I N Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenomKisses Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thank you for moving it; I'm sorry I posted it in the wrong area. -- I read over the help you offered; and saved it in the right area; but I still can't seem to find where it is now. I don't know where to look for this Drop-Shadow effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wither Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 It's in the Effects folder (Local Disk > Program Files > Paint.NET > Effects) and everything, right? Good! Now just look for it in your Effects menu in Paint.NET ... Quote YouTube | Myspace | deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenomKisses Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 I guess it doesn't work for me yet; because I've looked at your screen shot then Paint.Net and it's not there. I'll try it again. Thank you. After I place it in the effect folder, do I have to do anything else with it; or will it do it on it's own?? I have considered downloading the new WinZip, but it's not my computer and for the amount of times I use WinZip I don't think it would really matter. But thank you.

Wither Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 If Paint.NET was open when you dragged the .dll to Effects then you'll have to close Paint.NET and restart it for it to show up. Quote YouTube | Myspace | deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenomKisses Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 I had it opened when I moved the file there, I just downloaded the file to the effect folder. But I have opened and closed it twice now and still no Shadow-drop. -- I've deleted it and saved it to my desk top then moved it to the effect folder. Paint.net was closed as I did this. I opened it again and looked; still no Shadow-drop. lol I must have some great luck. Or I'm doing something wrong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 What version of Paint.NET do you have? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it.

A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
