About:
+
+
VTF Plug-In is a 32 bit/64 bit Paint.NET file format
+ plug-in for the .vtf file format. It is a simple plug-in that supports single-frame/multiple-frame, 3
+ or 4 channel .vtf files in any format. It is designed for typical .vtf creation and viewing and does
+ not contain the advanced features found in VTFEdit.
+ Nonetheless, it can be a useful tool for creating simple .vtf files.

The differences between the two arise from differences between the two APIs, that is,
+ the Paint.Net API is far easier to work with than the old Photoshop API.

PDN doesn't appear to recognize the new version (there is no .VTF listed in its open
+ dialog, etc). For reference, I'm on XP x64.

Doesn't work in Vista 64 either. I don't get why this is the only file type that
+ doesn't work on x64.

Is there a way to save textures with an alpha layer? It doesn't seem to work using
+ Paint.NET so I thought this plugin might help. I have two layers open and save as VTF, it doesn't ask me
+ to merge the layers first so it seems it will save the VTF with the alpha layer included, but when I
+ open the VTF the alpha layer is blank.
+
+ I hae also tried merging the layers before saving but with same result.

Never mind I managed to embed the alpha channel with TGAtool2
+
+
+
+
Im on Vista 64 bit and the plugin doesnt seem to work here either.
+
+ does this allow us to open VTF's too? or just save?
+
+

The plug-in is 32 bit because of a dependency on a 32 bit NVIDIA library. It won't
+ work on 64 bit Pain.Net installations.

I remember using the plugin successfully a few months ago but now when I try to save
+ my VTFs, PDN crashes... I use Vista 32 bit. Maybe a problem caused by a new version of PDN?

Hey, I'm trying to use paint.net for making TF2 skins, I know I used the GCFscape and
+ VTFEdit program properly to extract the skin I wanna change, yet when I open it up everything shows up
+ as a transparency. Is there a setting I need to switch paint.net to or is the transparency normal, and
+ how am I to change the colors when they aren't even the true colors. Please Advise

+
+

Never mind what I said, I found a way around it being a transparency, for anyone
+ having trouble the way I did, just go into the VTFEdit program and copy the whole thing, then paste into
+ paint.net and it will not be transparent. you will probably end up saving it as a bmp or jpeg. But if
+ you have VTFEdit just convert it back into a VTF format.
