Paint.NET Software Review

2009-11-20T01:02:00.000-08:00

Paint.NET is popular free image editing software that commonly used by people around the world.

If all you want is a quick image retouch, Photoshop is overkill. Paint.NET, on the other hand, is an open-source freeware editor with all the essentials, including tools to crop, rotate, and resize images, adjust colors, and create collages. It supports common image formats--JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and others--but not high-resolution RAW files. There are enough basic and intermediate effects and features to keep image-tweakers happy, including a red-eye removal tool that has seen dramatic improvements. Unlike most free image editors, Paint.NET supports layers, history, and has an actions manager. The pleasing interface boasts semitransparent windows for ease of use.

Version 3.5 addresses many performance quibbles and offers some interface tweaks for the Aero-theme users, but fans of the "dancing ants" may not like the gray-overlay changes made to the selection tools. The useful tools under Effects on the menu bar have seen many additions since version 3, including surface blurs, dents, and crystalize.

The new version automatically downloads and installs the program's prerequisites, including the latest Microsoft .Net version and Windows Installer. It will update in the background now, too, so you can continue to use the program until it's ready to restart. Longtime users should notice that the program starts up about 20 percent faster, according to the publisher. Regardless of minor problems, Paint.NET is far more advanced than Microsoft Paint, and given its free price, it's a must-have for anyone needing to fix images. Seth Rosenblatt(cnet.com)

Remember your screen resolution because you need to create a picture that its pixel same as your screen resolution.These are the resolution that supported by Windows.

background768×1280.jpg
background960×1280.jpg
background900×1440.jpg
background1024×768.jpg
background1024×1280.jpg
background1280×768.jpg
background1280×960.jpg
background1280×1024.jpg
background1360×768.jpg
background1440×900.jpg
background1600×1200.jpg
background1920×1200.jpg

You can use paint to resize the resolution of the picture that you wanted it to replace the logon background.Please note that the picture must below than 256kb.

You can also use photoshop to adjust the picture screen resolution.

If the picture is more than 256kb,you can adjust the quality of the picture by reduce its size less than 256kb when you "save as" the picture.The features is not available in paint.

Open windows explorer>organize>folder and search option>view tab>untick(hide extensions for known file types)

Rename the picture that you have edited to "backgroundDefault.jpg"

Go to Computer>C:>Windows>System32>oobe>info>backgrounds

Create yourself the "info" and "backgrounds" folder if you dun have one.

If prompted by User Account Control,click yes to approve.

Paste the picture that you have edited inside the folder.(below 256kb)

Close all the windows then you are done.

Press Alt+Ctrl+Delete or log off to see the result.

These are the example(mine is 1360 x 760):

BEFORE

AFTER

*If your screen resolution is not supported by Windows,for example:

Your screen resolution is 2560×1600,you can resize the picture to 1920×1200 can name it "background1920×1200.jpg",then name the original picture "backgroundDefault.jpg".(both picture must less than 256kb)

The "backgroundDefault.jpg" will be streched to fit and used by windows if windows cannot find the correct screen resolution.

Paste both picture into the backgrounds folder that you have created(means that that folder now got 2 picture inside).

Enjoy.

Problem in Windows Live Movie Maker and How To Fix It

2008-11-26T08:04:00.000-08:00

Problems in Windows Live Movie Maker and how-to fix it:

Movie Maker requires Windows Vista.
To use Movie Maker in Windows Vista Home Basic N and Windows Vista Business N, you must have Windows Media Player installed. If you try to start Movie Maker in these editions of Vista without Media Player installed, Movie Maker will stop responding. To install Windows Media Player, go to: http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/c/3/ac367925-39e7-4451-a175-a224f94fbdce/wmformat11sdk.exe
Movie Maker beta only supports adding media from your local hard drive. Media added from a network share or external device is not supported in the beta.
Movie Maker beta only supports the following file formats: WMV, JPEG, MP3, and WMA. Using any other video, photo, or music file format may create problems using the beta.
The Effects and Transitions galleries in Movie Maker beta don’t properly display applied effects and transitions when more than one item is selected in the storyboard.
Movie Maker beta doesn’t support audio mixing. If you add a song as a soundtrack to a video, it's possible that the audio from the music files will overpower the audio from the video files. To prevent this, you can use the Windows Media Encoder http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx to re-encode the music to a lower volume level before you add it to your Movie Maker project.
