BoltBait's Plugin Pack for Paint.NET v4.0

So, if you want those effects, go download MadJik's plugin pack. Halo.dll - Replaced with Outline.dll in this package.Īlso, user MadJik has written updated (better) versions of my Grid Maker plugin and my Wet Floor plugin. GaussianBlurChannel.dll - Replaced with GaussianBlurPlus.dll in this package. InkSketch.dll - Now included in Paint.NET FlipPlugin.dll (The one done by Illnab1024 and me) - Replaced with flip.dll in this package.I personally do like both 3.5.11 and 4.0 a lot, and I hope to love 4.0 more and more, since so much great and hard work is being put into it.Now, if you still have the following effect dll's installed, you can delete them: Despite the new things to get used to, there are some things you will quickly wonder how you ever lived without them, which makes 4.0 a definite 'Update' especially when going back into 3.5.11. There are some missing tabs from the Menu Bar, like “Windows” and 'Utilities”, but over in the far right top corner of Paint.NET 4.0 are icons, they are now the way to toggle windows on/off, and then there is a Settings icon which is Utilities replacement. If the UI (User Interface) scares you, don't worry, that much is actually still pretty much the same, so learning your way around 4.0 is mostly just adjusting to the new visuals (the way things look). Over all, if you're used to right clicking with expectations of something happening, you'll find yourself needing to learn new habits in 4.0. 4.0 is continually being updated, and with every update comes improvements.With one of the newer beta builds the Line/Curve tool now works similar to 3.5.11, but it has the updates and benefits that have been introduced in 4.0.(it copies all visible layers as a single flattened image, which is great for those who don't want to have to 'flatten image' then 'copy', then 'undo' to get their layers back.) There is a special thing called 'Copy Merged' found under the 'View' tab in the menu bar.Layers move up and down by dragging them.(Finally, we can make pre-set hearts, stars, and lightning shapes!) (including the Gradient Tool, which is cool to play around with.) However, 4.0 has plenty to love to help with coming to enjoy it. And something which isn't too big, but I do miss it, is the 'Reset Window Locations' ability. Now, I realize adjusting to the new Paint.NET is hard, as I've struggled with it too, mostly because some of my fave plugins didn't work and some still don't, also 3.5.11 works better with my PC since I don't have the best PC specs and I have very small amounts of ram, and another things is I remember being able to do more right-clicking functions in 3.5.11, such as better working functions with the Colors Window and nice functions with Gradients in Transparency Mode. I don't know which version of 4.0 you have tried, but you can find the latest versions here : OR here : And the most recent 4.0 beta release put the line/curve tool back as a tool, instead of having it combined with the shapes, which is good if that's a tool you use a lot.Keep your eyes open for plugin updates, many 2014 updates work for 4.0, also, plugins are now being updated specifically for 4.0.Explore the incompatible plugin list :.This old thread explains how : Ī few tips for 4.0, if you haven't already, To help you with adjusting to 4.0 though, you can have both versions installed at the same time. Hello, as of now you can still download version 3.5.11 on Paint.NET's home page here :
