That was more of a general statement, I have a lot of plugins and plugin packs right now (a bit too much to list) and not even everything I want yet, honestly I just go here if I'm looking for more and get things that interest me, or if I need something specifically I google around until I find either a tutorial for what I want to do or a plugin that'll do the job for me.
My point is less 'find the right plugins' and more 'Paint.NET can become powerful/limitless because of plugins.'
Again I don't have much experience in other image editors (haven't personally used Gimp, haven't personally used Photoshop, etc.), so I'm not sure if this can also apply to other image editors as well.
(sorry for vague response lol)
Ah, i know about paint.NET's potential, but i need some more (better) plugins as i noticed the few i have installed arent enough anymore. Thought that you maybe could list me a few of your fav ones. ^-^
Hmm, well off the top of my head, some I use most often are...
Grim Color Reaper is helpful for cropping simple background images.
Similarly if you're doing a lot of cropping work, this
Feather plugin is good
to hide bad cropping.Alpha Mask I use a lot for making gradient text and such without ruining the antialiasing on the text (I'm sure it has more uses than that, but still trying to experiment with it).
BoltBait and
pyrochild have some interesting plugin packs which add lots of cool extra effects that I tend to use from a lot.
For making rounded corners (for osu! avatars, obviously) I tend to use
Radius Fill Corners, then increase canvas size, delete extra white space, then an Outline Object effect (either from both plugin packs mentioned above) to make an outline for said image edges.
Those are just a few I tend to use a lot that I can think of right now (they're all kind of common too so I won't be surprised if you already have them lol), I'll let you know if I find some more worth giving a special mention.^^
